She's literally 2nd in the country in rebounds per page at 15.5. Look at her rebounding against SEC teams this year below. I don't care who you are or who you are playing, that is legit eye popping!!! You can't tell me that isn't being tough on the glass. I'd hate to see someone's stats who is tough LOL! SC has the best post play in the country so give her a pass there, and anyone is going to struggle to rebound or score against their bigs.

Arkansas - 16 boards
Vandy - 17 boards
Texas A&M - 28 boards
Kentucky - 13 boards
Mizzou - 12 boards
Auburn - 15 boards
Arkansas - 19 boards
Bama - 14 boards
Tennessee - 17 boards
Georgia - 14 boards
Texas A&M - 22 boards
South Carolina - 4 boards
Ole Miss - 20 boards

In a WNBA standpoint this year in the SEC minus key this stat line means literally nothing. Which teams listed are on the top 25 and not by default ?

This final four in 2023 is going to be strange none of the regulars outside of SC do I see making it. UCONN playing terrible barely beating big east teams and here’s ESPN.”we know when it’s time they will play to that championship level” 🤣 I pray they get Utah or LSU in their bracket as a 2 seed heck they may not even get to the 2nd weekend without Azzi returning and if so it’s not like she’s going to return on a mission. She’s the feel myself out and gel with the team type player . If she’s not back big big east Tourney UCONN is in trouble .

Maybe its the overprotective Dad in me, but I cannot believe Ducharme went back in that game! If that's my daughter, I'm on the court pulling her out myself. Just back from 13 days in concussion protocol, takes a blow across the face, is down for a moment, then on the bench in tears with an ice pack on the back of her neck. Then goes back in? NOSIREEEEE. Not my kid in a million years.

Less importantly, Nova isn't very good and if they're #14 we're easily top 10. Also, Nova got every call and no call late, including the obvious foul to Ducharme.

No doubt….living in the present though…😉. I suppose Cowboy fans feel the same as you do, get it completely. History is fascinating. You probably know this, but the Middle East was once upon a time the cradle of civilization.

I love retorts from @NeedOrange

Lets call Uconn the Roman Empire shall we?

Still haven't seen any sign of the Huns. Why don't you change your handle to Rooster11 to reflect your ranking.

UConn just holding Villanova on every play and no calls. Ridiculous.

When it comes to UConn, you are always saying they get the calls. Three players were hit in the face and not one was called a foul. Edwards was under the basket, and after being hit she doubled over for a couple of seconds, and not only did they not call a foul, Edwards was called for a travel. As I have said many times, the officials in the WBB game suck. A Villanova player pushed Muhl into another player, and they called a foul on Muhl instead of the Villanova player. If any team was getting hosed, it was UConn.

You couldn't be more surprised than me. The way the coaching staff has been giving all the time she wanted before returning, there is no way they would send her in unless she begged them to. Tough player, knowing that the team needed her.

Are you kidding?!!? Everything after your first sentence is flat out insane. Because she begged? Because she's a tough player and the team needed her????

I don't care if she crawled over cut glass she IS NOT GOING BACK ON THAT FLOOR! Especially without being examined. She wasn't even out long enough to be examined for concussion, just threw an ice pack on her neck, dried her tears and sent her back

I saw that whack to the head area, saw that ice pack and thought I bet she's shut down for the season, at least the regular season. Minimum full concussion exam and probably back in protocol. The danger of re-concussing does not get overlooked bc the player wants to help the team.

To beat Uconn, you have to play like Uconn. Uconn is physical and try to push people around. You don't hear a word about it until another team pushes back and then its like, "They're all over us, make them stop, I can't believe these calls, on and on and on" boo hoo.

Lots of extra basketball in the Big 12 today!


3 OTs for Texas Tech and Oklahoma State 92-80 OSU finally gutting out some easy scores in the final OT to pull away.

2 OTs for Iowa State and Baylor. Ashley Joens was just too mentally tough finally. What a player, she is probably the toughest kid in the country.

Baylor has some super athletes but just cannot get organized the last several games. I suspect they will have some transfers. If LPB or Fontleroy are in the portal I would die to have either. Especially Littlepage-Buggs. Super player with a lot of heart.

How is Aliyah Boston being even considered for national player of the year when she is only average 13 points a game?

They are putting her in there which since she won it last year is fine. She won't win it this year looks certain to go to Clark her stats are just to formidable to not give it to her.
