COVID. That’s it. That’s the intro.
Okay, fine, i’ll continue. We knew that this was going to be a weird season, a ‘let’s cross our fingers and hope it all works out’ season. Putting aside the obvious incongruity of even having a season when a meaningful portion of schools are limiting and / or eliminating in-person instruction, once it started you knew there’d be hitches. UConn and Baylor were all set to play a hugely-anticipated game this past Wednesday. It was scratched because of the euphemistic “COVID concerns within the programs,” one of which turned out to be Baylor Head Coach Kim Mulkey.

It is a sad reality of the women’s game that there are a handful of Death Star programs, and then there’s everyone else. These are programs that rarely get beat by anyone other than their fellow Death Stars, year after year after year. UConn is the the most familiar example of a Death Star, but there are always 6-8 programs that seem to be playing a different game than everyone else. The sad, annoying fact is that you can fill out about 8 of the top 10 every year without even looking at the rosters.
