Texas-Tennessee tonight will be fascinating.

Both are Top 5 offenses in the nation, but they do it in completely different ways. Tennessee is #1 in the nation in 3-pointers attempted. Texas is #331.

No Sellers, no Bri McDaniel.

So impressive for Maryland to be walking the dog here.

We'll see what Cotie does..

As a non American, having a University of South Carolina (South Carolina) and a University of Southern Carolina (USC) is so very confusing.

Feagin has been so good since the Watkins injury. Although being on South Carolina, it doesn't show up in raw numbers.

Similar with Fulwiley. She has as much natural talent as Juju and Hannah. I don't know if it would be the best for her development, but if she was somewhere getting 35 minutes a game, she would be putting up eye-popping numbers.

LSU is so good, but it's starting to look like South Carolina's depth is going to be just too much.

South Carolina is just outrageous defensively.

Oh wow, now I feel like an idiot. For some reason I thought they were both Carolina. I apologise to the state of California.

Heels took a tough loss to Florida State, but man it was a great game.

FSU is pretty underrated, imo. Latson and TImpson are the top scoring duo in the country and nobody is talking about them. Both could be pretty good W players. Latson, in particular, it's like what more does she have to do to get some national attention. We're a good defensive team and threw everything at her. Still 25 and closed it out down the stretch.

A lot of talent on both teams. Not SC, UCLA, ND good, but both could make the Sweet 16 and give somebody a scare on the way to the Final Four.

Kim Caldwell had a baby last Monday. She will be back for the Tennessee-South Carolina game tonight. I've never had a baby, I don't know what that's like, but she sounds like a pretty tough woman.

Until further notice, it's hard to imagine anybody ( other than UCLA or maybe Notre Dame) making South Carolina sweat, but hopefully Tennessee can make a game of it.

What perfect timing for that game. First Sunday with no NFL. 1:30 on FOX with Juju coming to town.

Oklahoma-LSU was a banger.

Verhulst is going to have a place in the W. Her release is just lightning quick.

And I know Juju, Hidalgo, and Booker are the headliners of this sophomore class, but MIkaylah Williams is an absolute stud. WIth her size, strength, playmaking and shooting, I think she could end up being the best W prospect in this class after Juju.

And Aneesah. Wow

She's probably going to slide in this draft. And a couple years from now everybody's going to wonder why all the franchises that didn't take her were so stupid.

1st quarter and now, these Iowa fans clearly had USC shook. Impressive comeback for USC, but these Hawkeyes and their fans will not be denied today.

I don't know where she's going to get drafted, but Maria Gakdeng is going to have a role in the W.

what a game

iowa came roaring out of the gate, shocking 18-4 start
usc with a massive counter punch, i was pretty worried at half time
but great response by the hawks in the second half, lucy and o'grady were huge
we've had trouble closing out games this year but this one we pulled it off

huge for iowa's resume
