I normally wouldn’t watch a game ole LSU vs SE Louisiana.

But a fight might break out between this heated game - between LSU mommas

I was waiting for a punchline like that.

Forgot to put some recommendations, though I'm not sure all will be televised.

Thursday is pretty loaded. I think there are some solid matchups that will help assess some teams. Duke plays Davidson on Thursday and Davidson gave UNC everything they could handle earlier this week. Basketball math is not the greatest tool but if Duke beats then handily I think it at least give the notion that they are a top 25 team who will compete in the ACC.

South Florida and Alabama is an interesting game. I'm not sure what's going on with Sammie P on the USF side but they still have a lot of talent. And Alabama has had a strong start to the season. I remember some people thought they'd be top 7 in the SEC and I was surprised. It will be good to watch them.


Lastly Princeton vs UCLA on Friday is something I'll definitely have on my radar. I'm a Kaitlyn Chen stan but Princeton also has a lot of returners and a good freshman class. I'm not sure if UCLA will be a bit undermanned again as a couple of players left to play for their national teams I. Qualifying tournaments. That said they've gotten off to a great start

I think these 3 games did tell us something.
Princeton almost beat UCLA. I remain a Kaitlyn Chen stan. was a great battle.

Alabama trounced South Florida. It looks like Sarah Ashlee Barker is off to a great start this season. I always liked her game. big, physical guard who can shoot.

Davidson did end up beating Duke...
 
Battle of near the bottom of the Pac 12 vs. near the bottom of the SEC--Cal/Auburn.

Chicago St. getting boat raced by Florida Atlantic. They are a real threat to go winless this year.

Ducks hit 34% from the field 3-14 from 3. Urk.

Well at least they play ASU twice this season. Meanwhile the other Pac-12 “weak sister” Cal gets a double digit road win at Auburn.

Uh oh Duckies. Getting run out of the gym by Santa Clara. Former UW Husky Olivia Pollerd is pacing them in scoring. I didn't think she got a fair shake her 1 season in Seattle. Recruited by the outgoing coach, hardly saw the floor as a Fr. Oh well, working out okay for her it looks like.
 
Santa Clara destroyed Oregon 89-50. What the hell is that?! Hmm SCU 16-28 from 3 UO 5-21. Yowzer.

Meanwhile Washington is looking really uninspired against a terrible Seattle U. team.

Graves is not helping his case lately. Losing by 40 at home to Santa Clara? Jeeez
 
This is the Santa Clara team that lost to Cal 71-56. Eek for the Ducks.

No team suffered more from Covid than Oregon. That 2020 title was theirs, which would’ve brought attention and recruiting.

I would say Oregon has recruited some dang good talent but a lot of attrition in recent years but still this current Oregon roster has no business losing by 39 at home

Graves got to get things turned out and fast.
 
Washington made Seattle U. look like a decent team today. SU lost by 29 and 28 in their 2 previous games against UC Irvine and Portland. Pretty frustrating game. At least they didn't lose. Terrible shooting from the charity stripe and behind the 3 point arc. A bunch of O boards but they didn't convert that many of them into points. Not many assists. Lost the TO battle. A game like that will be a loss against most conference foes.

I didn't see a clear winner. I thought that South Carolina, Baylor, and Oregon all had roughly equal chances. They were head and shoulders above everyone else.
Expand ...

This ^^. Baylor had a bad loss entering the tournament but still had a great resume and would have been tough with their roster. All 3 would've had home crowds for regionals too. SC was a lock for #1 overall seed so they would've likely faced the winner of the projected Louisville/Maryland regional in the Final Four, and the other semifinal would've likely been Oregon/Baylor.

A self proclaimed banner doesn’t make it so.
Oregon was the best, most experienced team that year.
Expand ...
Yeah, they got that Massey vote. Oh, and yours.

AP? Nope? Coaches? Nope? NET? Nope, RPI? Nope. Nolan ELO? Nope.

The banner is as irrelevant a championship as it to your assertion “the 2020 title was “ the Ducks
