A salute to the Women

[amory]

Win or lose tonight, in down seasons for the men (and in up seasons too) the women are always there to represent our school. I don't care if women's basketball "matters". UConn is in a national championship game on prime-time ESPN.

And that's awesome.

 

[Leebo]

Want to be able to still say UConn has never lost a national championship game in basketball.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Quite frankly, Breana Stewart can play.

She also has ridiculously huge feet.

I suspect that a small minority of guys on this board harbor some resentment towards the women's team, but I really do think it's only a small minority that doesn't root for the women to dominate WCBB. I for one enjoy the fact that I can watch one WCBB game a year, and in that game, UConn wins a championship. (Knock on wood for tonight.)

I'll watch it whenever I'm flipping through channels and I see it's on. It's refreshing to see ESPN personalities fawn over UConn like they do over Duke and Kentucky on the men's side.

And the vast majority of the time we win by 40 points, so it's just feel-good tv overall.

Ollie is in the house to watch them play.

She sure can. But since I turned it on at he start of the second half she's been getting schooled by a freshman. Never seen her play this bad before.

Jefferson has been our best player by far. She's unstoppable.

Kia Nurse is really channeling Championship Game-Sam Dekker

Hey Emmert- put us in the Power 5 you bum

 

[BugsyCT]

UConn 14-0 in NC games.

Hear that, B1G?

Geno deserves credit but talent wins out in the end. For both men and women this year. Could be wrong but I don't think women's hoop is going to sway anyone on CR.

When women are at least half of humanity's population, it is HUGE in perception.

In and of itself no, it won't.

But it sure won't hurt either.

It is a small plus. Money & viewers count. But a much smaller plus than MCBB.

I noticed Emmert didn't have anything to say at the trophy presentation. He didn't say a lot last night when he was on the podium with Duke, but he did say a few words before turning it over to the tournament director.

Also, he's starting to look like this guy from the Thunderbirds:

She also has ridiculously huge feet.

Kinda reminded me of that Seinfeld episode of man hands.

 

[UConnDad]

Maybe we should get Mrs. Delaney's support!

 

[Adios]

Maybe we should get Mrs. Delaney's support!

He has no daughters, so I am sure she loves us!

Does Jim Delany have a twitter account? If so he needs to get trolled..

Geno won't shake the guys hand or even look at him. Another reason to respect Geno.
