The problem with UGA is they simply cannot score at all. They don't have the offense.

Its going to be tough for them to do much in SEC play unless their defense can force enough to create offense. I just don't think they have the shooters.

They scored 53 against Bama last night while Bama went for 56. Hard to win when you score in the 50's yet when both teams do someone has to win.

I really don't think the SEC is deep this year. So far, it looks like the top 3 at this juncture is clearly S.Carolina, LSU, and the Lady Vols in that order. All should be ranked in the near future. Other than that, who are the other teams that could be rated or compete for a decent seeding in the NCAA tourney? Arky just lost 3 straight and looked horrible last night. Perhaps Alabama or Ole Miss? What do you think?

LV, I think it’s early, but I agree our conference looks weak this season after the top three, let’s watch a few more weeks, but probably not one of the better seasons for the SEC overall. Top 3 should make noise in tourney though. And yeah, UT will be top 3 in conference, have no doubt about that. Jackson and Horston just starting to gel.

The SEC is going to have a bunch of teams that beat up on each other. This may be the year we don't even get 7 in. But i'm sure other conferences will have teams that beat up on each other too.

Youngstown St playing now so I’m hoping to watch a little of Emily Saunders to see how she’s progressing.

Give us an update! I still have FloSports until Sunday so taking advantage and watching St. John’s. Good looking team.

And yes I said I would not pay for FloSports this year. But yet again, just too many good teams. Couldn’t miss those games.

Good post positioning. Made both free throws. Her lack of foot speed is a hindrance because the Horizon League players are much shorter but quicker. She’s coming off the bench and they use her in spurts. She does box out. So far no real difference from her days here.

Watching Ohio State Michigan, Ohio State without Greene ACL and Sheldon out with a lower leg injury. The problem with Ohio State even with Greene and Sheldon they don`t rebound at all. I just don`t see them beating teams like ND, Stanford ,LSU, UConn,SC i just don`t see it. Michigan having they way with Ohio State on the boards.

If they turn teams over and hit 3s they can beat anyone. I think they’ll be a hot and cold team. Probably beat some teams they shouldn’t and lose to some they shouldn’t.

You are correct if they turn teams over they can beat anyone. But out of the teams i listed maybe ND and UConn they beat. Not SC, Stanford, LSU just to good on the boards.

Man Oklahoma can score! The score in bursts. It’ll be a 2 or 3 point game and then suddenly they are up 12.

See if they can maintain it. They tend to go cold and let teams back in as quickly as they go up.

WV just don`t have the players to beat or keep up with Oklahoma. Plus i just don`t see WV new coach getting any top HS recruits.

Tale off 2 quarters. I’ve watched OU play several times. They will do this almost every game. They are very streaky as a team and definitely go as their offense goes.

If their shots aren’t falling it tends to affect their defense and they let teams back in games. They were torching West Virginia and still managed to go into the half down 3. WV new coach is very good and will make defensive adjustments at the half.

Think OU will win but by fewer than 10

Ohio State wins 66 to 57. Their entire game is built about turning you over. They seldom win the boards but make it all up by winning the turnovers by a lot. In this game they ended up plus 12 in scoring possessions and that carried them to victory. A rebounding team that can take care of the ball will beat Ohio State. At least Michigan only allowed them 66 points even with all their additional possessions. Far better than the 87 we let them score sure wish we had a defense that played that well cause we have enough offense to win if we had that kind of defense.
