Ok? Did that necessitate a response?
I'm assuming you really did know (because most people know the men and women go on roughly at the same time), but just made the comment to show how much you really don't care about women's basketball and trying to sh*t on the women's sport.
If not, then really, why comment?

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

They really were. Two overtime games in the Final Four makes for some exciting entertainment!

I thought it finished before the men's final four, did Louisiana Tech win again

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.

Really sucked that I missed the end of both games. Was certain that UConn was on its way to domination after closing out that 1st half on that run.

First of all, I was mainly referring to the fact that most of the media seemed to refer to UCONN as the clear number #1 favorite and "unbeatable," but obviously Notre Dame and Mississippi State last year (when the same thing was going on) proved that wrong. Which leads me to my second point, Mississippi State may be a #1 seed this year, but they weren't last year when they upset UCONN. Regardless, my post was more "holisitic." I wasn't just thinking about this year, but the last several years. I wasn't just thinking about the final four this year when I was thinking about the current year, but also thinking about the whole tournament. And I was also thinking about how LSU stacked up against many top teams this year and the potential for the future given how young a team they are. That was my point.

What does UCONN losing mean to LSU WBB?
Those two programs are non-intersecting sets.
Nikki Caldwell Fargas does not recruit, therefore LSU WBB will not get back to the days when Gunter (latter years)/Chatman/Van Chancellor coached. Those 3 coaches recruited very well. I am not sure why a young attractive black woman cannot recruit to LSU, a program that has gone to 5 consecutive Final Fours, prior to her arrival. But if Alleva has his way, nothing will change.

Misert, please stfu. After Van’s first year, WITH POKEY’S PLAYERS, he went to two second rounds, then missed the tournament.
Being an “attractive black woman” means nothing, but you showing your ignorant arse beliefs. Just stop. It’s old and tired at this point. Your whole little schtick is dumb as hell. Give it up already.

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.

I actually very much agree with your assessment. As optimistic as I may appear on this board, I am also a realist. I do recognize the challenges ahead, but I try to view current circumstances as positively as possible, especially as a season ticket holder. I totally agree that in the off season they will need to "shoot their arms off." Glad you said that, because that is a thought I had as I typed my original post. I still see great potential in this young class, and I do think that Nikki and company can get the current group ready.
Now am I as confident in recruiting? No. But do I view the situation as "black and white" as "mistert" who seems to talk a lot but seems to know next to nothing about WBB? No. I will withhold serious judgement about recruiting until after 2019 class. I've seen some positives and some negatives since what I refer to has the "restart year" for Fargas (i.e. 2015-2016). I've said before and I'll say again, I'll give her at least one more year, but no more than 2 on recruiting.

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.

LSU WBB is mediocrity.
Caldwell-Fargas' recruiting and philosophy is the problem.
We are spinning our WBB wheels...............wasting alot of money and we have an AD with lead in his azz.....

Recruiting wise: They desperately need to be finding a scoring JUCO guard (2 or 3) to add to this upcoming season and get both of the Young’s for 2019. The one from Evangel had a home visit with Arkansas lately, this will be very disheartening to let a neighboring state/conference rival steal an athletic guard away. This is how i think the depth chart will look for 2018-19. Missing scoring, we can teach that matchup, find some scorers.
1- Pointer, Richard-Harris
2- Jackson, Cherry
3- Spencer, Norton
4- Mitchell, Farley, Jones, Neubert
5- Aifuwa, Farley, Bidikuindila

What exactly do you feel is the issues? You do not seem to be optimistic about anything or offer anything constructive? Even in the Final Four years and Van’s years, there were still missing pieces. Teams with 10 McDonald’s AA are still struggling to reach a sustained level of success but i guess we can just complain till there is a coaching change.

I don’t know if you can objectively call a team heavy in 1st and 2nd year players and finished the regular season ranked in the top 25 and made the NCAA tournament “mediocre.” Just doesn’t make sense.
quote:
Caldwell-Fargas' recruiting and philosophy is the problem.
As I’ve said before, I’m not the biggest fan of Fargas recruiting-wise. I am cautiously optimistic based on what I’ve seen the last couple years and hopeful that assistant DeMoss can deliver continuously. But again, I’m reserved, but not as reckless as you in calling for an outright complete change (in many cases that does more harm than good).

Based on every post of yours, it’s obvious that you know ZERO about women’s basketball and just seeking any excuse to further your anti-Alleva narrative (I am not saying I am in any disagreement here, or even agreement, just don’t like briniging WBB into this, particularly by someone who clearly knows nothing about WBB). How about you stick to a sport you know? Knowing wins/losses/records does not make you an expert or even knowledgeable in any capacity.
