Who Will Be The Face of Women's College Basketball For The 2023-24 Season?

Who really cares about their SEC schedule, they have to play those teams. No surprise. I would like to see who they play in OOC. That will show me if they have the balls to play good teams, especially since they are the defending National Champs, and I don't mean teams that are at tournaments. I mean teams that they schedule for future home and home series.

Everyone knows that LSU's SEC schedule is tougher than UConn's Big East Schedule.
So why do folks want to make such a big deal about LSU's OOC schedule?
Both LSU & UConn play cup cake teams 1/2 the time anyway.
Playing a tougher OOC schedule didn't help UConn to advance during March Madness.

@The deacon i don’t disagree that Caitlin is a great player — and you’ve defended her name stoutly these last three years. But the fact is her only truly great achievement was last season, and she rightly was recognized for it with the NPOY. I stand by my statement that prior to last season all she really accomplished was stats. The very fact that Paige won the NPOY in their freshman year despite Caitlin’s numbers is the confirmation of it. Gaudy stats are not enough. Yes, a conference title is something to be proud of, but I guarantee you that she was disappointed in the results of her first two seasons.

And now Caitlin has finally matched Paige’s achievements, and if we are all very lucky this coming season will be their moment to shine in competition with each other. Neither has actually won an NC (sorry I mistyped above) and it’s high time one of them actually did. Merely making it to an NC game is not enough for either of these great competitors.

But this is all old news and we’ve argued this out before. The question before us is which of them will be the media darling headlining this season. This is not simply a matter of who’s better, but also of who has more star power. In this matter, I don’t believe there’s any competition. Paige’s charisma and the excitement of a comeback story will just be too great for anyone else to overshadow.

I’m confused - isn’t her “job” as the centerpiece of Iowa’s offense to score a lot of points? Caitlin has “only” one great achievement? That’s one more than 98% of other NCAA players.

I never understood diminishing someone’s accomplishments to defend the accomplishments of another

Don't know if she will be the face of Women's college basketball, but right now Angel Reese is the pride of Baltimore.

It looks like half of Hailey Van Lith's outfit is missing.

And Brink looks like she's wearing a cosplay outfit, only she isn't at ComiCon.

I guess they are ready for the WNBA, where bizarre attire is the norm!

I don't think it's bizarre at all. They are all in their late teens or very early 20's. Look at any "series" on TV right now that focuses on high school kids (even younger) and what they wear on those shows is no different than what those 3 have on.

Would I like my daughter to dress like that? Well given that my "kids" are all fur babies, it would be funny to see my dog or cat dressed like that, but all joking aside, like it or not, it's how kids dress these days.

Am I a fan? Not really (altho I do have to admit the looks are "fun"), but in the 50's, parents weren't fans of jeans and white T-shirts and DA hair styles. I think in most every era, parent's aren't thrilled with how kids dress!

Back to the original topic, I don't see why there can't be multiple "faces" of WCBB this season. Players like Reese will be interesting because some seem to dislike her larger than life personality and her edgy attitude. Players like Fudd are more quiet and will let their games speak for themselves. Players like Paige and Caitlyn both have big personalities to go along with big games ( think Brink is somewhere in the middle).

IMHO there's room for all of them. Do I "LIKE" all of them? Of course not. But that's part of the fun. Root against he "bad guys", or players/teams you dislike, and root for the "good guys", or players/teams you do like...

We are not discussing the appearance of young women here. There are other types of sites for that
