"hilariously good" is such a good way to describe Juju - seeing her be the high level defender she is really does make me laugh, I'm just like... how can one person be so good at every aspect of the game of basketball
The big 7...UCLA, SC, ND, USC, LSU, UConn & TX are far ahead of the rest of the country. But if I had to pick a sleeper it would be Ohio St. They're inconsistent but have top-tier athletes in McMahon, Cambridge, Thierry, Petty & Gray. They could pull an upset & sneak into the Final Four
Relentless team on both ends of the court... Love they throw up a lot of 3s and said a Prayer but once they are making a little more consistently then they are one of the team to look out for. Like to see them to upset SC team at least for this year... Imagine the last 3s points from Cardoso to crush them and lost the job for the head coach.
I’m so glad someone recognizes that Hailey Van Lith biggest weakness is defense. I’ve been waiting years for her defense to improve and it seems like it’s not going to happen.
Great video! I think you are spot on with that top 5. SHOCKING if one of those 5 don't win the National Championship. I probably would have a different order but those are definitely the top 5 teams.
UConn is playing with a very young team right now other than Paige and Kaitlyn. They will be a very different looking team in March after the conference season, especially with Azzi playing more minutes and in the flow of the offense and Aubrey back on the floor with her athleticism. Anyone who thinks they aren't a top tier team is nuts.
IMO UConn is not tier 1. What separates the other 4 teams from them is depth. The 4th best players on UCLA, ND, SC & USC are better than anyone on UConn not named Paige or Sarah. LSU, TX & UConn are top heavy teams & should be tier 2
If Azzi can stay healthy, you’re looking at 3 former #1 recruits, 3 top 5 (maybe even top 1) draft picks, and probably the best big three in the country alongside ND. Not sure I see the depth from some of the other schools you mentioned. For example, USC. Outside of Juju and Kiki, none of their players are putting up crazy numbers/dominating in big matchups. The UConn and usc matchup was a perfect example of this where the Paige and Sarah (44 points) and Juju and Kiki (41 points) duos had 40+ points, and no one else on their teams had more than 9. Therefore, I would actually have UConn above them in depth cause they were at least missing two key players
@Cocogirl44 "if Aziz can stay healthy". Been hearing those words for yrs. At this point, elite Aziz Fudd is just a concept, a vision, a hope. Until it becomes reality I'm not factoring her in. As for USC, IMO Marshall & Kennedy Smith r better than any of UConn's ancillary players
@ it’s definitely safe to say Azzi is injury prone, so it’s a big if. However, I think the key with Azzi is that when she is not injured, she has shown she is still elite. This season, she averaged 18 points in 22 minutes on 66% shooting against ranked teams. The threat of a player of that caliber on the floor at the same time as Sarah and Paige is huge, cause she draws the same type of defensive attention often that Paige does, which leaves other players open. She was still coming off of injury against USC, but if you go watch the few minutes she was on the floor against USC, you’ll see multiple times where she drew multiple defenders, causing them to sag off Paige and Sarah and leave those two open. That’s a big advantage for the team even when Azzis not shooting. As for Smith and Marshall, statistically they’re on par with UConn’s role players, so I think it’s a big stretch to say USCs 4th best player is better than UConn’s 3rd best player. For example, Kennedy Smith averages 10 ppg and 3.8 rbg on 42% shooting. Her season high this year is 12 points. Ashlynn Shade averages 8.8 ppg and 2.3 rebounds per game on 49% shooting. Her season high this year is 27 points. Both averaging 25 minutes. Pretty comparable but I would say statistically Ashlynn has the edge. UConn is also getting Aubrey Griffin back in a few weeks, who averaged 10 ppg and 6 rpg on 55% shooting in 22 minutes. I would argue, right now, USC and UConn are right on par with each other, but when healthy, UConn will be deeper.
@@emmauelcoleman702they won’t beat South Carolina in March esp on a neutral court. They literally played flawlessly against South Carolina. TCU beat Notre Dame but Notre Dame is still by far a better team than TCU. Dont let that one win fool you.
@LLCoolNay630 well the thing about UCLA is that actually are the better team having Lauren Betts whereas South Carolina had kamilla last year which was the differential in both teams. So unless UCLA shy’s away from what they did in the 1st matchup, if they were to meet again I could see it being the same outcome but definitely closer game. And as far as Notre Dame goes TCU did all the right things to win the game but yea Notre dame is the better team.
My final four are the gamecocks,USC , Notre Dame and unconn .my final two are gamecocks and USC . The winner 🏆 is the Gamecocks finish with a record of 37-1
I don’t see UCLA winning the championship. I think they will make it to the final 4 but I don’t see them winning the Championship. I got South Carolina repeating.
I would not even say a tier 1 has 5 teams the top 3 are the only 3 I see winning the title USC and UcONn are good second tier teams but they cannot compete with the top dogs UCLA USC OR NOTRE DAME at all
Enjoyed the video. My pick is Notre Dame to win it all because of insanely good guards. I think OU has chance for Elite 8. Have watched Michigan and like them to challenge for Elite 8. Agree Lelia return is key for Texas. But, their 3 freshman are impressive and give depth. Not surprised if Vic makes Final 4. At this point, my final 4 are Notre Dame, USC. Uconn and SC. To make Elite 8, Texas, OU, UCLA, and LSU. Great information as always !
Wow you said Sania Feagin is good defensively 😂 that's music too my ears I've been waiting on her to play defense last couple of years 😂 .....Go Gamecocks
I feel like Ohio State only time will tell once they play big ten teams, they need to have a redeeming season after being upset early last year. I think they will make at least the sweet 16, not sure on elite 8.
I like UCLA, South Carolina, and Norte Dame. I don’t know about the undefeated teams. I haven’t seen Ohio State or Maryland. I have seen Tennessee…they beat my Iowa team…and they look good. But Iowa would have beat them if their guards had hit 3’s down the stretch. Now Iowa is a very good team. Iowa would be undefeated if their guards had hit 3’s down the stretch in their 2 losses. So a team as good as Iowa that can hit their 3’s down the stretch would be able to beat Tennessee if Tennessee does not continue to improve. By the end of the year Tennessee could be a very difficult team to play. Same with Iowa.
Notre Dame won't make the Final Four and if Kennedy Smith (11) Guard has Not yet fully recovered, neither will USC. Also, If Fudd does not come back healthy for UCONN, they won't make the final Four either.
They said the same thing last year and where were we? Damn bear in the champ game! Aubrey is coming back and Ashlyn been working! Let’s pin this comment for march
@ not happening why do you think you see her in all mock drafts at #5 going to golden state she gets to stay home in Cali and still see her sister at ucla
Lady vols nowhere to be found..they might show out I think the coaches philosophy of rotating bench players as often as she does..may be the new wave of the future
You really don't know LSU😂 Gilbert is literally their real point guard😂 And don't get it twisted just because she comes off the bench means nothing that girl is a monster😂
how is 20-10-5 your rookie season a gimmick thats historical she will be the first player man or woman either her or jokic to lead any pro league in assists and points

