I am. Not just women's basketball. Out of proportion to what I perceive as their value. No one needs to agree with me. As to the post you were replying to regarding academics, one does wonder, on the other hand it was mentioned a couple of times on broadcasts during the tourney that a...

She's from Kansas City.

To the post you were answering - she hasn't moved around a lot. She was doing ok at Arizona till Adia left and all the team portalled out. Went to Iowa State and most of that team has now abandoned ship. So that isn't a red flag. That said, Jada was a smart cookie - she got frustrated with...

I was wrong for both semis as well. I like Dawn and have issues remaining from the PAC days with UCLA. So I'll root for South Carolina while thinking that the game is likely a toss-up.

This has been a pattern for several years - "let them play". At some point Dee Kantner was asked during the broadcast and said that there were clearly fouls that could have been called, but nothing "egregious" and it was consistent and even both ways. Here's the thing - That style of...

Very impressed with Columbia. To clean up a little foggy language in your post - they were only home for the first game. They had two road victories - at North Dakota State and at California, and then won the last 2 on a neutral court, in Wichita.

Sure. Not overly common in women's basketball, because there is little upside. There may be contract issues (i.e. payouts), and almost certainly a dearth of candidates to come in mid-season, so the calculus has to be how the interim is likely to be an improvement. Happens more often in...

I so kind of hate to post, but - Montaya Dew has retired from basketball for medical reasons. The highest ranked recruit ever at Arizona, never able to realize her potential with on-going knee injuries that cost her her freshman and junior years. Very sad. Only 2 players are returning -...

I had to root for Columbia, as Wisconsin was still under .500 after the 3 wins in the WBIT. I get that they were the only available B1G team, but . . . I don't like either BYU or Kansas particularly. And I root for "smart" schools. So - Go Columbia tomorrow.

That's an over-simplification. All the attendance figures have been between 9000 and 11000+ and I don't think that's bad. 2 factors come into play - a lack of attendance by fans of the teams in the second game at the first game (they drift in) as well as vice versa. Also, seats behind the...

You make certain good points, but in the end the interest in Women's Basketball remains, as has been said, for the fan's particular team. If you look at the home attendance numbers you linked - after the first 6 or 7, they really are not that great. And women's fan bases do not (necessarily)...

They are not bad, although they can go off on a tangent. I still like Brenda VanLengen among the best, Ann Schatz that I hear occasionally is entertaining play by play that still covers the main points. Ryan and Rebecca are fairly good as well. While I'm less critical than some, at least...

They always list attendance for only one game - there is only the "session" attendance. There is not a separate admission for the 2 games. That was likewise the case at all the sub-regionals the week before, although a few of the schools put the total attendance amount for the session on both...

Without the humor, much of what @Dillon77 said. It only matters how outstanding it was for a coach in the A10 to have the win / loss records that she did. At the time you are referring to, the post-season opportunities for teams not making the NCAA from non-power conferences were less than now...

She has been well considered for years, Rutgers fans were panting for her a bit when CVS retired. Four seasons are outstanding and you almost have to discount the first 2. I don't think RI was particularly good before she came and the Atlantic 10 isn't a bad conference. They (conference...
