Women's basketball watchlist: 11/29 edition

It’s a loaded day of WBB action. Here’s my daily watchlist.

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.

11am: Miami vs. Oklahoma State (Flo)

We start early with a really good matchup. Miami eked out a win in OT yesterday and Oklahoma State is looking for its first P5 win of the year.

11am: South Dakota State vs. Kansas State (Flo)

South Dakota State hasn’t had a great Feast Week, but they have a chance to earn a solid win here against Kansas State.

12pm: Vanderbilt vs. BYU (ESPN+)

Vanderbilt is largely untested. This matchup against an undefeated BYU team will be a great litmus test for both teams.

1pm: High Point vs. Charleston (YouTube)

This is a really fun mid-major matchup between two teams that are off to great starts this season.

1:30pm: North Carolina vs. Columbia (Flo)

UNC is far and away the most impressive ACC team right now, but Columbia has a chance to spoil their Feast Week fun.

3pm: George Mason vs. Ole Miss (BallerTV)

Ole Miss has had a few close games lately, so George Mason has an opportunity to put up a fight here.

8pm: Colorado State vs. Stanford (Flo)

Colorado State remains undefeated and has been really impressive in the first month of play. Stanford just suffered an upset loss to FGCU. We’ll see if they can bounce back.

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.

11am: Boston College vs. Murray State (BallerTV)

12:30pm: Northwestern vs. Missouri (ION)

1:30pm: James Madison vs. Wisconsin (BallerTV)

2pm: Drexel at Saint Joseph’s (ESPN+)

2:30pm: Virginia Tech vs. Oregon State (ESPN+)

5pm: Santa Clara vs. Vermont (YouTube)

5pm: Butler vs. Georgia (ION)

5pm: Florida vs. Georgia Tech (Flo)

7:30pm: Kansas vs. Dayton (ION)

7:30pm: St. John’s vs. Memphis (Flo) 

10:30pm: FGCU vs. Troy (Flo)

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: Abilene Christian vs. Bradley (ION)

11:30am: Longwood vs. Stephen F. Austin (Puerto Rico College Sports Tours)

12pm: Army at Eastern Kentucky (ESPN+)

3pm: Sacramento State at Cal Baptist (ESPN+)

3:30pm: Liberty vs. Duquesne (ESPN+)

4pm: Radford at Cleveland State (ESPN+)

5:30pm: Chattanooga vs. UC Santa Barbara (ESPN+)

7:30pm: Lindenwood at Hawaii (ESPN+)

7:30pm: Colgate at UC Irvine (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. 

3:30pm: ETSU at Louisville (ESPN+)

7:30pm: Washington State vs. LSU (ESPN+)

8pm: Cal State Bakersfield at Arizona (ESPN+)
