Is Leigha Brown on Michigan the best small forward in the country? I know her 3 ball has been a bit off to start the season, but her ability to handle the ball and her mid-range is deadly. I got carried away and said Destiny Henderson is the best point in the country after the Stanford game. I may be doing the same after seeing Michigan dominate OSU. I guess Rhyne Howard is the one I'm kind of forgetting about.

There's a lesson to be learned here about generalizing in superlatives from a sample size of one.

I don't know about the entire country, as she's got Ashley Joens', reigning Cheryl Miller winner in the same category I believe. She's damn good though

Alternate theory: Ohio State isn’t very good, and makes Leigha Brown look amazing. She’s good, but Ohio State shouldn’t be a Top 25 team.

Theory is partially correct. Ohio State isn't good, but damn, she carried Michigan on her back against Baylor when Hillmon fouled out.

She made a huge difference to the team since joining last season.

I really like Ashley Joens but I feel she plays mostly the 4. In their (ISU) starting lineup, I'd think her sister or LD would be more of their starting 3. I did caution that I may be forgetting someone, but tbh I don't think I have. I also do still think Destiny Henderson is the best point in the country, despite the game she had yesterday.
 
In the only Pac 12 game that actually happened today, Washington St. hammered Cal 69-42. Looks like the Bears were missing several key players, including Curry, Green and Daniels (#1, 4 and 5 scorers). Elsnitz started the game, and she's barely played at all this year, so that gives some idea of them being shorthanded.
 
Mississippi State’s Monday night game vs Kentucky has been postponed. They will play at South Carolina tomorrow evening @ 6:00 instead. South Carolina’s game vs Ole Miss originally scheduled was ppd earlier in the week.

 
My Aggies made a trip to Hampton to face off against on-time and now current Conference Foe Hampton.... they had some battles when both were part of the MEAC... including dashing Hampton's dreams of going to the NCAA in their last season in the MEAC. Unfortunately, A&T was down 9 players.. including their 2 best players an lost 85-71. The score was 66-60 going into the 4th quarter.... but my aggies ran out of gas.
 
Oh well, I guess I will have to find something else to watch tomorrow.

Any inside information on how we might be able to see this game? The ESPN website lists it but doesn’t show any TV.

TIA
 
15 games featuring top 25 today and so far only 2 cancelled
Hope that holds!

The 13 games feature 17 ranked teams
 
Looks like Louisville vs Georgia Tech game is off. Nope, wrong info. GT has only seven players available.

One of the ugliest games I’ve seen in a while. Gets even uglier knowing we lost to both teams

Emily should have transferred to Uconn, Breanna made a mistake, telling her to go to Louisville. They are a bad offensive team.
 
Duke ND the unique game where offenses look competent 33-31
Duke with 3+ left in 2Q Lexi Gordon looking good 12 pts 2-5 from 3 (5-8 overall)
 
Duke ND best game of the day. Duke Wins 72-70 Duke with ND not able to make decent looks on last possession. Balogun was great. Miles has so much talent but decision making needs to get better. Don't know why Citron is not called on more

How do you evaluate Maryland? They are 1-4 against top 10 opponents, and their only top 10 win just lost to an unranked opponent.

As I've said on the Maryland boards, this is not the same team as last season. Bibby and Collins play has fallen off significantly. Owusu is not playing at an All American level. Looks like they lost Faith Masonius with a knee injury. Hard to see them getting past the Sweet 16 with the way they are playing.
