Depends on the height of the players on each roster. Size matters more in basketball than in any other sport.

Every top 28 boys team would beat every team in women's CBB.

The boys team names the score

UConn beats all of the top 28 in my opinion.

Women's college teams typically recruit guys from the student body to scrimmage against in practice. I'd say a good, or even above average, HS team would probably beat an elite women's team most of the time, barring the women's team having a couple of once in a lifetime players.

Coming from someone who coaches girls, the guys would win.
Not because of size, or strength, skill, or athleticism, but from sheer speed of game difference.
Boys throw passes much quicker than girls, leading to moving the bll much faster. Boys fast twitch muscles are quicker than girls, leading to getting off shots quicker and closing down a shooter quicker, and reacting to passes quicker
This is the real differences boys and girls bball, even in college you see girls throw these passes all the time that any decent high school boy would pick off with ease. The girls, even the elite ones, make those passes because 90% of the people they play against cant react, move, and engage quick enough to stop it, but boys can

High school boy champs.
MUCH faster, MUCH better rebounders.
MUCH better defenders.
free throws the girls could be better.
There might be a boys champ with no good 3 point shooters on it.
the girls would not be able to advance the ball against a press in time to beat the clock, and they would not get any rebounds except for long bounces and the odd carom.
testosterone and speed.
I watch both. The skill level is not even close except for UConn and in that case, the best outside shooter is big and slow. I doubt she could get a shot off or even get the ball if the defender was dedicated to preventing her from touching it.

I think any male middle school team that isn't fricking garbage can beat a woman's elite 8. Why is this being discussed for the 10,000th time?
Posted on 3/29/15 at 10:40 pm to Geaux23
A top 28 team would steamroll any of those girls squads. Can't believe people think otherwise

The HS boys for any 4A/5A school would embarrass them. The lower divisions would win as well without much of a problem.
Friend of mine's sister was a starting point guard for a D-1 mid-major. I was a 2A player in Louisiana who was average at best and not even close to a college level talent. We played 1v1 to 25, and I beat her 25-4. I am aggressively mediocre at basketball and she was a D-1 talent, and the athletic difference made the game a joke in my favor.
I realize the example is completely anecdotal and not an apples to apples comparison, but the athletic disparity is absurd.

Assuming we're talking about a good boys HS team, they could basically name the score. I never used to think that, until I got some insight into this exact scenario.
Several years back when I was still at UGA, we had a pretty good women's team at the time. They were ranked probably around 15ish, so while not elite they were definitely a "pretty good" womens team. Good buddy of mine was the 6th man on our HS bball team. About a 6'0 white guy who mostly assisted and played ok defense. Granted our HS team was really good, but the point is this guy was a moderately good HS player with zero chance of playing anywhere in college. Coach Landers ended up getting a group of guys like my friend together to scrimmage the womens team a few times a week. They were all like my buddy, former HS bball players that were moderately good that just ended up going to UGA but would still play ball at the rec center for fun. He said that they used to flat out dominate the womens team. The difference in the speed, skill, agility, size, etc was just night and day. And this was just a rag tag collection of former players.
I have no doubt that a good, high classification HS boys team could run circles around the elite 8 womens teams.

why do we have to see threads like this every year?

Top boys team would crush any college women's team.
I think you'd have to go down to top level 8th grade boys before it's a fair fight, and the women likely still lose.

I posted this in the other thread but I'm pretty sure I can field a team of players down at the Y that could drub UCONN.
Posted on 3/30/15 at 2:11 pm to Geaux23
Fair Park team with Stromile Swift and Reggie Robinson would wipe the floor with the best college girl's team ever.
Posted on 3/30/15 at 3:46 pm to Geaux23
Riverside, U-High, Madison Prep, Scotlandville, & Nach. Central would embarrass UConn and anyone else who the'd play.
