Women's basketball watchlist: 12/2 edition

It’s a light but 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.

5pm: UConn at USF (ESPN2)

Any chance to watch UConn go up against a fun, competitive team? I’ll take it. Now, I don’t know if this game will be overly competitive, but USF was able to take down Duke and is one of the better mid-majors in the country.

7pm: Seton Hall at Princeton (ESPN+)

This is by far my most anticipated game of the night. Seton Hall remains undefeated, while Princeton has just one loss to an elite Maryland team and is No. 25 in my rankings. A win here is significant for both teams who are fighting for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament all season long.

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.

9pm: Charleston at Colorado (ESPN+)

10pm: Saint Mary’s at USC (Big Ten+)

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: East Texas A&M at Louisiana (ESPN+)

8pm: UT Arlington at Little Rock (ESPN+)

9pm: McNeese at Utah Tech (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. 

7pm: Bellarmine at Illinois (Big Ten+)
