I am really impressed with the physicality of this women's basketball team. I am a newby to the sport but I get vibes from the action almost like watching football. These girls really play with a lot of intensity and heart. I keep hearing the announcers saying the bench is thin and now I know why you need a stronger bench with all the bumps and bruises. LSU seems to be the walking wounded today. They got lot of heart and want to. So we will see if they can hang with SC.

It’s the reason officials can’t keep up with game
Plus girls are mean these days

I was at the game last night and can’t reiterate this enough, the way these girls were putting their bodies on the line blew my mind!!! There are so many beasts on this team but Reese is just on another level! She is a dawg out there! No one could handle her…super impressed by everyone, such intensity!

Basketball has always been a contact sport! Football is a collision sport, and basketball is becoming more of a collision sport!

Womens BB has always been brutal, My daughter played High School girls basketball in the late 90s and she would look like she had been in a fight with a bunch of badgers,, cuts , bruises scratches all over after every game!

Basketball was more of a contact sport 30 years ago than it is now.

This is true. College hasn’t been as bad, but the NBA is terrible today. Can’t even hand check. Sad.

There is nothing impressive about women’s basketball. The physicality is due to a lack of skill. This is a weird post to me. We fans of sports are strange

basketball has always been a contact sport. I only played through high school but went through the season with black eyes, a busted nose, a dislocated finger, cuts and scrapes everywhere.

It's a contact sport.

Is it a coincidence that we no longer, as fans, understand the difference in fouls when there is such a emphasis on betting on games. It seems as if in key moments, late in games, questionable calls are made that affect the outcome/winner.
