Women's basketball watchlist: 12/13 edition

It’s a fun day of women’s hoops. 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.

4pm: Oklahoma at Oklahoma State (ESPNU)

It’s time for another fun rivalry game. Oklahoma State had high expectations after last season, but we’ll see if they can take down the Sooners.

5:30pm: UConn at USC (FOX)

UConn will test itself on the road at USC. They haven’t faltered yet, but will the Trojans be able to give them some trouble?

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.

2pm: UNLV at Cincinnati (ESPN+)

2pm: Arkansas at Missouri State (ESPN+)

2pm: Richmond at Liberty (ESPN+)

3pm: UTEP at BYU (ESPN+)

3pm: Southern Utah at Boise State

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. 

12pm: Hampton at Howard (ESPN+)

2pm: VCU at Temple (ESPN+)

3pm: Lindenwood at Iowa (Big Ten+)

3pm: Green Bay at Washington (Big Ten+)

5pm: Cal Baptist at UC Irvine (ESPN+)

5pm: Colorado State at San Francisco (ESPN+)

7pm: Dartmouth at Iona (ESPN+)

9pm: Houston at New Mexico

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. 

12pm: Akron at Michigan (Big Ten+)

1pm: Wofford at Ole Miss (SECN+)

6pm: Louisiana Tech at LSU (ESPNU)
