IMO it was an absolute JOKE she received any of those awards as a freshman. That season they only played two real, quality, opponents the entire season. Their other good games were cancelled.

They got an easy path to the Final Four from the committee like they always do and she didn’t win a championship. Hasn’t and never will.

They talked about her non-stop on every WBB broadcast the entire season. It was irritating. Who cares if she was torching Butler or Xavier or some other God awful Big East team.

She could never handle the physicality and load of playing in a real conference like the SEC or the ACC. Isn’t built for it.

Fair enough.

Such a stupid, stupid person you are. You shouldn't be allowed to comment about any player or team outside of Tennessee. She is the best all-around player in WBB right now, and she can do anything she wants on the court. I've said it before, you know nothing about WBB outside of Knoxville, and all your comments aren't from watching but from reading comments from others. Regarding yesterday, yes, the frontcourt needs a lot of work, but since this was Strongs FIRST college basketball game, and this was Janas FIRST college basketball game, of course they need improvement. This is an exhibition game idiot, and all Geno was doing was throwing out different combinations to see what might work. Paige, 27 points, 12-14 from the floor and 3-4 on threes. But yes, she is over hyped and is a joke for the awards she won as a freshman. And to say she couldn't handle any other conference, including the SEC, well, as I said, you are a stupid, stupid person.

Again, it’s exhibition but UCONN played a very similar opponent to us in DII Ft. Hayes State. I wasn’t impressed at all. They have no bench and Ice Brady couldn’t even get on the board against a DII school.

We’re supposed to believe she’s gonna hold it down on the interior for them all season? I don’t think so. El Alfy has potential but she has a looonngg way to go after her injuries. Just isn’t there to give them any serviceable minutes in the paint against quality competition.

I do not think Bueckers can carry them. She just ain’t it. Geno thought she was what Clark is. CC is the truth and Bueckers is an over hyped lie.

I think VB09 is basically just having fun trolling (like a Gule without the "wink, wink" and much less humor), maybe with a glass or 3 of wine by his/her keyboard. If you want more of these profound hot takes, just keep replying to the posts.

I disagree about VolBall09 not being to comment about Non Tennessee players when they are probably the biggest Caitlin Clark fan on this board.

It's the first game of the season for both Ole Miss and Southern Cal, so neither team is likely to be as sharp as they project to be by January. But I have to think USC should still beat them pretty soundly. But who knows?!

I'm positive, though, that seeing Quentin Hillsman on Yo's staff will be gross.

What does Ole Miss need to do today to keep the notion alive that they can be a top 25 team. Keep it within 15 points?

No, I don't expect them to win or even push the Troggans til the final minutes. U$C is as loaded as a team can be with talent.

If they can limit USC's scoring and put the clamps on Juju Watkins, staying within 15 points, it's a good outcome for them.

I understand how exciting it is for the players to get to start their season in Paris and all, but looking at that smallish crowd I can't help thinking they'd have had a much bigger, livelier crowd at either of these teams' home court.

It's close late in the 2nd, but OM may have the worse offense in the conference this year. A team of bricklayers up and down the roster.

If they shoot like they're shooting in the first game, under the distraction of being in Paris, then that could be true. But I don't expect any team to be, all season, exactly the same team they are in Game One. They'd be the first in history if that turns out to be the case.

Vb09 communes with copious quantities of strong libation, does mind meld with coach in frigid New England, burps and turns, bleary eyed and dissolute, to keyboard.

A reasonable person might suspect that you have no friggen idea what Geno thought.

I actually don’t drink at all. Thanks.

f*** off.
