Could the UConn women

  • LJ
    Beat a men's D-III team?
  • killer_ewok
    No way.
  • Hb31187
    No
  • CinciX12
    I think they could. Maybe like Ohio State Lima or something?
  • Cleveland Buck
    Not a chance.
  • Lovejoy1984
    Nope. They'd get ran off the floor.

    The size disparity is just to big to overcome.

    How big is Tina Charles 6'4" Tops?

    A lot of D3 schools have post players close to 7 feet. She'd stand no chance, they'd just back her down, turn around and have an un contested layup.

    The only player for UCONN that plays anything like a guy is Moore.

    They would get killed on the boards and in the paint.

    A lot, but certainly not all.

    So you guys don't think they could beat the worst D-III team in the country?

    Yeah but Jeff Gibbs is considered the best center in D-III of the decade and he was only 6'3, so I wouldn't say that a lot of those guys are all that good.

    They could beat some teams. I went to a D-3 school and there is no way our team could beat this team.
  • CinciX12
    I really don't think some of you guys know what lower tier DIII basketball looks like haha.

    It is flat out terrible.

    Not even close.

    I forgot about Gibbs...talk about a monster
  • devil1197
    They would beat some small D3 that are simply terrible, but not any competitive team imo.

    I think 5 players from on here could beat the worst D-III team in the country. I know some of the schools do open tryouts every year just to get 5 on the floor.

    Possibly, and if so, the same five guys would paste the UConn ladies.
  • CinciX12
    So 5 guys from open try outs could beat them now? What the hell? Thats so not true its amazing.

    I don't think a bunch of nobodies would "paste" the UConn women's team. I don't think you know how bad the low level teams in D-III are.

    Perhaps I don't. I can only compare it to the D3 football I played, and the concept that a top high school team could beat a bad D3 team. They can't. Never in a million years. Unless the bottom of the well in basketball is lower than it is in football, I would tend to believe that the difference in physical strength and speed would overcome the superior skills.
  • jordo212000
    hahahahahahahahahaahaha. No UCONN could not beat a men's team.
  • wes_mantooth
    No, they couldn't beat a good high school boys team.
  • Cleveland Buck
    Unless this D-III team is a school for physically handicapped, they will still have superior athletes to the UConn women. It would be incredibly difficult for the ladies to even get a clean look at the basket, and they wouldn't stand a chance inside on offense or defense.
