I am not I am not that familiar with Davis, and she definitely did not have a great NCAA tournament. But I did see part of Ole Miss's SEC semifinal game against LSU, and she was REALLY good: 21pts (8-15), 5 rebounds, 4 steals. The Liberty are deep and talented enough she won't be asked to make...

Could see her backing up Collier. Like Collier, undersized "PF" who could maybe be a bigger three, who is efficient from field.

This feels more like a team fit than "best available." Dallas just doesn't need a post: They have McCowan/Brown/Soares at the 5. Howard/Sabally potentially at 4. After Arike, the only guard who is a scoring threat for Dallas is Crystal Dangerfield, who is vertically challenged. Burton is...

That being said, having a McCowan career is nothing to sneeze at. She's averaged close to a double double since she entered the league despite averaging just 23mpg. There have been plenty of times when she has looked dominant.

What makes SC so unique is they don't rely on 1, 2, or even 3 specific players having good nights to be able to win. Anyone in their rotation (which this season was 9) can step up and be the Player of the Game. Did anyone call Tessa Johnson (arguably the 9th player in their rotation) being the...

We will see what Angel Reese does, but thus far Paige (and maybe Amoore) is the only top potential draft pick to come back for one more year (And Paige's career has been interrupted by injuries, so understand her wanting another year). Seems like thus far all the predictions that NLI would...

Kiki Rice's NCAA tournament stats: 22ppg, 6.5rpg, 2.5apg, 52%FG, 17/17 from FT line, just one turnover Team's leading scorer in NCAAs. Massively undervalued at 21. Aziaha James' NCAA tournament stats: 20.5ppg, 2.5rpg, 3.5apg, 47%FG, 5/5 from FT line; just one turnover . Team's leading...

Given the tournament has been mostly chalk so far (all 1 and 2 seeds advancing), I think it's more instructive to see which teams underperformed: #3 seeds: UK (SEC) lost in first round, Baylor (B12) lost in second #4 seeds: Auburn (SEC) lost in first round, Kansas (B12) lost in second--though...

Plenty of 4 seeds lose to a 5 seed (see Colorado and Kansas St). I'm not a believer in Baylor, but given they were without their best player and All American, thought Va Tech played really tough all weekend. Sucks their season had to end this way, but all the players on the court should hold...

Yeah I guess the questions is, where would you have ranked VT if you had known about Kitley? I can definitely see them dropping from a 4 to a 5 and not getting to host anymore (to either CO or Utah's advantage), but...I can't see them falling any further.

If there is one person keeping A. Edwards off any All American lists it will be Paige. I actually don't think any team will place two in the top 10, and if there is one team, it's probably SC (Cardoso and PaoPao).

A bit surprised LSU and Ole Miss both have two players on SEC first team while SC only has one; although potentially the 3 players from SC on second team all split votes.

The WNBA's TV deal with ESPN is up in 2025. Most people think the next deal will be significantly bigger, which obviously supports league salaries. If Clark is able to bring more viewership to the WNBA, that will benefit all players.

I will be shocked If Iowa and SC end up in same region.

Stanford is almost certainly going to win the Pac12, and maybe get a #1 seed, by virtue of their Pac12 schedule. There's a clear top 6 teams in the Pac 12 this year [Stanford, UCLA, USC, Colorado, Oregon St, Utah)--up to 5 of them could get a top 4 seed. Stanford has only played SIX total...

Gayles was tragically the victim of a shooting that made her miss her entire freshman year. The fact that she is back on the team as a redshirt frosh is a minor miracle, but she's only appeared in 7 games this year. The USC team looks a lot different than last year's team, not just because of...

I know there is a debate among UConn fans about who is more deserving to be recognized between Bueckers and Edwards, but I would be shocked if voters don't honor Paige due to MUCH higher name ID, plus the fact that she's having a great comeback season. IMO, if voters are going to honor someone...

