MUCH faster
Yes

MUCH better rebounders.
Meh, girls are just as good at getting position as boys, and these college girls are just as big as most high schoolers and have been playing longer. I actually give the girls the advantage
quote:
MUCH better defenders.
I disagree again, obviously when you factor in the already mentioned speed the boys can certainly move quicker on D, but girls can play defense just as well as boys other than speed
quote:
free throws the girls could be better.
I guess it would depend on the ball they use
quote:
the girls would not be able to advance the ball against a press in time to beat the clock,
This is just flat wrong, they do make less crisp passes and are slower to the ball, but beating a press is a lot about spacing and decision making. I bet the elite 8 girls would shred most high school presses.
quote:
and they would not get any rebounds except for long bounces and the odd carom.
I don't know why you think this, but it's wrong.
The boys would win though, on speed of game alone

whoa. whoa.

speed and quickness
and that's like saying the sprinter was just as good as the other, other than speed

I'll tell you this... in high school we scrimmaged the girls team. Both us and the girls team won district and went to the playoffs. We won state. They had players play in college, and so did we.
Here's what happened in the scrimmage.
We won 80-something to 0. And we only played for maybe a half of basketball, if that. I don't remember, but it wasn't close to a full game.
We pressed the entire time and they only made it past half-court maybe 7 or 8 times. They only got 2 shots off the entire time we played. One was blocked, and one was just a desperate heave of the ball that was taken because she was flustered by the pressure defense.
It was literally steal after steal after steal.
They could not compete with the sheer athletic advantage we had over them.
We would swallow them up in traps and rip the ball away from them.
They even had a ton of trouble getting enough space to even get the ball inbounded.
