Texas has been a top 25 (sometimes top 10) team with great athletes over the last decade. For the Wildcats to defeat the Longhorns in Austin by 25 points is stunning! Aari McDonald was unstoppable with 44 points...I expect UofA to enter the top 25 shortly as the Pac 12's fifth team. ASU dropped out of the rankings after getting dumped by 20 points at Minnesota.

It looks as if several conference teams are attempting to find themselves early in 2019...
GO BEARS!

Anyone who followed WCBB knew that Texas was vastly overrated by pollsters last season and especially this season. Pollsters are usually the last ones to get a clue. They also had ND rated #15 even though they not only lost their entire starting line up but also of the key leftover players to injury. Arizona, on the other hand, was vastly underrated and should have had the poll position that was taken by Arizona St.

Aari McDonald looked spectacular. Tons of lateral quickness and also a GREAT outside shooting performance. Looks like she could be unguardable this year. I'd love to see her against Texas A&M's Chennedy Carter, the "'it' scoring guard" in the country according to the WCBB pundits.

McDonald committed relatively early (to UW) but I still think she was probably slept on by Gottlieb who was going all or nothing for Ionescu at the time, as well as other Pac-12 coaches. she may have been one of those kids who did not play EYBL AAU, iirc.

I wonder how we will try to defend McDonald this year. Can anyone defend McDonald?

A healthy Clayton would be nice. We play them in March so there is time. Seems like McIntosh is pretty quick and may do ok. Glad we play Arizona and ASU only once.

Thank you. My favorite player too.

The problem is people are remembering her from two years ago. After two know operations she may not be that same player. Bring back Eliza Pierre.

Leilani McIntosh just might be Eliza Pierre with a shot.
