Lower the goal to 8 1/2 or 9 ft. They already use a smaller ball, so why not?

Game is boring at shite. Most trips down the court just end up with someone throwing up the ball in the general direction of the goal and either it goes in - most times luckily and announcers call it a great shot or hoping for their big teammate to rebound and lay it in.

Even 10 years ago it seemed (from the highlight shows) more fundamentally sound with better shooting.

Case in point was the SEC final. I rarely watch college and none of the WNBA so just a random thought that could make it watchable.

Not sure you actually watched it then.

Also, the officials letting pretty much anything go in the paint probably leads to a lot of "wild" looking shots down low. SEC title game is an example of that. Absolute muggings going on and no whistles a good amount of the time.

I did watch the game. Both Reese and the tall girl for USC were talking trash from the start. Obvious on TV and very few calls either way. Refs helped let that situation happen. At one point the LSU player tried a layup starting from behind the goal twice in a row. No foul called on big girl, but also a ridiculous shot to attempt
