Sadly, I think this year is UConn's to lose. Their starting 5 has no real weaknesses, and they have enough depth on the bench to not have a drop off. I didn't think Bueckers would come flying out of the gates like she has. As impressive as Clark, Van Lith and Paopao have been...Bueckers has had no problems showing why she was the #1 recruit.

UConn was missing two freshman, one that is their only other size to back up Nelson-Ododa. Both were in boots with foot injuries.

Baylor’s perimeter isn’t as strong but i think that game will be better than expected. There forwards and post should go to work and i’m thinking Didi will be a difference maker. If Carrington gets going it could make it all the more interesting

I picked Baylor to win at the start of the season, but after seeing them a few times, I just think their backcourt is a big downgrade from last year and as good as Egbo is...she's no Cox. I hope I'm wrong, but I think that UConn will roll. Maybe Andrews picks up her production by then, but if they don't have guards that have to be defended tightly, I can see Smith struggling to find room to work.

Ok... SO AGAIN you don’t know what she was or wasn’t allowed to do.

You don’t know what this young lady had available to her so check your privilege at the door... PERIOD!

I’ve been respectful of you thus far ... let’s keep the respect going. Please....

You seem to know.

Several posters noted she looked like she had gained weight. And others explained it by stating she was not able to come to Knoxville for a while.

You didn’t seem to have an issue with them seeming to know that she couldn’t exercise.

But I’m done with this. You seem really upset. My privilege....lol.

I'm going to predict that UConn whoops up on Baylor/Depaul, and the SC game will be a close "pick 'em" situation.

SC looks significantly weaker this season, won't be at home, and in spite of their last meeting Geno has Dawn's number. I would be surprised if it's a single digit game...

Baylor is really missing Juicy (what a great name, and Cox. Yes, they are missing Juicy Cox.

Ok....sorry....couldn’t resist.

What's wrong with Edwards? I take back my prediction if she's not healthy for the Baylor game.

Haven't been impressed with Muhl thus far. Granted, it's been two games...but 1 assist to 7 turnovers vs. two cupcakes won't build your legend. It cracks me up that people on the BY were saying they'd rather have her than Van Lith.

Muhl had been playing with a foot injury the first two games and they put it in a boot. No ETA on return.

Edwards sprained her ankle. I don’t think it’s a bad sprain. A week before the next game and two weeks before Baylor.

I think that SC has the pieces on this team to be really good, and the frontcourt talent to overwhelm UConn's. It's one of those games where I think it could be a double digit win by either team. In all likelihood, it will be UConn's toughest test until the NCAAT so if they roll, it's not a good sign for the rest of the field.

Sorry, but time I think you overreacted to my post. I don’t get it.

These kids have an obligation to find a way to stay in shape. I saw several videos 9f Lady Vol players work8ng out on their own this summer. I don’t see how says she could have honored her team by not gaining weight.

You disagreed, fine. But why get so mad about it.

Ok, now I’m really done. Truce?

I think Juicy's name was Calveona (sp?). I'm not sure I want to know the story for why she goes by Juicy...

But yeah...missing her and more importantly Te'a Cooper. Both were perimeter weapons you couldn't leave open, and I don't see that offensive firepower in the starting backcourt. Maybe if DiDi completely takes Paige out of her game and ONO gets in foul trouble before Queen does, but I don't know if both scenarios happen.
