Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4173137, member: 10435"] I think the Men's league is so intense, with UCONN now renewing old regional rivalries and making new ones, that it actually makes the women's games more meaningful. It's a natural fit for UCONN, essentially a basketball school in essentially a basketball conference. The league will get better. You have some very good coaches and it means something to play hoops in the Big East. The women get to play in the on campus facilities like Walsh in South Orange or Carnesecca in Queens and they have the feel of old time college basketball for any of us BYers that can remember. I would like to see us get to a point where 3 teams a year get into the Big Dance. You just need more better players in high school and more transfers. I am amazed at how good the women are these days. For example, Correa from St. John's has a pure jump shot with a straight vertical lift. Put 2 more solid players on that team and you have an NCAA team. Same with some of these other teams. Seton Hall will get there too in a few years. I have no doubt. It's a great conference and Paige will be a draw for at least 2 more years, we hope. [/QUOTE]
