Anyone that thinks a college women's team would beat a men's team is a clown.

Yes. Easily too.

UConn women would destroy most high school boys teams. Back in the mid 2000s I was involved with the women's basketball program, and during those times LSU (and Tennessee's) women's programs regularly scrimmaged against the men and came pretty close (within 20 a couple times with 10 minute quarters).
I know you could say that the boys werent playing full strength, and they didn't until Siemone Augustus showed up. The first scrimmage she was a part of, she embarrassed several Tiger men, and the women only lost by 11 or 12 or something like that. From then on, it was balls to the wall (get it?) and the women never got that close again, but the average win by the boys (starters) hovered around 25-30 points for a 40-minute game.

nah, they're too slow, too small, can't jump, and can't get the shot off quick enough, you may have witnessed scrimmages where the girls were playing their "Super Bowl" game and the guys were like, whatever, or trying not to hurt them, I've played pick up games with some good college players and some ex NBA players and had a few good games, coming away feeling a little smug, but afterwards realized that I was playing my arse off and they were basically just out there goofing off, kind of telling that the big news in women's NCAA basketball a couple of years ago was that there was "a" dunk, one dunk, in the entire season

No wait,
You realize women's college teams train against basically rec level men, right? And the rec level men are better than them.
ETA: Didn't even get to that you were supposedly involved, and you still think that?

More like Brandon Bass, Regis Koundjia, Antonio Hudson. But yes. Seen with my own eyes several times.
And everyone in this thread is overrating the capabilities of the average HS basketball team.

Let me be clear, our men's team would kill UConn by 40 points or more.
But I'd say that less than 2% of boys HS teams could hang close.

Probably. Got to bring balance to the force.

Dude just stop. Most wouldn't destroy them, but you're way off your rocker with that quote above.Posted on 1/12/17 at 12:31 pm to MemberSince2003

It would go to OT

They wouldn't beat any high school playoff basketball team in Louisiana. My 3A high school team of a bunch of white guys that barely made the playoffs would beat the crap out of them. They'd be lucky to score 20 points against us.

no they weren't always playing hard like they would against men.
Define embarrassed? Did she make a shot over them, b/c I know she didn't blow by anyone with some nice dribbling move. I played against her many times at the Rec. She was a great spot up shooter, and that's all she could do at the rec. She is one of the few women on the planet that shoots like a man releasing the ball up high instead of pushing it from her chest like 99% of women do, but even that doesn't help her that much against a guy that knows she isn't getting by him so he can challenge every shot she takes, and likely block a few of them since she can't jump.

That's essentially what I would say.

I bet they could at least keep it close.
when people ask dumb questions like this, I refer them to the tale of Karsten Braasch.
quote:
Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open[32] between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams, aged 17 and 16 respectively, had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager".[33][34] The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park,[35] after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two beers. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.[36] Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun".[37] Braasch said the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier, and that men put spin on the ball that the women can't handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.

Jesus this is dumb
The discussion about women competing with men or that a HS team wouldn't crush UConn?
Posted on 1/12/17 at 12:46 pm to tigerfan63
Love when people make these comparisons. The worst D1 men's team would destroy UConn's women's team.
