I like beautiful basketball. Geno & staff (Muffet's teams over the past 4 years as well) have proven the women can play the game in a way that is pleasing to the eye with proper guidance. So have at it.

Totally agree. Two teams that play exceptional team ball. I used to think Geno was a jerk. He really is a great coach and a much better human being as he ages.

There's no Baylor vs Louisville on the list - there might be some entertaining bad blood there, maybe not for the players but probably for the fans.

I'll vote for Baylor vs anyone but Notre Dame, cuz we have great guests from Baylor here on the Boneyard, and if the premise is no UConn in the NC, then let's show a little support for our friends.

Aww, c'mon now, we have some great guests from Notre Dame as well who are enlightened and respectful. And...our South Carolina guest also. I think they (and others) help makes the BY one of the top WCBB fan forums in the world.

Why thanks, JavaMan. I'd like to think the Fightin' Irish contributors -- led by the Simian and the Flying Artichoke -- can add some insights, value, facts and a degree of humor from time to time.

Obviously, I'd like to have ND in the final. It would be interesting to see A'ja Wilson and Ms. Coates face off against Brianna Turner and our array of guards/wings. But I'd also be interested in a Baylor-ND match-up that would have Lauren Cox and Erin Boley on the floor.

(Fun to type words that have to do with games and players who are ON teams, as opposed to prognostications. ;))

I picked Baylor/N.D. because I want to see what Kim and Muffet wear. Who wears the tightest skirt and squats down the longest to watch their team.

And mdakota talking about Tennessee. Come on now.... let's be serious. :)

Fast paced and more offensive games are more 'entertaining' IMO. Like why all-star games are entertaining - bc there's no defense! So I'm going with Louisville & Ohio state... what I remember of them was good guards/shooters, and a fast pace.

As of today, I'd prefer South Carolina vs Notre Dame.

And then hope that ND wins, because over the following few years, loosing again in the finals to UConn repeatedly won't be quite as devastating to them. :D
Wrong answer as rooting against ND is mandatory. I think out of the team listed I'd like to see SC win. It's all moot though. None of the teams listed will win.

Well it's only 3rd times a charm if they DO play UCONN right? Someone has to check my stats (going by memory here) but their only two title match ups came against the likes of Geno and Co. But with a 11-0 record in title games I think a team needs more than charm right? :D:p

It was meant for them being in the NC game. The charm is not facing them again.

Thanks for the clear up on that one!...man there's more hidden meaning into these posts than there are in all of Shakespeare's dramas! :p

Not listed but I'd like to see South Carolina versus Notre Dame again.. I still have a sour taste about the meeting a few years ago. ONE POINT. :(... A rematch is needed.

Another game I would love to see is Maryland vs. Notre Dame.

Sorry to disagree a bit, but for me, Dawn beating Mulkey while watching Kim's DNA explode would be almost as good as watching The UConn turn them into polygons.

Being a great coach or being a jerk are not primarily exclusive terms. Some very good, even excellent coaches have been jerks (don't think just WBB) or does that mean any at times are not jerks (women or men)