You got to think at #3 they are aiming for Cardoso or Rickea Jackson. At #8, maybe Puoch from Australia? Maybe Jacy Sheldon will be available at #13 (or #8 if they think she has Allie Quigley potential)/

yes. and USC still won.

I agree though Kansas St actually has one more TOTAL point (521 vs 520) than Colorado, so for all intensive purposes voters have them tied.

Top 6 remains the same, but then a lot of movement: https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/rankings 7. USC (+3) 8. Va Tech (+4) 9. Oregon St (+2) 10. Kansas St (-3) 11. Colorado (-3) 12. UCLA (-3) 15. UConn Other moves: the middle/top of the ACC moves around in rankings: 17...

That looks about right Vowel. Given VA Tech's recent "resurgence" [back in the top 8 of AP, in drivers seat to win ACC]; and the fact that Kitley was a preseason all american--and having another great season--she fits right in on the first team. I could see Paige taking one of Hidalgo or JuJu's...

All great names bballnut90, and the more I think about it, the more I think it will be tougher for ANY school to get two names on a 10 player list, given how much parity there has been this season [and the one team that could get 2 players--SC--is the ultimate in balanced production]. That would...

And who do we have on the 10 person WNBCA All Americans (I'm not ranking, just counting) 1. LOCK: Clark 2. LOCK: Brink 3. LOCK: Paige 4. LOCK: Juju 5. LOCK: Hidalgo 6. LOCK: Kitley 7. LOCK: Someone from South Carolina (probably Cardoso) 8. LOCK: Someone from LSU (probably Reese) 9. Probably a...

Stef Dolson is back with the Mystics: https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/39525465/sources-stefanie-dolson-returning-mystics-2-year-deal A post rotation of Austin, Egbo, Hines-Allen, and Dolson is pretty decent.

If Oregon st can take care of business at the Washington schools, and split USC and Stanford at home, they are 100% in the running for a #1 seed. [At this point, I think only SC, and MAYBE Stanford--given their remaining schedule--have a #1 seed locked up]. I think probably only one of Ohio...

I would say the NET has been wonkier than the AP this year, imo. UConn at 4, Utah as the second highest rated team in Pac 12, Indiana ahead of Kansas St, Nc State, CO, USC despite having ZERO good wins.

Given how Oregon St has been playing, their remaining schedule also gives them a lot of opportunity to move up to a #2 seed, if not a #1 seed if they truly run the table and beat UCLA, USC, and Stanford all at home [daunting but far from unfathomable].

The fact that SC and LSU only play once in the regular season is a scandal, but if you look at the season's preseason rankings [from November] their schedule looked a whole lot tougher: #1 LSU #2 UConn #5 Utah #10 ND #11 Tenn #12 Ole Miss #14 MD #16 UNC #25 Miss St In an indication of how...

Rutgers has talent, but a lot of it is new. Their best defensive and glue player has been out all season, and Smikle's season has been a wash. They do bring in a 5-star guard next year, but this team is going to need to get a lot better defensively and with turnovers.

Oregon St is 6 games into what could have been a devastating 8 game swing: @ Stanford L vs CO W vs Utah W @ Oregon W @ Utah W @ CO W vs UCLA vs USC Instead they are thus far 5-1. Even if they split the home series with USC and UCLA you'd have to call this a rousing success. Their only...

as of right now, teams ranked 2, 3, and 4 all lost this week. And #5 Ohio St is about to tip off at Mich St, which will not be easy.

Oregon St up 20 (!) AT COLORADO at the half. Oregon St suddenly looking like a Pac12 TITLE contender.

No doubt Maya was excellent her rookie season, but her stats actually pale in comparison to what she eventually became: 13.2ppg, 4.6rpg, 2.6apg. [And I'd argue Augustus and Whalen had better seasons]. A'ja Wilson is similar on that front.

Caitlin Clark has already played in an NCAA championship game. Iowa has a great chance of making the Final 4 this year. She's played on the biggest stages in the NCAA, and don't think she'll have any "better" chance of getting there in another year. Plus, while I think she'd be #1 pick no matter...
