UCONN women's basketball

[MarkOU]

35-0 this year and is beating the hell out of Texas right now on their way to the finals so. They just set that ncaa record few years ago for winning 80 straight and these girls are like on a 67 game streak so I gotta ask what are they doing? They don't seem to have dominating players. It looks like they have superior scheme and are playing against a bunch of basketball IQ less than 80 other teams. Seriously is the majority of these women's programs just ignorant how to play ball? And you might ask why am I watching girls bb well the crocodile tears when they lose are glorious plus I never miss a chance to watch Texas get beat.

 

[MarkOU]

Wow
This is the UCONN senior class record
149-5
3 national titles

And now they are in the final four going for 4th straight national title

wtf

 

[MarkOU]

9th consecutive final four




Ooh lordy they ain't drinking flint water that's foe sure.

They don't seem to have superior players? Uh...what? Their best three players are Seniors who were ranked #1, #2, and #6 in their class. The worst of those three was considered one of the greatest high school basketball players of all time. Their #4 player is a Freshman who was considered the best recruit since...Brianna Stewart, the #1 senior.

Womens college basketball is their career highlight. It's not like the men where they have the NBA to look forward to. UConn sells out a 17,000 seat arena and on the road, they lead to huge crowds which are engaged. Going to UConn is the only way for that to be true for the women's players. They can pretty much pick their recruits and will continue to do so until their attendance dies or another couple programs can rise.

Geno gets good players. Sure.

But he also develops player who fit his program. he does things differently. He doens't let his stars get awya with anything.

But you're wrong on Kati Lou, she wasn't even the #1 recruit of the last 2 years. That's Aja Wilson at South Carolina, who will likely be next year's National POY.

I don't watch women basketball. If women basketball wore those volleyball shorts then I would watch.

Didn't Gilbert Arenas say something similar? LOL.

more WNBA (but I am sure they are the same thoughts for college)

Gilbert Arenas' thoughts on the WNBA are pretty awful

 

[redseat]

My buddy coaches at Trinity College in CT and the coach went to Uconn so we would constantly sit behind the bench and let me tell you Geno scared the PISS out of me and he wasn't even talking to me

Wildest understatement ever. UCONN gets the best and to be fair they stay the best so there is some level of credit due but this isn't mens sports. The cream of the women's crop is really easy to pick out.

To be fair he did just say "women's basketball" above. That could cover college and the NBA.

They get some of the best. But not like more than a Duke or Kentucky get on the men's side either. Its probably less. Geno rarely uses his full allotment of scholarships.

There isn't a sport I wouksnt watch if the girls looked like Skylar diggins and Elena Della donne.

Hes the modern day wooden. No one slacks off and his best players are the ones he's the hardest kn.

Doesn't that back up my point?
