Great question

Thanks for reminding us that slower, weaker, smaller and less athletic teams usually dominate the game of basketball.

He's not alone in that line of thought apparently.

I do think it's an interesting topic though. At what point does it become a fair matchup across the board? There are obviously multiple HS teams that would smash UConn women.

How would UConn women fare against the top 8th grade AAU team? Look at the top 8th graders in the country. After seeing this list, I don't think that UConn could even beat them.

No. 1 Jaedon LeDee, Point Guard, 6’5?, Houston, TX

No. 2 Marvin Bagley, Forward, 6’9?, Phoenix, AZ

No. 3 EJ Montgomery, Forward, 6’10”, Fort Pierce, FL

No. 4 Nazreon Reid, Center, 6’9?, Asbury, NJ

No. 5 Damon Harge, Point Guard, 5’9?, Orlando, FL

No. 6 LaDarius Marshall, Guard, 6’3?, Jackson, MS

No. 7 Will Dillard, Guard, 6’4?, Greensboro, NC

No. 8 Deshang William-Weaver, Center, 6’8?, Cypress, TX

No. 9 Chase Adams, Point Guard, 5’4? Chicago, IL

No. 10 Jalen Preston 6’2?, Guard, Pearland, Texas


I'd have to think the skill and experience of UConn would be a tremendous advantage but how are they going to rebound against these guys? I don't doubt that UConn could take some games but I wonder at what level vs males would they utterly dominate?
