Can you at least wait until there are several pages of comments, so those of us who want to talk about this can and not just bitch about UCF for millionth time?
Well, you have to win all kinds of games to win the NC. There is west coast " pretty "
I agree with her. The sites for the women's tournament, especially the 1st 2 rounds, continue to an embarrassing aspect of the sport we love.
The most watched game, probably means they stayed to watch this slugfest till the end.
Probably only if they were die hard UCONN fans or they were die hard UCONN haters hoping UCONN got beat. Otherwise with all the stoppages and ugly basketball the game was unwatchable. And yes I watched the whole game because I'm in the first category.
I honestly don't understand the complaining that having the first two rounds at the higher seed's home court is unfair. I never heard an NFL team whine "It's so unfair to play in Boston just because the Pats had a better record."
So if she was a top 16 team...she said she wouldn't play on her home court, right? lol
Well, and I’m just spitballing here, because it rewards a successful season?
I can’t help but remember the words of a “troll” about 2-3 years ago and said that nobody cared about WCBB. It was funny then, it’s funnier now. The numbers bare that out. HE did care about WCBB and thought that others thought or should think like he did………..wrong!!!Apparently lots of people still want to see Uconn play....
Men's, women's NCAA college basketball tournaments see double-digit gains in TV viewership
The men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments are seeing double-digit viewer increases over last year.www.espn.com
actually, she was upset that her team was assigned to play uconn again. she felt her team and uconn had played too often. she did not gripe about the locale. she said it favored uconn, but she accepted that it was the way things worked, not unfairly.
UCF gets to climb out of mid-major status and join the big money world of the P5 next season, and she wants to talk about fair? Same goes for the Indiana whiners as their athletic department rakes in $60 million a year in TV money for doing nothing more than existing.
Men also?
Everyone likes a winner!!! Look at how the attendance numbers exploded this year for the LSU WBB program. Kim comes in, immediately changes the culture of that program and they start winning as soon as the flag drops. Local fans like it, embrace it and want to be part of it. Winning travels. It always has.
That was the days of "Tark the Shark" and where most of the teams used the run and gun offense and the in your face defense type of games. Sometimes I wished they had stayed together rather than some of the teams leaving and going mostly to either the Mountain West, Western Athletic, or the West Coast Conferences.
I agree. The constant whining and complaining, both by fans and coaches, is ridiculous. If you really want to solve the problem, then make WCBB as popular AND profitable as MCBB - there's a reason the men don't do the home court thing in the first 2 rounds - because fans will come regardless of who is playing, and pay higher ticket prices.
You can’t stop a team (in this case UCF) from playing a style the coach believes will help the team win and especially if it’s how they always play. They play a style intended to stop cutting and back doors and they came close to pulling it off. They aren’t required to please TV audiences.
People keep misrepresenting her statements.
