Sans playing UCONN, the sport is very competitive with some good teams. Problem is Geno has his program at an unreachable status

I gaurantee you college baseball shown on the big ESPN would get better ratings than WBB.


College baseball finals had less viewer's than the college softball finals last year. A regular season game would definitely do worse than the WBB tourney.

Also, it is extremely unfair that in the regional semifinals and finals, U Conn never has to leave the state of Connecticut. Teams that have won two or three playoff games shouldn't have to play what amounts to a road game.

I'd love to see the numbers for this "sport." The only women's sport I can really watch with enjoyment is soccer. Pretty hot girls and it's generally pretty competitive.

They need people to show up. Also UK played as a higher seed on their home floor and got beat handily.

there is not enough going on in the world of sports to justify as many 24 hour channels as there are, hence you get all kinds of niche and obscure sports and wall to wall shows of people yelling at each other about LeBron's latest tweet.
