How many of you watch the women's hoops?

[whywork2]

I haven't watch the women's college backetball nearly as much this season compared to others but enjoy the game. The last ten years or so the game really took off. They probably shoot better than the men, they probably shoot free throws better than the men and the game is more traditional.

I've followed the UCONN women for some time along with some of the other top programs like Notre Dame, Louisville, Tennessee and Stanford to name a few.

Looking forward to the games today. I'm thinking it will be a match between the two undefeated teams when its all done with UCONN playing Notre Dame , should be fun.

I dont watch womens basketball. The last time I watched a womens basketball game I was high school, and the only reason was a girl, Amy Hume . I know one thing, I would rather watch a womens basketball game then a womens hockey game, I went to a Minnesota womens hockey game once. Never again..

I can watch the Uconn women, and am fine with putting it on if there's nothing else to watch. They play with an intensity and focus that anyone can appreciate, and they have always have some pretty impressive talents ie Diana Turausi, Maya Moore, and this year Brianna Stewart (she is really good).

Some of the teams that play so far below the rim are tough to watch though

I think once you get to the sweet 16 they are all pretty good and have been for some time now. It's not like watching women's college basketball from 20 years ago. There are impressive athletes, great shooters, good coaching and some really cute young talent. It wasn't hard looking at Sue Bird and Skylar Diggins either. Either way I enjoy it. My father has followed the Connecticut women and Geno Auriemma for quite some time, he was the one who kind of introduced me to it years ago.

If you see some of the highlights you can see the physical talents have grown by leaps and bounds.

I'd rather watch cricket for 2 hours. And watching cricket for more than a few seconds is excruciating.

I watched one Womens final four and it was when Cheryl Swoopes played

I watch it. I'm ashamed to admit it, but to me it's like watching real basketball. The teams are team oriented it's not like one on one see if you can out your head down, get to the rim, and throw in a shot. That being said, watching on television is pretty boring. I watch at school because I'm friends with the people on the team.

Also, they helped me with my bracket and up until Maryland beat lousville I was in the top 100 on ESPN. Haha

Who do you have winning it all? I think UCONN is going to be hard to topple since Notre Dame had Natalie Achonwa go down to injury.

Dude UCONN was going to romp ND with or without Achonwa. They are so fucking good.

I had Notre Dame, but UConn will win out by double digits since Anchongwe tore her ACL.

Who watches this garbage? It is not competitive.

UCONN is in the final four nearly every damn year and every single year they go undefeated or they lose at most 1-2 games

ive been watching nd since they got to the sweet 16. the 1 thing I like about womens bball is that they don't waste time. they get into their offense quickly. they don't waste 15 seconds of the shot clock doing nothing

 

[cane_man]

UCONN women, ditto. Otherwise, I dont care.

They've got a shorter shot clock, so they can't really afford to waste time. They're also aren't as many players who will just take it one on one and still get a clean look so they need to be attacking and looking to score.

Shocking there will be 2 #1 seeds in the finals

 

[steveringo]

My mom does.

But, she is 74 and lives in Connecticut. I think there is some rule that comes with retirement in this state that requires you to follow women's basketball.

Women's basketball has come a LONG way in the last decade.

If your opinion of women's basketball comes from more than five years ago... its time for a reassessment. (Tomorrow's championship game between two undefeated teams is a great place to start).

The players have gotten so much better in recent years. They shoot the ball very well and move the ball very well. It is quality entertainment.

I've tried...I've really tried over the years...but

ChickBall/ChickSports just don't cut it for me...

unless they're playing nekkid.

Tonight's game should be good. Notre Dame lost one of their best players a couple games ago, but played well without her in their last game.

Uconn-Notre Dame has emerged into a great rivalry. Seeing two undefeated teams in the national championship is crazy. The parity in women's college basketball is slowly building and I don't think we'll ever see this again.
