NCAA women's bball

[Raoul Duke MU]

It's not very often I will tell you to watch a college women's game (but certainly more often than I will tell you to watch the WNBA), but listen here:

Tonight's South Carolina and Iowa matchup (9:30 ET, ESPN) is going to be fun to watch if you are any kind of basketball fan. I often say women's bball isn't the same game as men's, but two players tonight transcend that.

Iowa's Caitlin Clark is a female Steph Curry. Well, she's white so maybe a female Larry Bird, since all white people love Bird, or Pistol Pete. Chick launches shots from anywhere, zero F's given. She has that swagger like Curry and Bird, let's the opponent know they can't do a damn thing about it, she talks shit. Hell of a passer too. 900 pts and 300 assists this season, that's absurd, man or woman. 40 pt triple double against Louisville in the Elite 8. Any basketball purist should enjoy watching her. I have the Big Ten Network for men's sports, but anytime the Iowa women have been on I've watched.

SC's Aliyah Boston. 6'5". Plays like a man, backs defenders down in the paint and over-powers. Two time NCAA defensive player of the year. Has like almost 90 career double doubles, average 2 and a half blocks a game. I'd liken her to Barkley, fun to watch.

A good show here to get you in the mood for tomorrow's men's games.

I watched my first game ever? a few days ago when Tech was playing and I was surprised at how physical they get. They barely call fouls so it’s just scrum after scrum for the ball. Was more entertaining than I expected.

If only they played on mud.

VT has an Aussie chick who is not difficult to watch.

The Iowa Louisville game got more viewers than any NBA game all year.

The women can play mean, for sure.

What makes women's college hoops boring in general is a lack of talent, there is a really big spread between the haves and have nots; unlike men's ball, where good teams can lose on any given night. That's not an issue once it's down to the Sweet 16, you see some good stuff.

Good thing our men's team doesn't play them.

Vt and lsu has been a good game too. I took my kids to the sec women’s tournament just to watch and learn team/fundamental basketball. It didn’t hurt that the tickets were free

 

[imherdfan]

So far, Clark is every bit as good as advertised! This So Carolina/ Iowa game is a good one so far.

 

[HerdandHokies]

Huh, VT collapsing at the end of the game. Guess women’s basketball is a legit sport.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

Told y'all that would be a good one!

 

[greengeezer]

That Clark girl is from another universe.

 

[HerdandHokies]

My 5 year old was rolling around on the ground saying “I’m gonna die” after she realized VT lost. I’m sure that one’s mine.

Caitlin Clark is the female Larry Bird.

 

[-CarlHungus-]

Caitlin Clark is the female Larry Bird.

She’s the love child of Bird and Anne Hathaway.

Yeah, if she was your “herd” half, she would have made that statement before the game started. 😀

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

Caitlin Clark is the female Larry Bird.

Told ya so.

Here is a thread waiting for your “sports” participation

LSU whipping that ass at the half.

 

[i am herdman]

Well..hard to beat the sisters back to back

 

[herdfan06]

Well..hard to eat the sisters back to back

I think they prefer to use scissors.

 

[riflearm2]

Not really. They have far less pubes to deal with.

 

[i am herdman]

Damn phone....they have a head full of them.

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

Told ya so.

She even lost in the title game.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

That LSU guard with the dyed hair that came off the bench was the difference. Not often a bench player is 7-8 shooting including 5-6 on 3's.

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

Yeah, if you score 82 (or whatever it was) and the other team beats you it just wasn't your night.

 

[ThunderCat98]

Foul trouble killed Iowa when they were trying to claw back in. LSU played lights out in the first half. Credit to them for knocking down shot after shot.

I think I heard that she transferred to LSU from WVU

Odd thing, are some of these sporting spectacles losing interest? Talke to a lot of people and it seems people are paying less and less. Talked to several folks on the golf course last weekend and more than not had not even watched a game of the NCAA tournament. One was a fomer basketball ref and played ball. Said he hadn't watched one minute of the men's tournament. Said he watched 8 games total during the season and that was his favorite college team he watched growing up. None of the others guys had watche, said they didn't care about it anymore. I know I didn't watch much college basketball at all this year. Started paying more attention really in the final 16 and then elite 8. Right now watching the men's game and it is boring me some. If I turned it , not sure I would miss it.

Transfer portal and nil and cellphones and politics have a lot to do with that

I just notifie more and more people don't seem to care or follow less closely. Looked like to me at one or thr final 4 games there were empty seats in the crowd.

 

[greengeezer]

There is no longer such a thing as college sports. No school loyalty. No team pride. Too many players sell themselves for the thirty pieces of silver then when the next school offers thirty one, they gladly put on the new colors.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

hat game was watched by 9.9 million people

10 million watched the final round of The Masters last year.

Cool beans besides the womens World Cup no one watches womens sports. The powers that be at espn etc will think because of this one game people will want to see women’s pro softball or some other shitty sport now. Just get ready for more womens sports on tv is all I’m saying

Apparently no one watches The Masters. @i am herdman , don't watch this year, no one else is watching. I think I will do some gardening instead.
