'23 - '24 NCAA Hoops

Enjoyable game and goddamn, those gals can ball out. The call was a bummer as a fan with no horse in the race but it was a foul. The timing just sucked.... And Marshal did a good job of selling it.

Caitlyn is the GOAT but as an impartial viewer, I think she has some growing to do. When the best guards are having off shooting games--i.e. Curry, MJ, Sabrina, etc.--they seem to find a way to recognize it and become equally lethal via drawing defenses and ball distribution. She had some nice passes but also took some really ill advised shots considering her shooting was a bit cold. Reminded me a bit of AI at times.

Regardless, she is unbelievably talented.

I forgot who said it above, but Clark, while amazeballs, has some room for improvement. She has a tendency to get really sloppy, like that play at the end of the half.

It’ll be interesting to see how she does in the WNBA series once she doesn’t have to carry the team on her back.

As a fellow Celtics fan, you should be used to that by now.

LOWER THE RIMS, I get so bored of watching jump shots and lay ups! Drives me crazy!! Pretty much the only women’s sport I can’t watch

perfect! that way the sport can never grow itself and instead rely on the college clout of a single player and the feeding tube of espn and the like to shove it down our throats, further polarizing any potential fanbase.

I'm guessing the two of you aren't the target market.

So again, best to just stfu and not tune in.

Why was she bypassing the screens? Frustrating to watch.

I only say it because basketball is one of my favorite sports. I wouldn’t watch men’s ncaa or nba if they played on 13’ hoops. It’s just so obvious to me, don’t want to offend and yes I won’t watch

The idea that the game is only fun to watch if it's played above the rim, such that they should lower the women's rim, is really weird to me. I like watching the game where the goal is putting the ball in the basket, I don't care if it's full of dunks or not. It's still mostly shooting and dribbling and passing.

You already said you didn't like it, so you think they should make all sorts of changes to the game on the chance that you will change your mind? Or instead cater to the fans who are really enjoying it?

Maybe we should just get men players and give them wigs and call it women's basketball so that you will enjoy it, because it's all about you?

I didn’t come up with the idea nor am I the only one saying it should happen. They are already using a smaller ball. Lowering the rim doesn’t seem like such a quantum leap.

Sports evolve and adapt through rule and equipment changes. Football just did it. Baseball has done it. Basketball has certainly done it. But if women’s basketball doesn’t want to do it, Id rather they not force feed me shitty marketing for their shitty product. Sorry for the naughty opinion.

9:40 tip tonight? That’s stupid.

All major sporting events starting late on a weeknight is stupid. So is having the Super Bowl on a Sunday while I’m at it.

Pickleball does it on the daily.

The Iowa-SC game was the most watched basketball game — college or pro, men’s or women’s — since 2019. That's pretty awesome.

Yea it appears the current rules are just fine. I watch a LOT of college basketball - benefit of my wife working for a university athletic department as a side gig to her professor job and I enjoy the women’s games as much if not more than the men’s.

Only 36-30 at half time? Pretty boring stuff.

Billy, are we watching the same game?
