Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3098139, member: 6911"] That logo is my point: The Final Four, without gender, is assumed to be male. In other words, it's the Real Deal. The women's Final Four is something less than the real deal: it's the "Women's Final Four". Regarding the current men's game, I will date myself with this comment, but I remember watching the Dean Smith Carolina teams, the great Maryland teams under Lefty Driesell, and John Wooden's UCLA greats. The current teams are far younger, since the best players leave real quick. And they are a shadow of the great "teams" of years past. Wooden and Driesell and Smith knew how to coach, knew how to execute as a team. Indeed, my first glimpses of Coach Geno's teams reminded me of Dean Smith's team basketball. I hadn't seen beautiful basketball like that in decades. And that's why UConn women's basketball is so enjoyable to watch! My point is that if you're going to have Final Fours or Tournaments for men and women, then call them the "men's tourney" and the "women's tourney." Don't assume that if there is no gender applied, of course it's the superior men's game. Just not fair. [/QUOTE]
