Those two final four games were awesome. Glad I tuned in.

Well, I think tonight proves again there is much parity in women's basketball.
Yeah all #1 seeds in the final 4 sure does prove that.

You make some great points but I think the parity gap is still far off in WBB. If you do not have playmaking guards and a solid post player who can score and rebound then you find yourself I’m tough situations no matter the matchup. UCONN decided to lay off Young to focus on Mabrey and Arike but Young lit them up for 29. In order for any team to beat UCONN, you must have 4-5 scoring options and control the turnovers and rebounding.
LSU does not have either of these options even to win the SEC. Yes, we hung with every team this year but when you have 4 to 5 minute scoring droughts, it’s difficult to win against the better teams. This off season season, our young ladies need to SHOOT until their arms fall off. Jackson and Mitchell will be our 1 and 2 scoring options but in order for this team to exceed expectations, Pointer, Spencer, Aifuwa, Farley, and Cherry has to increase their point production substantially. Two of these young ladies need to average at least 10 ppg, which isn’t much if we can finish layups. There is potential on this roster but it’s going to take some work. I’m optimistic about the future and hopefully this 2019 class will get me more excited.

Four no.1 seeds in the final four don’t scream parity.. the talent is locked at the very top with constants and a few interlopers from time to time.

It means nothing until we can reach the final four or even the final 8 as often as UCONN does

parity in women's basketbal
The world has never seen a sport with less parity than NCAA women’s basketball. I havent Watched a game in 20 years but can nail their bracket challenge by picking the lower seeds.

All 4 teams in the Final Four have players that can flat out shoot the ball. Each team made huge shot after huge shot. We have athletic players but no pure shooters. I’m curious to see how State does after Vivians and the big girl are gone.
I thought it was interesting that 3 of the 4 coaches in the final 4 are men. Both games last night were really competitive games. We are so far away from being competitive. It’s sad how far we have fallen. Notre Dame has lost 5 players to ACL injuries and are still playing for the National championship.

What does UCONN WBB 2nd straight loss in Final 4 mean for LSU WBB?
NOT A frickING THING

So like many LSU WBB fans, I naively overlooked Central Michigan. I was more so looking forward to Ohio State who I thought we could beat and advance to a Sweet 16 at least. Central Michigan (and MAC in general) was obviously under-ranked based not only on their "close" victory over us, but their domination of Ohio State (who I still think we would have beat). Ultimately, I think had we gotten a "normal" 11 seed, we would have at least advanced to the Sweet 16 (but of course, I can't really back it up with anything substantive, but I'm sure there are plenty WBB fans that would agree).
But what does previously undefeated UCONN losing in the final four for the second straight year mean for LSU? Well, I think tonight proves again there is much parity in women's basketball. Mississippi State upset them last year, and this year Notre Dame upsets them to advance to the championship to face, who else?, but Mississippi State. I liked how we played Mississippi State this year for most of the game, even before Ayana Mitchell really found her footing and we started playing some of our best basketball. Even more impressive given how State is heavy on senior starters and we relied mostly (minus Raigyne) on 1st or 2nd year players. Yes, we lost to them, and yes we loss to Texas A&M in the SEC tournament right before we could face them again. But ultimately, this game is seeming more and more about matchups and showing the parity that truly exists. All our losses were pretty close, and it shows that even with a young team, we could hang with anyone (even when we had a rough offensive game...our defense was pretty solid).
So ultimately, the fact that there is far more parity than most seem to acknowledge really speaks to the future of WBB, but also LSU. Our heavy freshmen/sophomore team can do some serious damage next year if they put in work in the off season, which I expect to occur.
This is not a pro-Nikki post (nor will it be anti-Nikki post). I think the young players she has now have GREAT potential. However, if they greatly under-perform their capabilities next year AND she doesn't secure a good recruiting class for 2019, I will certainly not be pro-Nikki. Based on what I have seen this past year with what she had, I am cautiously optimistic. However, like many, I believe she is a great on-court coach/can develop players, but have been more reserved on her recruiting. Class of 2017 was good (and makes me optimistic for the future) but class of 2019 is crucial following a lackluster 2018.
Bruh, I couldn't agree with you more. We do have the potential to be an even better team moving forward than this past season. But the recruiting MUST get better in order for it to continue. If not, I won't see a reason to keep coach Caldwell past the end of her contract.

You’re comparing the greatest team to LSU WBB becuz of 2 year’s out of the championship game, and while both years they lost by a last second shot?
You must be smoking some strong weed?
No hate on Nikki or the team, but our team is not even close to the same category as UCONN!?!?!?! No disrespect, but It doesn’t matter what “parity” you talking about, this is a mute argument

$10 that the OP is an assistant coach of the women’s basketball team.

Nothing moron. That’s like comparing the Yankees to LSU baseball
Posted on 4/1/18 at 11:46 am to bluetigerdawg87
Does that mean Nikki will get fired, and Geno Auriemma will resign from UConn, and fill the newly created opening at LSU?
