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

Syracuse with a nice win over Notre Dame today. That loss isn’t looking bad and should help NET ratings considering only a 12 point loss.
Random Big 12 stat. Sedona Prince is averaging 21.3 points and 10.6 rebounds for TCU. Arizona transfer Madison Conner of TCU is leading the Big 12 in scoring at 22.4 and shooting 43% from three. She averaged 5.8 at Arizona. That's some HUGE transfer impacts for TCU.
They play @ Baylor on Wednesday so I guess we'll find out.
Going to be tough to not let Baylor wear them down. TCU only plays six players and Baylor routinely goes 9 and 10 deep.
My head was trying to wrap itself around Nebraska beating Maryland. How far the Terps have fallen this year. Haven’t dug into why. Nebraska has losses to TCU and KU. I’m still not impressed with TCU, but KU? Outside of a couple of teams has the Big Ten fallen that much? Even Minnesota's best win is likely against Drake. Michigan's only quality win is against Ohio State who may be a poser as well. Interesting stuff.
I watched the game. Nebraska looked pretty good. It's a good win for them as Maryland has owned them for years. Their freshman forward Natalie Potts had 13 rebounds, 7 being offensive to go with 17 points. She was the difference in the game along with Makowskis who had a double-double of 20/10. They are one of the Big Ten teams that I sort of keep track off along with my local Gophers.
I get the Huskers loss to TCU in one of the turkey tournaments more than the clunker at Kansas as I'd attribute part of the TCU win to Sedona Prince for holding Markoski to 5-16 shooting.
Maryland will be hanging around the midwest to play at Minnesota Wednesday night. Half tempted to pop over for the game.

My opinion only, I don't think the Big Ten is all that strong this year. I feel like Indiana and Ohio State are good teams, but neither team jumps off the page right now. I see Iowa winning the regular season title.
Two or three games coming up I'd be interested in watching
And, of course, two of those are the same time slot as ISU/Kansas. Maybe replay for those.
- Michigan State at #4 Iowa Tuesday 7 pm Peacock

Well, New Year Day and I didn't think new polls would come out but they did. Not much change, Baylor and Texas essentially exchanged poll spots.
#6 Baylor moved up
#10 Texas moved down.
#11 Kansas State stayed put
#23 TCU
#24 West Virginia
Nobody in the others receiving votes.

Grambling beat someone called Biblical Studies 159-18. In fairness, it appears to be Biblical Studies’ first game of the season.
Is that literally "Biblical Proportions"? Yeah, I'd say so.
I just scrolled through today's wbb scores and saw Grambling played some school called College of Biblical Studies Ambassadors. Grambling won 159-18. It was 82-10 at halftime. Some stats: Grambling out-rebounded them 61-20; out-assisted them 31-3; out-stole them 39-1; and forced 57 turnovers versus only 5 of their own. Grambling had eight players score in double digits and the team took 119 shots (making 70). Why on earth was this team even on their schedule!?

They play their home games at a church.
Iowa with the home cookin....refs gave Iowa what, 5 questionable free throws in the last 4 minutes. Clark asking for fouls everything down the court. It gets really old. She can ball but the constant ref complaining kills it for me.
