Sticky Notes has returned to No Cap Space just in time for the NCAA Tournament! What started as a fun way to track our takes has now become a little community activity for the Ball-Knowers. It took a couple of months to figure out what we wanted this to look like (Should it be competitive? Do we score it?) but I think we’ve settled on a good format.
Below is the link to the Discord so you can add to our already ‘in progress’ takes from this month. Good luck!
Complete:
JRTheWriter: I don’t think Arizona will be as bad as everyone thinks. They got a 3 headed guard rotation where everyone’s is a great passer and can create their own shots. Noelani Cornfield is an all conference defense type of player and Mickayla Perdue is gonna be a Big 12 name to remember
Andrew: Seton Hall, top 25 team by February
Jo: Washington is going to be a top 8, maybe top 6 team in the B1G
Elana: Sarah strong will have a 5x5 game this season
Katalia: Locking it in before conference play: I think UNC wins the ACC this year
Andrew: Sayvia Sellers B1G Player of the Year contender
Dakota: Grace Knox= freshman of the year contender
Jo: B1G most improved: Berry Wallace or Kennedy Blair
Anna: Missouri upsets Tennessee in Kellie Harper’s return to Knoxville
JRTheWriter: I think Quinnipiac and Lindenwood win their conferences
Jo: UNC is going to get to the ACC tournament finals and maybe win
KB: Baylor WILL NOT make it to the Big 12 Final
Jay: SDSU wins the rubber match in tomorrow’s Summit League final.
KB: Assuming they beat Bama…. Texas will make 4 threes vs ole miss in the sec semifinals
In Progress:
Jay: Hannah Hidalgo is the Caitlin Clark to Juju's Paige Bueckers
Elana: All 5 UCLA starters get drafted + stay on rosters all season
Andrew: Sira Thienou will be a WNBA All-Star one day.
Andrew: Western Illinois is the OVC champion and Mia Nicastro is a 3rd team All-American
Jo: Michigan’s free throws will lose them a tournament game
JRTheWriter: Kentucky makes it further in the tourney than UNC
Julia: In 3.5 years there will be a Pablo Torres investigation about the W artificially inflating expenses because of the players caving and taking net instead of gross revenue lol
Jo: Ava Heiden for national player of the year or first team all American in the next 2 years, maybe both
Jay: Notre Dame will out perform TCU in the NCAA tournament
Jay: Also, Vanderbilt will not lose in the 2nd weekend

Anna: Dom Malonga receives MVP votes
Katalia: Caitlin Clark & Paige Bueckers starting backcourt at the Olympics in 2028

Andrew: Seton Hall, top 25 team by February
Dakota: Grace Knox= freshman of the year contender

Mired (One That was Maddeningly Close To Aging Well But Not Quite):
Elana: Sarah strong will have a 5x5 game this season
Strong had a 24-9-5-4-3 game vs. Villanova in January.
Wired (One That Aged Well):

Jo: B1G most improved: Berry Wallace or Kennedy Blair
The Big Ten doesn’t have an official Most Improved Player honor but Wallace was First Team All-Big-Ten so I think it’s fair to say she’d be the winner.
