The starting point for this thread is a posting that RSHERMVIKES made in "2015 Final 4 - What Teams?"
I was struck by the number of teams that were listed as potential candidates - I think I counted a dozen. The issue isn't whether any of them can hang with UConn next year - I don't think anyone can if we remain relatively healthy.
What I like, as I look down the future of WCBB, is that in a few years there will hopefully (and I think likely) more than just two or three dominant teams out there.
That led to the following thought - I think I enjoy UConn women's victories more when they are against really good competition. Don't get me wrong - I'm not complacent, but the majority of games don't charge me up like games did in the early days of our ascendence.
My brothers and I were in Nashville and thoroughly enjoyed everything we saw, especially the drubbing the women gave Notre Dame. But I think it is also equally true that we were more emotionally charged with the men's championship this year, because it was so much against the odds.
So, which is it for you? Did you get more out of a) the women's championship, b) the men's championship, or c) they were equal.
