Does anyone actually watch womens basketball?

Angel Reese really has no coordination. Seeing her shoot layups is pretty bad. If she was not 6'3" she would not be in the league. She could not make a junior high boys team. Just embarrassing to watch her.

Still wearing her Cardinal sweat while watching her sister coach...

Isn't it ironic that Arkansas State is playing in the tournament for the first time after losing Higginbottom to transfer? Arkansas finished DFL in SEC.

They also lost their second best player (Pendleton) to Alabama A&M, which also missed the tournament.

Big news for the WNBA today:

CBS to air two Fever-Sky WNBA games in primetime

@paulsen_smw

The highest-profile matchup in women's basketball, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese, is heading to broadcast TV primetime on CBS.

I know she is paid to advertise this, but the food does not look healthy.

I think Paige Bueckers will be better than Clark. NCAA player of the year as a Freshman. If not for the injuries she was on a better trajectory than Clark.

She is just killing it tonight.

That Maryland - Alabama game... Im exhausted from just watching it. when you look up the term "March Madness" in the dictionary you see a picture of that game... so many twists and turns and incredible efforts and comebacks from the dead. I cant remember three bigger foul shots than those three Barker made to tie it back up at the end of the first overtime, in a hostile arena with her season and her career on the line. and she confidently sinks all three. and drops 45 points for the game. she better get a sniff from a WNBA team now after that effort.

I missed almost all of first half of UNC game for that double OT. But it was worth every minute. I thought K State-Kentucky was the game of the tournament, but that lasted for only one day.

I still managed to see the Alyssa Ustby show, aka the 3rd quarter. She missed the senior game because of injury, and I am glad we could give her the proper farewell. She has been the cornerstone of our program for the last five years and we will certainly miss her. Next up is the first ever showdown with Duke in the NCAA tournament.

BTW, HVL is playing the record-tying 171st game of her career on Saturday. Shae Holle is one game behind, but Texas could go further in the tournament than TCU. HVL is also 2nd AT in minutes played. But she needs 69 more minutes to take the lead. Lexi Donarski should move to #3 in the next game.

Thanks, coach.

"Since 1994 (when the tourney expanded to 64 teams), the #1, #2, and #3 seeds are 359-1 in the opening round."

One of the most amazing stats ever.

True, but for the top 3 seeds to be 359-1 since 1994 shows how weak the lower-seeded teams are. Those lower-seeded teams are not improving at all. Am not a bettor, but shouldn't you put maybe a $million on the top 3 seeds in the first round? You have better than a 99% chance of winning all your first-round games.

I love how the misogynists have now contorted themselves into the position of saying women's basketball sucks because not enough 16 seeds have won in the first round. that feels like grasping at straws since the women's Tournament outdrew the men's Tournament last year so they cant say nobody cares about the quality of play from the top teams anymore. so weve resorted to "yeah well the worst women's teams are less appealing than the worst men's teams!"

by the way, if you hate "predictability" you must have really hated men's basketball in the 70s when UCLA won 7 titles in a row and there were only a handful of teams that ever really did much in the Tournament.

you seem to ignore that much more money has been invested in the men's game over a much longer period of time that the women's game. and you find it shocking teams from tiny conferences arent knocking off the best teams in the country all the time?

also, did you know the top seeded women's teams get to play their opening games on their home court in the NCAA Tournament and the men dont? do you think that also may impact how well those 15 and 16 seeds do?

you must have been incredibly entertained by the mens Tournament in 2023 when you had San Diego State and Miami and Florida Atlantic in the Final Four. talk about an
"unpredictable" Final Four! parity at its best! of course the ratings tanked that year but Im sure that had nothing to do with the teams! they were underdogs! everybody loves watching underdogs advance! LSU and Iowa was BORING in comparison!

359-1. End of discussion.

Yes. The bigger question is the point spread. I haven't looked at them but in those first round games it should be 40+ points.

But if you have been following the women's game for a while you would realize that there's more parity than ever. This might change with NIL the way it appears to be changing on the men's side- the bigger conferences have the money to pay portal transfers. No Cinderella teams on the men's size this year.

😂 end of discussion is right since you apparently have nothing you are able to say to my response. thanks for playing though.

In other news... Aaliyah Chavez to Oklahoma. Must say Im a little surprised.

Well, #1-3 seeds play only 12 of 32 first round games. The other 20 games are played by #4-13 seeds. And there were plenty of entertaining games among them, including #4 Kentucky's one-point victory over #13 Liberty.

And if you are a fan of one of those top three seeds, seeing your team blow out an opponent is still entertaining.
