Is this real life?

Well they did lose last year...

I don't know what they'd do to fix it.

Women's college b-ball is in a state of arrested development. That's the only way one team can dominate the landscape in a sport for so long. It's in an immature state. The largest problem impeding growth is that there is no path to women earning a good living playing b-ball.

If there were, you'd see more women playing. That'd mean UConn couldn't sign all of the good ones, and there'd be more competition.

Talent distribution is just so uneven in the women's game. If there are 10 players who are level 100, six of them go to UConn and of the other four, they only go to Notre Dame, South Carolina, Louisville, Baylor, and Mississippi State. There is then a huge drop off to the next level, and there might be another twenty players between, say, level 80 and level 99, and those same six or seven programs are getting all of those players as well. There might be another 100 in the 60 to 79 range, and there are only ten or fifteen other programs that get those players.

In the men's game, you have 50 players who are at or near level 100. You have another 500 who are in the 80 to 99 range, and probably a couple thousand in the 60 to 79 range.

I am just not sure how you solve that problem. The sigma squared on the bell curve for women in height, weight, and speed is just so much narrower. You look at the average heights of the top tier teams in both men's and women's, and the distribution doesn't jump out to you, but I genuinely wonder how many people of the necessary height for women's basketball have the explosiveness, speed, and so forth to make the game fair.

The top 6 or 7 teams get most of the top talent in WBB. Texas has 10 McDonald's All Americans on its roster and still can't beat Baylor who is down to only 7 players due to injuries. The women's tourney should start with no more than 32 teams to save time and money since only about 6 teams really have a shot at winning.....if UConn stumbles.

The top-ranked and top-seeded Huskies took control with a 38-0 run, which would have been the season’s best if not for a 43-0 run just over a week ago at SMU.

“I don't know how to explain the runs,” Auriemma said. “I think you could say, ‘Well, the teams you're playing.’ We've had some runs against some really good teams that you can't explain. I think our defense has been pretty solid all year long. … Because we play pretty good defense every night, we have a lot of opportunities to get out in transition.”

How about the perfect record through 100 games of the AAC experience?

“I've run out of ways to describe some of the stuff,” Auriemma said. “Just [Monday] in the locker room, I asked Kia [Nurse] and Gabby how many games they’ve lost in college. They said two. I said most teams in America lose that many in a week. … It must not be easy to do because we're the only ones doing it, so there must be something we're doing that allows us to put ourselves in position.”

fricking a-hole. He just doesn't have any clue how UConn keeps winning, does he? News flash, coach- it has nothing to do with your amazing instructional ability. It has everything to do with the fact that UConn absorbs 90% of the elite talent in the entire sport and a high school coach could lead them to an undefeated program.

It's really not UConn's women's fault they got screwed during conference realignment.

The problem is they are in a non competitive women's conference.

Their previous conference was much tougher and challenging. They would be better in the ACC.

Miss St, USCe and Baylor will all give UConn a challenge in NCAA tourney.

They need to cut out 3/4 of these garbage arse teams to make it more competitive..... but they won’t ‘because TitleIX, and it’s not fair, blah blah blah’


Just another example of women getting in their own way
