No, same starters
Yeah, I thought so. ESPN is showing Emma-Nnopu as a starter.

The game against Utah was a great start--but it is only a start. We need to string together many such convincing victories to build the confidence of our young players and shake the confidence of opponents. Let's hope we do it on national TV a couple of times, too.
UCLA dropped from 5 to 8 after their loss to WSU
South Carolina and UConn are 1 and 2, ahead of their matchup tonight. Louisville drops to #3 and NC State stays at #4 with their win over Louisville and their loss against UNC canceling each other out.
Arizona and Oregon are 10 and 11, respectively, going into their game today. Incidentally, those two teams will be our Monday evening opponents the next two weeks, both on ESPN/ESPN2. Hopefully, we will be able to shine on national tv. It's nice that the Pac-12 will have a round robin of sorts between 3 of the top 4 teams in the conference for the next 3 Mondays for a wider audience to watch.

In reflecting on this last weekend's games, it is not just that Colorado was a better team than Utah--it is hard to argue that Colorado is a great team given its record. It is that we matched up much better against Utah than we did against Colorado. Well, a whole bunch of teams that look more like Colorado than they do like Utah are coming our way. I'd love to see a 40 point blowout of some of them. That would certainly increase MY confidence!

First question is will be play Oregon State or can they play. They have played well after their first Covid days off now back on Covid pause.
Then it’s national Tv vs Oregon
