SECN now is (20) Tennessee @ Alabama. Attendance around 50. The game started with four shots which included three airballs and one off the side of the backboard. Two traveling calls in-between. UCONN, Notre Dame, and a couple of others have like every Top 100 player.

Why are you watching if it is so bad?

You don’t need to invite 64 teams because there aren’t any upsets until possibly the Elite 8.

It's depressing.

I get to look forward to getting a push note in a few weeks about UConn beating the absolute dogshit out of my alma mater. If we lose by less than sixty, I will be relieved.

Lyn Rollins seems pretty into the final minute of tonight's game.

I like watching women’s softball. However, I just cannot get interested in women’s college or professional basketball.

I have no desire to watch the women at LSU even if I were given a free ticket. I respect the work that Pat Summit and Sue Gunter brought to the game though.

Most of the top 10-15 teams play good basketball, after that it drops off quickly. The Baylor-UConn game earlier this month was very good (Bears won by 11 pulling away late) and whenever Baylor-Texas play it's a good game and usually very physical.

WBB is legit possibly the worst sport that’s exists. And I mean that literally. There are very few things in life, let alone sports, that I would prefer watching WBB over.

And it’s not a woman thing. I can watch softball. Tennis is okay even. I can watch gymnastics or any of the Olympic sports. But WBB is just so boring and bland for me. It’s just SO subpar compared to its counterpart.

I honesty think letting them play on like 8 or 9 foot goals would make it ten times more interesting to me (although I still would not watch much).

I watch sometimes for the x’s and o’s. They are much slower and you can see things developing easier because it doesn’t move as quick.

I'm not a fan of basketball in general and certainly not a fan of women's b-ball. They look like they are trying to get bowling balls through the hoop on so many of their shots like it's a real effort to put that ball up about 12 ft. in the air to arc into the hoop.

There was a 16/1 upset in women's BB 20 years before the men. And it was on their home court.

I don't like it because that douchebag at UConn trying to beat teams 124-38. Sorry about your penis, man.

i personally don't enjoy watching sports or events on television that i think i could do better than the people im watching. it's very rare, but women's basketball and women's soccer fall into that category. a ton of sports appeal to me is watching people do things and compete against others that can do things that i cant. as you say, i really enjoy watching softball, gymnastics, volleyball, etc...

fwiw, im not even saying im better than women's college basketball players, but it certainly feels like it when watching which hurts the experience.

Has anyone mentioned yet that an 8th grade boys team can beat UCONN by 30?
