You don't hang banners for beating UCONN. You don't get listed as a champion for beating UConn. Winning a championship is much more important and long standing than ending a streak. Winning a championship would be much more valuable for long term success than beating uconn.

Every men's bball team in division one would kill UConn. It's apples and oranges.

Eventually sombody will beat UConn. Nobody goes undefeated forever. It might as well be us.

We would literally just pass it to Herard every possession and have him dunk it in. The only way they could hang is Katie Lou hit 40 3s or something.

Did you watch Herard try to dunk this season? That would never work.

Full court press
No stupid fouls
protect the ball
good shot selection
hit threes
stay up after mistakes (one play at a time)

UCONN women would beat our men's team in horse all day, everyday. That's without question. The women would probably steal passes and run back layups like north M
Katie Lou is 43.7 3 pt percentage

Are they using the men's size ball or women's? That would make a huge difference either way.

State women have to protect ball and prevent turnovers and cover everybody and watch the circling to the top of the key bc it's always wide open.
Which that shot is always open in every game I watch.

They said the same thing about softball when Monica Abbot struck out major league hitters...easily
But the hitters were like...yeah she's tough
For those who don't keep, a few softball players married to major league guys and it's known they can pitch...you know what I'm saying

It's not a question that any men's D1 (or probably D2 or D3) basketball team would beat even UConn.

Fortunately, in this scenario we have the opportunity to do both.

Ok? That's still not the same thing as basketball. Speed, length, jumping, shooting, body control...
Bit different than pitching

Just like it isn't a question that even the lowly Cleveland Browns could beat any college football team.. Can't be compared. The athletes are at a different level.

Gosh y'all need these *** on every post. I would think there would be times when the sarcasm speaks for itself.
Death penalty or bust!!!***

Now I'm not saying in basketball the best girls could beat the best guys, I understand that. But the best girls can beat a lot of men. I'm not a boot wearing feminist type.

Haha, no they couldn't. Our men's team would pretty much name the score against Uconn.

Our Men's team will be in Dallas this weekend to ROOT for our WOMEN (not girls)?? That would be great but I haven't heard anything about that.

I am a boot wearing feminist type, but that doesn't stop me from concluding that UConn would lose to every D1 men's basketball team. Only 7 women's players have ever dunked in the history of NCAA basketball (and none of them are on UConn's team right now). There's more than 7 dunkers on most men's basketball teams.
Yeah, UConn could force some turnovers, and the men's team could just play like uninspired shit, but I see no reason why they couldn't get the dunk in on 75% of their possessions. That's 1.5 PPP - way more than any basketball team of any gender averages.
It's not important though - it doesn't take away from what UConn has accomplished, or what we've accomplished, or what we will accomplish if we win Friday, just like it doesn't take anything away from Alabama that the Browns would roll them by 30 points or more.

Years ago, they had a game between all star college players and a pro team. It kicked off the season.
