The 3rd quarter of Notre Dame-Duke was by far the most entertaining thing I have seen this season. And they are undoubtedly the most entertaining team. When Westbeld came back, Ivory Latta said every Notre Dame game should be a must-see TV show, and she was absolutely right.
USC pretty entertaining too but I agree this team with the starting five they have may be the team to beat come Tournament time. I was a little surprised how well Duke played against them in the first half. their defense can be tough to deal with and they didnt look intimidated at all. turned them over a lot and made them look sluggish. but the Irish took it to another level in the second half, mostly with tough defense of their own. Duke couldnt even get a shot off half the time. they were completely overwhelmed. Hidalgo is an absolute menace on defense. its like she exists in a higher speed dimension than anybody else. ive seen her come from behind on a player who was running full speed down the court, run a circle around her and just take the ball from her like shes frozen in place. when you witness things like that, its not hard to see how she averages north of 4 steals a game...
We know Caitlin Clark is a “truly generational” talent, but no one is paying $41,407 to see her Fever play the Brazilian National Team in a WNBA exhibition at Carver-Hawkeye Arena this May. Right? But you could buy one right...
easily. as much as I love Aaliyah Edwards, this wave of kids is on a different level. Swords is going to be averaging 25/8/5 as a senior. And Im not sure why Fournier isnt starting by now. Her productivity level is insane. averages more points than minutes in a lot of games. and of course when she finally throws down a dunk in a game shes going to break the internet

In other words, running full speed is equal to frozen in place. And I thought I was lacking in top-end speed.

yeah, Hannah Hidalgo is that guy who could run 5Ks as fast as you but could also run a 21.5 200. thats as close of an analogy that I could come up with and it probably still doesnt do her justice. that being said, props to Duke for knocking them out of the ACC Tournament the other day.
U.S. — Collective bargaining agreements for the WNBA took an unexpected turn as players demanded to be paid what they are actually worth and now owe the NBA $400 million.
"personally no. its slow, they don't dunk, they rush bad shots, and every 3 pointer looks like a half court heave. its like watching JV boys basketball."
Exactly, along with extremely sloppy and very poor ball handling. but they dont call it that, they call it "great defense". Anyone with ANY basketball IQ can sit and watch the game and see it isnt great defense, its very poor ball skills that are leading to bad shots and a million turnovers.
