Do you think that teams that win close games against unranked teams should be punished in the rankings? I don't think voters really look at that.

That's too far down the rabbit hole. They probably briefly review the scores and vote. I would guess 70% actually place any real value on the scores or advanced stats updates.

I'm surprised Rennia is projected to go so low. I'm assuming Collier stays in college so maybe she goes up, but I thought she'd be top 3 for sure.

Overall, outside of the top 10 (and even including some in the top 10), this is an abysmally weak draft. Probably the weakest I've ever seen.

I agree weak draft which is why i said if Evina wanted to go it should probably be this year. If Westbrook stays it won’t be to increase her draft prospect.

 

[chuckiepoo]

If she could've recruited better she would still be at Florida and a dominant factor in the SEC. Excellent coach never had enough talent to get it done in the talent laden SEC.

Angry Cleavage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see her staying to chase a NCAA title. She strikes me as a player that would get drafted, but may not survive training camp.

Was OSU supposed to be this good? Leading MD 75-69 deep in the 4th quarter.

She can add to the crop of successful recent RU grads in the WNBA. Copper and Laney were great last season.

Laney was good but i’m not going to lie when I say I think Hines-Allen should have been MIP. Look at her stats and look at who she DIDNT have to get her team to the playoffs. Just a sore spot

But we don’t know how good RU player might be against some of the better competition she might have seen later in the year because they don’t seem to be able to get COVID under control on their team

Now i wonder if their season would be cancelled with all the missed games...

Yes i could see her chasing a title too. Her role will be diminished next year with Fudd coming in.

Damn, UGA beats Ark on a buzzer beater!

Who would have thought Ark would be with a losing SEC record?

I still don’t want to meet that team later down the road

Tough night for Mimi. Georgia pulls it out in the end

 

[VolBall09]

Tough one for Arkansas. Really wanted them to get that one.

I still think Tennessee would need to play poorly to lose to Ark...unless Holly clubs Kellie in the knee or something.

They battled tonight. That stretch run though..

 

[Vols2015]

How is Arkansas still ranked? They’ve lost 6 games, 5 in conference play alone. Not top 25 worthy. Although, I am hoping their offense is what is going to take out UCONN:

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

I am Dream Fan and I think Betnijah Laney deserved that MIP

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

we could have been 4-0 in the SEC if we had beat those damn bulldogs...we need to blow them out in Athens

Haha did you change my name ? NICE!!

Nancy Kerrigan security watch......!

Mimi Collins for Maryland not looking that good.

I doubt they are ranked after UConn slaughters them on Thursday.

Well I am a mystics fan and missing all the pieces we were and for her to show out and get her team to the playoffs...

But i could see why she did get it. We will just file that away this coming season with all the pieces back

0 pts 0 rbds. Not on the court at the end. Did she play most of the game?

...transitive properties grow weak...

Hines Allen was on one of the All WNBA teams I think. Did Laney get on there too?

I saw her play very seldom. When she was in, she air balled shots, threw passes away, or travelled. I think when you transfer, sometimes it makes you worse than you were before.
