While I'm not saying a c-level high school team could beat the current UConn women's hoops teams, I understand randall's point. We had a #1 ranked in the state girls high school team when I was a freshman in high school, and as a big tune-up for the playoffs, their coach asked the freshmen boys coach if we could scrimmage them for an hour or so. We beat them by 30, and it wasn't even close.

I understand his point too & I'm not saying they'd beat every HS team in the country. But they'd beat 90-95% of them.

These women are very fast, great shooters, great ball handlers, great defenders and very athletic / big. Its not like the men would have that great of a size advantage at that age. The men would most likely be faster.. but I wouldnt under estimate UCONN's speed. and their skills would overcome the speed.

we're talking High School basketball players compared to a handful of the greatest women players in the world.

It's not sexism, it is apples and oranges. Could the Little League WS winner play well against a high school team? Of course not....Congrats to Uconn but Gino is an idiot in his comments.

I dont think UCONN women could compete with any men's college team.

High school is a whole different story. like those fruits you mentioned.

I think the one adjustment that most women have difficulty making in playing against guys is the larger basketball.

Just out of curiosity, what year were you a freshman in high school?
