I agree. An 8 foot round basket would help their shooting percentage. If not, maybe make the ball the size of a softball.

It would be much better. That 1st quarter was unbearable.

Watching them try to make layups is hard to watch

Wait till you get all sorts of guys claiming to be women joining the women’s side. I’m all for the 8 foot rims tho

I’ve said 8.5 for years. The game became more entertaining for men once it was played above the rim. Do it in all star type setting and see the response. It would be way better

The court should be smaller and the rim should be lower. A softball field is small than a baseball field. Why isn’t that the case for basketball?

Not saying it's a good excuse, just it's an excuse.

Maybe, maybe not.

I think more Cavinder twins would make the sport a lot more watchable.

A couple weeks ago, I said women's basketball was unwatchable -- and got blasted for it.

Glad to see everyone is now coming to the same realization.

I say allow one tranny per team. Then we could preoccupy ourselves with trying to figure out who it is.

Did you watch any of the Louisville v Iowa game last night? They shot over 40% from 3 combined in the game and the total score was 180. Is that unwatchable too or are you generalizing all of women's basketball on a few LSU games you've watched over a month span?

I don't think it's possible. How many high schools have the capabilities to lower the goals and this type of change needs to be made at all levels not just college/WNBA. The smaller ball is suppose to make it easier for women to grip and shoot. It's really all you can do.
