They had the National High School Invitational Tournament on tv this past weekend, and the 2 teams (Oak Hill Academy/Findlay Prep) playing in the finals were ridiculously good. They would demolish the best women's college team. They could probably beat quite a few college men's teams. Think about it. The best HS teams have players that are capable of going to the NBA directly out of HS if the rules allowed. The best boy's basketball teams, are taller, bigger, faster, and more athletic than the top women's college team. It would be a blowout.

Asker's Comment:
My thought exactly. It's not sexist, it's just the way it is.
Personally, I'd pick the MD, Auburn, and UCon women's teams to beat most of the men's college teams. If the UCon women were placed in a men's bracket, I'd have them as far as the Sweet 16 if not the Elite 8.
I also think the UT Lady Vols 07-08 team and the LSU 07-08 team to beat any men's team!

No question, without a doubt....any female basketball would get thrashed. Its just a different game, mens basketball is faster, stronger and more physical. Yeah the best women's team will be overall more polished, but the best hs boys team is gonna be playing above the rim, they can't defend them.

I am coaching a National league women's team in Europe. This season we beat two under 18 boy's teams as well as a men's lower league team. Of course a women's team can beat a men's team because we have done it three times this season. The key is to have a quick fast break and good shooters.
