Sorry, bro. A decent high school boys team would destroy UConn ladies.

It's not just athletic ability, but size.

6-5 is big for a girl. Boys have 6-5 guards.

I'll take a 5A State Champ over most women's college teams...any day...and the boys would win 3 out of 5

I really don't know the answer to this, but it does draw a unique crowd. With that said, I watched the end of the 4th quarter and OT of the UCONN vs MSU game last night and that was one hell of a game.

My ex s/o was highly recruited coming out of HS. She was better than the overwhelming number of HS boys. She used to love taking dudes money over a basketball game

Because the game the women play below the rim is reminiscent of all basketball before the dunk took over 
Passing and ball handling skills were more important. 
Us old folks like that game better ?





Lots of truth here

Post game is strong lots of my below rim play elements I recognize

Yeah, I'd say a solid AAU team would destroy the UCONN girls.

Lol. The 5A state champs would beat UCONN 1000/1000 times and the games would be blow outs

Solid aau teams would have one future pro even if just spain, one or two other d1 starters and a few guys in terrific shape who catch on in lower division teams..

The speed and agility is not close. The leaping not even close. There are one or two women a decade who can play even up vs top high school defenders.

The games yesterday were 1000 times more entertaining than any lsu mens game this year
thast just because LSU had a very shitty team. Compare those women's games to the men's final four and get back to this thread
