The University of Providence Argonauts.

I had to look it up thinking it's "Providence Friars dummy"! I apologize.

You mean that Great Falls, Montana isn’t the first place you think of when someone says they’re a Providence fan?



I am shocked. SHOCKED!

Xenophobia is unbecoming in this thread.

Never even knew that Lucy Lawless played basketball.

Watching Clemson and Pitt. Clemson looks great so far, even without their best player. They play the Amanda Butler way. Really tough defense, lots of quick shots in transition, but they’re hitting most of them tonight. They’re gonna be a tough team in the ACC this season. Probably up and down a bit, but they could beat any team in the league on any given night. Especially if they get Washington back.

Pitt looks awful no talent on that team, Note Clemson better win this game because i don`t see them winning there next 4 games.

Interesting. I see them beating at least two of those teams. ND and Florida State. The other two will be close IMO. The way they hustle and play defense is huge. They get all the 50/50 balls.

Vol are you with me ! ND have most of there players back now and FSU is a better team then Clemson.

thought I'd tell you before anyone else does

Even with most of their players back they look shaky to me. I think they’re headed for about the same record as last season unless they start clicking together a little.

FSU is a better team. I think Clemson plays better D though. Butler is also very familiar with Florida State after coaching in that rival game for years.

Watching a replay of the UCONN game and watching Westbrook play for them is simply the worst. I’m used to cheering for her but it’s UCONN.

Clemson just folded like i thought they would just not that good of a team as is Pitt.

You right lol

Clemson hasn't played anyone yet, they aren't very good. That 4th Quarter was embarrassingly bad for Clemson. No set plays, missed layups, 1 on 1 selfish play, with numerous turnovers. Pitt's best player fouled out early in the 4th and Clemson didn't take advantage.

Sorry, didn't watch.

Actually...not sorry.

Upset Alert: Boston College leads #4 NC St 47-32 with 6:11 in the 3Q.

Fire Moore!

And while we're at it, fire Staley!

Looking like NC ST going to hang on for the comeback win.

Yeah, big 4th quarter comeback for NC St. I see that Notre Dame got beat badly by Georgia Tech.
ND is now an average team in the ACC.

Noticed that Massengill did not play in Kentucky’s blowout win. Maybe her eligibility does not start immediately.

ND freshman Westbeld had a monster game in the loss to Georgia Tech. Noticed Brunelle did not start for ND today.

That blanket waiver vote doesn't happen until this Wednesday the 16th so she's still ineligible at least until then

watching Bueckers highlights reminds me very much of the two games I watched Karly Weathers play in Atlanta this summer

Annie Hayes had 28 points, 14 boards and 8 assists for Middle Tennessee against TCU today. They lost 77-84 but that’s a pretty tough performance against a decent, well coached, team.

I don't know if she's happy being on a crappy team, but she's the centerpiece and can average her 27 points on low-40s% FG...or if she would actually prefer to be on a somewhat decent team.
