This week on Ball Up Top: A WBB Podcast, Andrew, Tyler and Chauny debate who is the top NCAA women's basketball team in America, the South Carolina/USC problems and if Moreyball is coming to the WNBA.
I couldn’t disagree more that UConn would beat UCLA if they played tomorrow - I see the point about Paige, but who does UConn have to match Lauren Betts? UConn currently isn’t getting much out of any non-Paige players - Sarah had good potential but is inconsistent right now, whereas UCLA is elite at every position. Geno might still out coach Cori but I don’t think Paige is the separator Andrew says, as Chauny pointed out they’ve lost plenty of games with her in the lineup. Also, Tyler pointed out Sonia did a great job on Juju and she completely shut Paige down last year, so it’s not like she’s unguardable, whereas she’s not shutting anyone down on the other end
