Boys HS vs Womens College

[blob]

I have talked about this with some of my buddies and would like to see some other opinions.

Do you think a top HS boys team (Oak Hill, not a top ND team) could take on say the lady Gophers?

I hope you're joking.

You can't possibly be serious. A top ND team could take on the lady gophers. Half of basketball is size and power.

Oak Hill could beat a WNBA team pretty handily. I think some of the top ND teams could beat some good D1 Women's programs out there

I think you are dreaming! Seriously, give the ladies some credit.

it has nothing to do with giving credit...it has to deal with athleticism...

A few years back there was a story in SI (at least I think it was SI) about Pat Summitt(sp) and the Tennessee Lady Volunteers. In the story it mentioned how the Lady Vols regularly practiced against men. In one of the practices they were playing a game and men won the game, which according to the story rarely happened.

Also, in the past year I remember reading a chat on ESPN with David Thorpe. In the chat someone asked him if a man with a few years of playing in college was allowed to play in the WNBA would he easily be MVP. Thorpe answered that he wouldn't even be close to the MVP of the WNBA.

Take the stories for what their worth.

How about Team USA vs. the class A state champion?

Team USA is taller than the Class A state champion and they have Candace Parker, which is also why the Lady Vols could beat men, in my opinion.

Credit? There's a big difference between the two... speed, athleticism, and physicality. The difference of physicalness is beyond me and it doesn't even come close. Oak Hill could beat several WNBA teams pretty good. Oak Hill has players just about every year who could compete in the NBA. Think Carmelo, Kevin Durant, Brandon Jennings. You have to realize the difference between the two types of games. It has nothing to do with not giving credit.

You're right, the athleticism one is big, just look at Candace Parker. She's dunked it once or twice in the WNBA and now she's a global icon. If you can't dunk and you're in the NBA, you're in the large minority

You could be the 3rd guy off the bench at Oak Hill and still get a scholarship toa decent college program. Oak hill is basically a prep for the NBA...or atleast was until the rule change. IMO......Oak Hill would win the WNBA Championship....not just compete.

any good high school team can beat college girls, they arent as quick, fast, strong, tall, skilled, and athletic as dudes, they would get dommed, hard-period. and they would be so mad *Edited by moderator

I saw 2 girls from UND's team beat a Mayville state men's player and one of his buddies that doesn't play BB in college.

It's from a few years back, though.

[Dareybuck]

that last comment on a mayville state guy. mayville is a depressing thought.
i think if you took a team like last years state championship team in A, they could probly make the WNBA playoffs with a winning record.

lets face it, it would take an amazing athlete with a bunch of training to compete on a "higher" level with MOST mens teams.

[poweraidman]

well i can bet that a lot of class b and a boys teams could beat any girls college team in nd, maybe not like unc or something, but they would definelty compete and not lose by a lot, how tall are the girl post players in D1 college, like 6.4 or so?

[NE B-Baller 242]

A top ND high school team could probably beat any ND womens college team and possible the lady gophers. But a top program like Tennesse or UCONN or a WNBA team NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dowork]

i think if you put a top highschool boys team against a top college girls team the boys would win everytime. I would like to watch the MacDonalds highschool allstar team against the womens olympic team.
