Uconn game should be interesting tonight vs OM.

you might be a tad harsh on OK, I think they will have a great season. Duke will also have a great season tbh, two nice looking teams.

Yeah, these aren't exactly the most impartial and rational posters around here tonight. The LV hype is over the moon and everyone else is dog poo. Whatever.

Sure hope someone streams OM/UConn, though I'd be surprised if that stays close.

So how about Duke letting this "mediocre" OK team score 99? Any soul searching to do there?

I guess I'm simple. I thought both games were very entertaining and all four teams at least decent in early games.

And thankfully, someone threw up a link to Flo Hoops on twitter and I was able to watch Duke/OU.

That’s not the issue though. OU is widely regarded as an excellent offensive team. They’re gonna score on you. Their inability to find workable solutions on defense is killing their brand though.

It was the same story the last couple years. They can put up 100 no problem but will let their opponent score 101.

i just think they were that good, the streak meant nothing when it was the refs and injuries that helped that. So I though it would be a blowout for UCLA if the refs didn’t give it to them and being healthy, they are just a stepping stone to where UCLA is trying to go, on to the next. They just exposed them for who they are,thats Why had had them outside the top 5 when we did rankings on here and everyone thought I was crazy, they have a team full of role players, nothing special.

No worries then, based upon your analysis SC is no threat in the SEC this year. Thanks for the update, let’s cross SC off the list of contenders.

And Duke/Kara is widely regarded as a defensive team. Not tonight.

I thought they both looked pretty good. OK is huge but do look slow.

No sir!
I’ve seen both and fact is they are overrated.
I never said they were mediocre but more like solid Top 20-25 teams as opposed to Top 10-15.

I’m actually a bit worried about Ole Miss today. I think it’s going to be a close one.

Beers camps in the lane like crazy. They called two 3 seconds on her in the first half. She’s done it about 5 times in the second half with no call. I’d tell my players to count out loud every possession.

She won’t be quick enough to match our players. On offense or defense.

Tennessee can score with UCONN right now.
Keep getting better on both ends of the floor, stay healthy, and when they come to Food City Center it’s about to be a track meet!

Yes, there is so much either/or thinking on this thread about teams and players being great or horrible with little in between. Once the opinion is given, then every comment from then on it to defend and build on that one point of view. I agree, 99 points on Duke's highly respected defense is impressive. I also agree that allowing Duke to score 109 points is embarrassing.
