Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2033253, member: 2117"] I think as a growing sport it's good for the game. Common basketball fans know about Geno and how dominant the Huskies are, which itself is good for recognition and drawing in more fans. For current WCBB fans, it takes the fun out of the season when there is virtually no chance that anyone upsets the Huskies. I was thinking about flying to Dallas for the Final Four and visiting family, but I don't want to spend $200 on tickets just to watch the same team that has won it 4 years in a row pummel two opponents. And in future seasons, it's only going to get worse as UCONN has 2 more years with KLS/Collier and brings in Walker. In the last ten years, there has only been one nail biter game, 2 competitive games and 7 blowouts. There have also been 5 undefeated teams in the last 8 years, along with a 1 loss champion who was better than many of the undefeated teams. The previous ten years, there were 4 nail biters, 2-3 competitive games and just 3 blowouts in title games. There were also only 2 undefeated teams during that stretch. It was a much more competitive era and multiple teams were capable of upsetting the big dogs. You can't fault Geno, as he has turned UCONN into an incredible machine, but their dominance takes away much excitement for me as a fan of women's basketball. [/QUOTE]
