wow some height to this class not bad.

Since there aren’t many women’s basketball threads… I’m going to ask this here:
Has anyone seen or heard why we’re struggling?

because amanda left us with a BEASTLY schedule to start out the season. that is what i’m going to assume. all the teams we’ve played so far have historically had good programs.

Unfortunate. Seems like we're killing our at-large chances. Hopefully we can win the a10.

Competition is good. Karen said Penn State was better than Pitt. Strong first halves in each game by the 49ers.

ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll - #26, Penn State #31, Arizona #33T
Associated Press Poll - Pittsburgh #26, Penn State #29

Also upcoming opponent (Saturday) Old Dominion is #50 in the Coaches Poll and #35 in the AP Poll.

I wouldn’t go that far, women’s RPIs seem to reward tough scheduling a bit more than the men’s have. If you want to have a chance in the tournament, you’ve got to face the competition beforehand.
