but he did so with women so that somehow makes the feat less credible than if he were to do so with men?

Yes, it does make this feat less credible. But this isn't because it's sexist. It's because every year there are only about 5 to 10 elite women's basketball players. UCONN gets at least half of them.

There are 349 D-1 women's teams since Title IX dictates "equality" in sports. But there just isn't enough talent to staff all of those teams. While there may be 10-20 men's teams that are capable of making a deep run in the tournament every year, there's only one or two year-in, year-out legit women's teams. So yes, I do devalue the UCONN women's team accomplishments in light of what men's teams go through.
