Would our women's team lose by more than our men's team could beat them by?
No. The men's team would absolutely destroy them. The women's team could probably keep it within 30-35.
Correct. UConn's women's team would probably still lose to a D3 Men's team. I'm sorry, I love the ladies, but there is just a major difference in athletic ability and physicality between men and women in basketball. And that comes from a guy who like watching women play because they're so much more fundamentally sound and seemingly more willing to learn to get better.
When I was at OHIO (1996-2000) I played a ton of open gym hoops at the Ping Center. Over the years, me and the group I played with got really good together and won most of our games against that competition.
Katie Smith's brother was at OHIO during those years and she came to visit one time. At that time Katie was literally one of the top 10-20 women's players in the world. She came up to open gym and we played against her and she could not do anything against us hung over bunch of bums.
Now if you did rotate late and she was open and got the shot off, it was over. But she just couldn't get good looks against us most of the time.
Really opened my eyes to the difference.
