NCAAW Division I Schedule - Women's Basketball - ESPN

Pittsburgh plays NC State expect a good game with NC state winning. Would like to watch the BYU vs Oklahoma game doesn't show any tv. Missouri at Missouri State should be a great game.

I’m excited to watch Mo State and Mo that’s always a fun rivalry game.

Would love to see BYU and Oklahoma as well. Two teams with really great guard play. I think BYU will win. They are better defensively and Gonzales and Harding can both score with the Oklahoma guards.

Game will be on sooner sports tv through the OU media website. I think it’s free if I remember but the quality of the video isn’t great.

Will be a good gauge for if Missouri is for real. They haven't fared well against their in-state rival the last few times.

I’m not sure Mo State is really they are hard to gauge right now as well. Their defense looks great but their offense is almost non-existent. Totally different from when Harper was there. Same players running a different system and they can’t score.

Defense looks the same as when Kellie was their coach though. I’m most curious to see how they do next season.

I feel you are intentionally misrepresenting the conversation. NO ONE here is commenting on minor girls looks and dress and I'm just sure you get that. So is it creepy to talk about others, such as NIL, who actually do that? I just can't get that. Like don't discuss cancer and its treatments bc that makes cancer worse? Once again, it was predicted here (and decried) that less skilled, more conventionally attractive players would get unlikely NIL deals. Here it obviously is. But we're creeps if we say it?

IMO, that kind of broad brush over the top sensitivity is what is causing alot of very needed conversations not to happen, and making some real idiots seem justified.

Last time, I promise.

First off, you missed a comment that straight-up sexualized that girl, which is what people were initially bothered by. Thankfully it's been edited.

But in general bro, make your points and keep it moving. If you wanna write essays, take that talent to the New York Magazine and spare the rest of us. Most preachy, self-righteous know-it-all mf on here.

BINGO! Her claim to fame was her "inside scoop" due to her seemingly unfettered access to Pat (who knows how much of that was real). Holly allowed that to an extent, but it was clear that Maria was only able to report on the narrative to Holly's stringent specifications. I'm glad to Kellie has no time for her nonsense.

Maria's moderation style was that you had to toe her line, whether you were a LV fan or someone else. That meant everything was rainbow and butterflies, and any critique of the program, coaches or players (no matter how reasonable) was grounds for banishment. Nan seems to tolerate dissent within the UConn fanbase and is generally welcome to comments from other fanbases...as long as it isn't straight up trash-talking (which is reasonable) or providing your 2 cents if things are not going swimmingly (not so reasonable IMO). She seems to do a good enough job of calling out UConn homers when they are being d!cks, though.

I always heard that Pat wasn't a huge fan but was very kind and careful what to say. Also that some of the players during Candace's time at UT did not want to speak to her.

I haven't been to the Summitt in ages. Is she still revered there, or have people caught on to what she is?

In WNBA news, Sandy Brondello has parted ways with Phoenix and is apparently interested in the Liberty gig, wow to both parts of that equation!

I think she’d be a great fit with the Liberty. She’s got experience and is a great coach. Suspect she was wanting a raise Phoenix wasn’t willing to give. Sounded like she probably asked for more $$$ and the owner said a runner-up wasn’t a championship like she promised.

Liberty has some really talented players she could do a lot with right away. I don’t think Hopkins was much of a coach. His personnel decisions during games were always very confusing.

Idk, I haven't been a member or looked over there in years. I used to be very active over there and posted quite a lot when I was playing and doing some coaching. A lot of good people and posters were run off from there. I really miss the old board with Sybil, Betty Bean, and so many others whose names I am forgetting now. I was just a teen when I discovered it and my love for Pat and the Lady Vols.

One thing's for sure, it'll be exciting to see NY with an actual coach. Would much rather have Phoenix in the post-season gutter than the Liberty.

Well, I havent read the Handbag U bulletin board in years, so am guessing 5-10 years ago? It was great. Wish I had a copy of that thread.

Which loss were they talking about? Lord, those people need to rack up a few Holly-esque seasons so they can really understand what it means to be a tormented fan 🙄

Oklahoma will be something to deal with if they can figure out some defense. They have got the offense going. Down 41-37 to a good defensive team in BYU. Only shooting 25% 37 points is pretty good, getting on the oboards and second chance points boosting them.

If we shoot 25% we score about 25 or less in the first half I’d guess. We’ve got to shoot a pretty good percentage to score a lot not being a 3 point shooting team or high FT make team. Both of which OU does well.

I believe it was the loss at Stanford that ended their 90 game undefeated streak or something. It’s been several years so it’s fuzzy. They were really upset about that one though.

Could have been when MSST beat them as well similar situation.

Oh right...Stanford was the one that broke their record winning streak.

I have my doubts that the BYers' kids or grandkids would give two craps about the story. They'd probably be like, "Ugh...again?"

MSU is putting it on MIZZOU so far. Blackwell in particular has not been effective. Not able to rebound like she was against the smaller teams they have played. 3 boards in the first half and 4 points. No fouls for her though which is a bonus as she has a history of foul trouble.

Missouri State’s fans really show up for them. It’s great to see big crowds again.
