WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

Extending this to NJCAA...Southwestern (in Creston) pulled the plug on its season:


"Due to injuries and other unforeseen circumstances, Southwestern Community College made the decision to suspend all remaining games for the 2022-23 women's basketball season. The team, with an overall record of 1-4, had been competing with a depleted roster since the beginning of the season and, at times, had to compete with just four players on the floor. The remaining games will be listed as "No Contest."

According to Kim Bishop, Southwestern athletic director, first-year Head Coach Darien Wingate will focus his efforts for the remainder of the 2022-23 academic year on recruitment for the team's 2023-24 season."

Speaking of a depleted roster, Rutgers only has 8 players.

And if UConn loses any games they will not be held against them at tournament selection time as they would not have lost with her.
If anyone on the planet that should be able to overcome injuries it is Geno. Just plug in another ***** star recruit and move on.

"The NCAA has said it will consider unbundling the package of rights, which could include breaking out the women’s basketball championship and selling it on its own. It is thought, sources said, that the rights for the women’s basketball tournament will generate more annual revenue than the entire package of championships.

The other NCAA championships include volleyball, FCS football, ice hockey, soccer, baseball, softball and track and field, among others. The package includes about 20 D-I championships and another 10 championships from other divisions.

....If the women’s basketball tournament is unbundled from the package of rights and sold on its own, industry insiders expect that the championship itself could fetch more than the $40 million the NCAA gets for the entire package now.

If the NCAA unbundles those rights, it will have to decide how far to go with it. Does the governing body unbundle women’s basketball only, or will it unbundle, for example, baseball and softball or other championships?"
 
Saw this highlight block from Soares Brazilian teammate. She is the center on the Brazil Team with Soares being a C/F.

And no idea why Twitter is flagging this as "potentially sensitive material". Maybe the feelings of that gal getting blocked were hurt? The only thing touched is the ball.

Saturday Big 12, future opponents, Iowa schools:

  • 9-1 Kansas State (#24) plays South Dakota State in Kansas city (No TV, where ESPN+?)
  • Drake is at #18 Creighton (FloHoops = Not TV, Boo!)
  • St. Joes at #25 Villanova (******* Flohoops, so no preview of our game next week)
  • Minnesota at #16 Iowa (quick turnaround for Iowa versus the Gopher freshman). 8 p.m. BTN main channel, going to tune in to see the kid Gophers, especially Mara Braun.
Last night Kansas thumped #12 Arizona in Tucson 77-50! That's going to bump them into the Top 25. Would be six teams in for Big 12 if Texas wasn't starting the season like crap.

Starting to make the Sisters look like a mid to second tier team in the conference to date

Conference my be better than I thought it would be. I think we should still be the favorite unless Texas pulls it's head out of it's ass. Knowing our luck Texas will jell as team about Big 12 time.

Kansas State is surprising good (so far) considering they don't have Lee. They play defense. Kansas is a surprise period, at least to me. I thought league would be ISU/Texas with Baylor and Sooners a step behind than another tier of the Kansas schools and than the "rest" in a bottom tier you should go 8-0 against.

I agree…if the sisters fix what ails them. If they keep having these soon half meltdowns in critical games…it will be interesting.

Some big 12 teams have played some cupcake non-con's (Tech really stands out in this regard, KU too until this game with Arizona) so hard to judge what the conference will look like.

that seems to be what Tech does year in and year out. Start the conf season with a lofty record and then fall on their faces. KU's win against U of A was def an eye opener. They looked like a young and coming team last year (as did KSU) so I expect them to be tough for some schools to match up with.
 
SO WHO HAS THE BEST TEAM IN THE BIG 12??

The authorities thought TX had a super team in the making and they may still be as time goes on. But they have melted 4 times already against the 4 good teams they faced. And as everyone on this board is well aware of, ISU was also touted highly with good ranking and expectations. But against the two decent competitors (NC & IU) they looked rather bad especially in the second half collapses. OU was ranked and great things were being said and then they met their first team with a pulse, number 25 Utah and lost by 47 !!! Baylor has faced three lower ranked teams yet very decent teams and came out with 2 losses. So actually at this moment KU is currently looking the best with that good spanking they gave AZ on their home court. And they are the only undefeated team at this time. Therefore I predict that a whole lot of cannibalism is gonna be going on here come conference time. Winning on the road will be very important this year. This was why BU dominated for so long. Kim was able to go on the road again and again and bring a win home, So circle the road games. That's probably where the trophy will be won,

Couldn’t agree more. A win on the road is worth 1.5 wins at home.

The only thing I took note of for Kansas is that their 6'-6" JC transfer Taiyanna Jackson is averaging a double-double. She was All-Big 12 defense last year and maybe has taken another step up in her game?
 
Now that Nebraska is out of the NCAA volleyball tourney I am interested in seeing how Maggie Mendelson does for the Husker's woman's basketball team. One of the deals in her recruiting is that she wanted to play BOTH sports. Going to be tough for her to transition as a freshman without having practiced much with the team. She was practicing once a week with the hoops team, at least earlier this semester. Also interesting is she is quite young, turned 17 last spring, reclassified and graduated early to be in class of 2022.

"She was the No. 2 recruit in the 2023 class, according to Prep Volleyball, before reclassifying to join the Huskers in 2022. She was also the No. 32 basketball recruit in the nation according to ESPN in 2022." - Huskers bio
