Women's basketball watchlist: 11/12 edition

The women’s basketball season has entered week two. Here are the games to keep an eye on today.

BE SEATED AT ALL COSTS

These are the games you’re going to want to skip work for – the ones that will tell us a whole lot about the best of the best.

7pm: Colorado at Louisville (ACC Extra)

Colorado has a few really talented freshmen and is still largely a wildcard for me this early in the season. This should be a good road test against a Louisville team that’s currently in the Top 25. Also, I’ll be at this game tonight, so it certainly falls as a must-watch for me!

7pm: Princeton at Villanova (ESPN+)

Princeton has the potential to be one of the best mid-majors in the country yet again. They passed their first test of the season, taking down Georgia Tech on the road. Now, they’ll face a new-look Villanova team and will hope to start their season undefeated.

9pm: Creighton at Nebraska (FS1)

Creighton is a brand-new team this year and I’m really intrigued to watch Nebraska in their first legitimate test.

THIS COULD BE COMPETITIVE/FUN

These matchups are more than just your run-of-the-mill easy blowouts. While some of them have the potential to be, these games are an opportunity to see good teams test themselves early.

7pm: Purdue at Purdue FW (ESPN+)

A DECENT LOOK AND/OR AT OPTIMAL TIMES

These games will either be a solid look at a team or they just fall at optimal times. If you’re in need of basketball to watch all day (like me), these are games to add to your list. 

11am: Nicholls at Florida State (ACC Extra)

11:30am: Coppin State at Penn State (Big Ten+)

6pm: Penn at Drexel

9pm: Sacramento State at UC San Diego (ESPN+)

WATCH YOUR TEAM WIN A BLOWOUT

The rest of the games here will likely provide no true competitive value – but you never know. These games are just a look at some P5’s playing teams they should beat with ease.