My final four is South Carolina gamecocks, Notre Dame, USC and uconn
What do you think is UCLA's weakness that bumps them out of the FF?
UCLA is the most complete team. I don't see any holes.
South Carolina ain't going nowhere they're not impressive this year😮
@@brandonleemoss their better than your dusty self
@brandonleemoss they're so impressive that that the number one best team in the country

lmaooo so true. She uses so much energy on offense & finds a way to make insane defensive recovery plays

TN is a sleeper
@kylewarren8065 Definitely! What a difference a coach makes. TN had more talent w/that Rickea & Jordy team but this version is playing better
LSU do have a point guard Gilbert
South Carolina taking it all
My final two are south Carolina gamecocks vs USC and south Carolina gamecocks repeating as natural championship 🏆
IF Tennessee Lady Vols beat Oklahoma and LSU in the coming weeks please redux your power rankings. Thanks

Nah, Tac isn't it. Unfortunately for SC their dominant big run is over. Fortunately for SC their pg & wing depth is crazy good

Aubrey will be back ! Watch out
Uccon it aint that good this year! Come on dude!

I would swap the positions of the USC schools because Southern Cal has the best player and better bigs, but I like your list.
lol u don’t even believe that
UCLA all the way😊
I got Norte Dame, LSU; South Carolina, and Tennessee
Does it really matter when all going to lose to Carolina
@ we shall see-Hannah Hildago and in company will have something to say about that; but-hey-that’s why the games are played!
My final four are the gamecocks,USC , Notre Dame and unconn .my final two are gamecocks and USC . The winner 🏆 is the Gamecocks finish with a record of 37-1
If Southern Cal or ND win, we are going to have to have some real conversations about the guard renaissance happening in wbb
Somehow people in the comments still sleeping on UCLA and I think thats good for them don't need the pressure of expectations
My thoughts exactly!
Haven't won nothing to have any expectations
I don’t see UCLA winning the championship. I think they will make it to the final 4 but I don’t see them winning the Championship. I got South Carolina repeating.

Same story yall said last season and USC gave UCLA a beating 😅
I got South Carolina winning again. I think South Carolina can beat UCLA in March. If it’s not South Carolina then I pick Notre Dame.
My top going to March madness in the sweet 16 I got LSU UCLA where is Notre Dame and uconn
