    OKC also does a great job - the city gets behind it and they draw crowds. It's similar to KC for the Big 12 tournament - someone else has to put up, or everyone needs to shut up and accept we have the best venue already for it.

    That call to steal home took guts. Damn. That’s super cool to see. Go Tech!

    No Cyclones, so back to cheering for the Mavs for me. Go UNO!

    Nice writeup about E

    Love that a big part of the article is about her defense. We need that almost more than anything else. I have a good feeling about her!

    WBB: Paulk commits to ISU

    My guess is the inconsistency doesn’t go away but I think Harris and AJ will get better with it. Usually there’s a small jump between sophomore and junior years as players settle in, so I think Tanke for sure still has another year to keep finding her role and shot, especially as a bench player.

    Being able to beat one of these two (likely AZ) would mean a lot for any hopes of tourney chances.

    WBB: Paulk commits to ISU

    I’m optimistic - the opposite usually stinks. We had some close calls this year on 50/50 games that went against us, win a few of them next year and things already look better. Win a few more by improving and getting better and it looks like a good season. We’ve made good additions this off...

    Good thing that those are just falling out of trees for free. News flash: nearly any team outside the top 10 is looking for something like this. They're in short supply. You are right that those types of players take a good team to a great team. There's a reason that they are hard to get. It...

    Thought the Big East would be a good fit for her. Wish her all the best and will have a reason to cheer for Villanova every now and then!

    This is objectively a hilarious post. Sounds like a salesman.

    Jackson is going to start. There's no use to act otherwise. She's the best defender we have, she isn't going to be coming off the bench.

    This is going to be the crux of trying to get another player. We need to pay the players we have that we need to keep & we brought in Jada, a pretty splashy commit on her own. We need a role player, not a starter, and those typically aren't exactly going to just shine on the page.

    Stanford is a cautionary tale for them. ACC move definitely made that worse, but UCONN could end up in a Stanford+ situation if they aren’t careful.

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

    But seems like a much better person. It doesn’t necessarily lead to anything but neither was Barnes, so at least AZ gets that. I think AZ didn’t have the money (university was already in a money crunch), and made the best hire with the cash they had on hand.
