Is watching UCONN beat the life out of everyone entertaining?

Please don't make this a referendum on women's basketball.

People liked watching the Dream Team. Tiger winning by 8 strokes got big ratings.

UCONN is making incredible history, but I just don't enjoy watching them win by 40 at all.

Well more people like men's basketball and golf than they do watching women's basketball.

That's why it isn't entertaining though.

FWIW, Auriemma did tell people to not watch if the overall product is "unwatchable".

There is still a little bit of intrigue as to whether or not they will be dethroned.

Can you even bet on UCONNWB? Spreads must be insane?

If Anyone cared about women's basketball or women's sports in general, the answer would be yes.

Does Bama beat the worst team in the NFL on a given year? Probably not.
Does UCONN beat most WNBA teams? Probably.

Didn't realize Mississippi State was 20-0, though UCONN would probably still destroy them

I'll admit I haven't watched them play yet this season but they've got to be more entertaining to watch than the UConn mens team that's for sure

I keep holding out hope that South Carolina with Staley gets enough quality players in there that they can start being at least competitive with them.

I wish we could arrange the UCONN women's team to play a good high level men's high school team just so everyone could see what garbage WBB is. If the boys pressed the women would never cross midcourt.

When Tiger won, it was because he was that much better than everyone

When the dream team won, it was because they were that much better than everyone

When uconn dominates, it is because woman's sports are shite and have no depth, and they get the all the ones that don't totally suck
