He is worse than I am!
It's not lost on me nor probably some others that you and other geniuses can come on here and feel free to insult the men's players and the coach, while simultaneously exalting the women's team and you feel entitled to not have someone point out that women's basketball stinks and that the moronic comparisons between the two games are just that. That won't fly. You're like most people: you can dish it out but you can't take it when it's dished back to you. One of the other geniuses even plays the "misogynist" card. That's how weak he is. Can you imagine that?
As for your "point," do you think you can coach a major college basketball team better than Mike Brey? No, seriously, blowhard, do you? Do you kind of understand the idiocy of your "point?" In direct answer to your question, at age 20, would I have outplayed players on the current women's team? Of course. Since nitwits think alike, this has come up before. At about that age, I played against a former ND women's basketball player who had led the team in scoring as a freshman and has been Miss Basketball in my state. At the time I played against her she was in better shape than her high school and college days, in her mid-twenties. She was playing with guys who had only played high school ball, save for a couple who played in college. I had to take it easy on her. Could move her anywhere on the court I wanted on defense, would not jump to challenge her shot, because I would block it everytime, could swarm her into a travel every time down the court, et cetera. And I was nothing special. The disparity in strength, quickness and perhaps most of all, coordination, between an average male player and an elite female player is vast. We now have some studies comparing the strength of sedentary males to Olympic-level female athletes and it isn't even close. You put them in a sport like basketball and the contrasts are glaring. They can't even come close to doing the things that average men's players can do, forget about elite men's players.
It would be one thing if the white knights on here just said, "Look, I know they aren't very good, but I enjoy watching them, nonetheless." Or, "It makes me feel good about myself to tout women's basketball." Or, "I think I will impress other women if I say that I love women's basketball." At least that would be honest. No, instead, after every men's game, we get the various hammerheads on here going on about how great the women's team is in comparison and, "Duh, McGraw should be coaching them men!" And I love the, "Well, the women are more fundamentally-sound!" If you really think that, you know nothing about basketball. You're essentially inviting this treatment.
You and Mike are welcome to compete in my chosen sport any time.
I know a little about competition, technique and character.
They're fumbling along at 11-18 this year. Another traditionally strong team, Arizona, sits little better at 17-13.
This is a bad year. We get that. But the 2012-13 team had a losing record, went 6-12 in the ACC, and the next year went 32-6 overall and 12-6 in the ACC. This year's team is young, and you can't compare this team to Duke on that basis. Duke has NBA-ready players as freshman; ND does not.
This team will be far better next year. Should win 25 games overall and have a winning record in the ACC, at minimum.

would be an achievement. It will be the same team, and as of yet, nobody coming in for 2020.
I guess you're right. No athlete ever improves from one year to the next.
