There's a huge difference between your high school's girls Bball team and an elite 8 college team. I don't think the girls would win, but the pressure D wouldn't be the reason

I know there is. But I'm saying there was a girl on that team who went on to play at a powerhouse program. She couldn't do anything either.

I'm not saying a high school team would dominate a women's elite 8 team 80-something to zero. I'm just showing you that the difference between men and women in a sport like basketball is huge.

People just don't realize the difference in speed, ' strength & size that even High School boys have over women.

I was reading this article about the history of Men V. Women in tennis & its very telling:

The best was German Karsten Braasch(never won a tour event) ranked 203rd in the world & best none for smoking cigarettes during changeover(he caused the no smoking on court rule).

Braasch beat both Serena & Venus (16 & 17) on the same day. Beat Serena smoked a cigarette & then beat Venus.

Chris Evert says in her autobiography that at her peak her low level college playing brother dominated her.

Absurd that anyone would think otherwise.

I doubt the UConn women claim they could beat a good boys High School team.
