[QUOTE="Pharm Frog, post: 2389645, member: 34435"] Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away (San Angelo), the #6 ranked D2 women's basketball team needed someone to practice against before students returned to campus after Christmas break. They had a group of guys that they practiced with on occasion but they weren't back yet. About the only people available were the Central HS boy's team. They were willing to help until the AD learned that it would have been a violation of all sorts of NCAA rules and I heard against UIL rules too. That left them with a group of RA's from one of the hi rise residence halls. Suffice it say that the RA's handled them soundly and only two of them had played high school basketball past their sophomore year. I know this for a fact. I was the 5' 11.75" high post (yes...that was a thing back then). That team went on to lose in the quarterfinals IIRC. No slight at all. It's just a completely different game played at a completely different speed and height and physicality. I will also note that Cheryl Swoopes was in San Angelo a lot while I was there. She was married to an ASU athlete in the mid-late '90's. She played a lot of pick-up basketball in the old gym with male basketball players and football players who wanted to run the court. She was routinely the 8th to 10th best player on the court. If I had been running with them, she would have never been lower than 9th. That's for sure. Interestingly she entered the news again last year after being fired from a college coaching gig among allegations of abusive behavior towards players. Not sure how all of that was resolved. [/QUOTE]
