During it, she discussed the fact that they had a practice squad of males from the student body (tryouts every year). She said they practiced against them because the males (none of whom were good enough to play college ball) were more athletic and physical than any team they will play. She also laughed and said, they couldn't beat their male practice team in a full game, not even close. Those were the best female players in the country at the time against gym rats. Now, the level of talent among female players is likely a lot better now than it was then, and the WNBA, as you said, is the best of the best, but I suspect about any HS state championship team would run circles around the best WNBA team (just like the HS Soccer team that ran all over the USWNT in soccer last year).
