I think they could. Maybe like Ohio State Lima or something?

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.

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.HighRoller74 wrote: Nope. They'd get ran off the floor.

They could beat some teams. I went to a D-3 school and there is no way our team could beat this team.

I really don't think some of you guys know what lower tier DIII basketball looks like haha.
It is flat out terrible.

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.queencitybuckeye wrote:Not even close.LJ wrote: So you guys don't think they could beat the worst D-III team in the country?

Possibly, and if so, the same five guys would paste the UConn ladies.LJ wrote:I think 5 players from on here could beat the worst D-III team in the country.

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.LJ wrote:

No, they couldn't beat a good high school boys team.

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.
