Post was tongue in cheek. Except, we will be the champs! I have that much confidence.historian said:
We do have wins over 2 ranked teams--including a road win over #6 UConn (Indiana is the other). Maybe at least one of the other Big 12 teams will be ranked by the end of the month.
I'm glad you have that confidence. However, personally I think Oregon is easily the best team in WBB. Never watched a full game with them, but did so vs UCONN and wow...Ionescu is the total package which I knew, but I did not know how good their supporting caste is. They are big, move well without the ball, and can fire 3's at will.CHP Bear said:Post was tongue in cheek. Except, we will be the champs! I have that much confidence.historian said:

Valid points. I should have ended my post with ...however, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results."wuzzybear said:I'm glad you have that confidence.

The PAC 12 is pretty loaded in WBB this year. So they will be battle tested. Would love to play them if they are the best in a FF and let it fly !!!
Tell that to the two teams that have already beaten them this year...wuzzybear said:I'm glad you have that confidence. However, personally I think Oregon is easily the best team in WBB.

So you hold to the theory that good losses are better than bad wins?historian said:
Oregon's advantage over Baylor is that the Pac 12 has multiple legitimately good/great teams while the Big 12 is dominated by Baylor with no others likely to deny us the conference title. They will be more tested by the time they get to the tournament, even if they lose 1-2 games along the way. Other than South Carolina & UConn, we haven't really been tested much & probably won't be until March.
I find the these responses very interesting when you view them together. Following the second response could I guess support the first one.Quote:

I just wish we had more competitive opponents and games in the Big12.
If MBB is the best in the country should I tell that to the Washington Huskies? Point is that I'm talking right here and now. UCONN is a pretty good barometer for any WBB team. I watched BU and Oregon both and granted Cox was just getting back into bball shape, but in my opinion, Oregon dominated them much more than we did. That's all. The eye test tells me they will be a FF team FOR SURE. For us I am very impressed by Didi's play this year. Her goofy midrange shot is a magic trick. With that shooting motion I have no idea how she scores so many 12' jumpers. She's really good at both assists and that shot and teams tend to lay off her around the perimeter. Her shot is hard to block too bc she almost puts the ball high and to the back of her head extending which is really hard to block.Eball said:Tell that to the two teams that have already beaten them this year...wuzzybear said:I'm glad you have that confidence.
