Could NCAA Women's basketball over take NCAA men's basketball?

I know what I saw tonight, and I know what I saw yesterday. And what I saw yesterday was a much more exciting brand of basketball. Is the men's game becoming too concerned about plain old athleticism & not taking care of the fundamentals like it should. The women were more fun for one simple reason. They could shoot. They had superior team execution on offense while still generating great defense. This season should serve as a wake up call to the men's game. If they don't start putting emphasis on ball handling & more half court offense The men's game could suffer at the hands of women's basketball. This is not new. It is a trend which has been going on for a while now.

I hate watching men’s basketball. They’re all giants and have hands the size of dinner plates, so it’s not really interesting to watch them score, they can just walk up to the rim. The way they dribble bothers me - they take three or four steps between dribbles and Don’t get called for traveling. Not a fun game to watch.

lol, no

No

No. What you saw in the title game is an anomaly. 99% of womens AND mens games aren’t that fast paced with shots being made. Playing fast hurts most shooters & offenses while driving up turnovers. Don’t believe the media narrative they’re throwing out based on ticket prices. Those prices are solely based on arena/stadium size.

LoL

Nah it’s all bandwagon people. The same reason why half the people on here gave a ____ about TSAB womens basketball the past two weeks

Women's basketball can be just as bad. Go watch a women's game and watch them score six points in a quarter.

Having said that, the men's game is absolutely horrible. How can a team, playing for a national championship, go 11:08 without scoring a basket? I think it's because they are athletes and have very limited basketball skills. So, I'm with bandwagon king on this one. What he said is spot on and if you don't believe it, go watch a replay of last night's game.

No. That WBB game was a unicorn.

Put it this way. If you like seeing basketball when a single digit quarter is the common undoing of a team, WBB is your sport. It happens. A lot.

Pulled up the box score of South Carolina and UCLA from the tournament. UCLA scorched the nets for 7 points in the first and 8 in the second for a whopping 15 points in the half. Yes I know SC was great, but UCLA was a four seed.

But this is closer to reality of the abyss that exists between the few haves and the have nots in WBB.

But if you feel your path is correct, UL needs season ticket holders in WBB. That is, unless they allow free admission again this year.

Women's basketball is not overtaking men's basketball. Just stop this silliness right now. FFS.

As bad as that was. It was worse last night with San Diego State. A women's game has four quarters that each last 10 minutes. San Diego State went 11 minutes and 8 seconds without scoring a basket. So, they would have scored 0 points in a quarter if a men's game had four quarters.

As much as I wanted SDSU to win, knew it would be ugly. Watched Maine Cabin Masters with my wife. Credit points come football season.

Bet their version of RPCA is screaming fire the coach this AM.

Another reason added to the list as to why people give you ____ Kyle.

Women’s basketball will never ever overtake Men’s basketball at any level. Ever.

I will bet you any amount of money you want over any time frame you choose that Women's basketball will never overtake men's basketball.

This year was an anomaly. There's not enough talent consistency to go around for WBB to take over MBB when it comes to interest.

I forget which poster, but all year he would post the scoring drought times for women's basketball.

If you need a refresher here is a link to the Women's postseason Sun Belt game against App State.

That would be me. The droughts without scoring and single digit quarters are mostly the death knell of a team or the key to victory…except with the competition is just as bad.

NCAA WBB is just one Lea Thompson away from a downward turn.

How many NCAA womens basketball games have you attended in your life?

Point taken. For me about 20, all during the J. Kelley Hall era.

Men's Final 11.2 million viewers.

Women's Final 9.9 million viewers.

The women are closing in.

Didn’t count, but triple figures thru my lifetime is a safe estimate.

Now I’ll catch a few in person each year.

Willing to guess most here have never been.

Only current UL sports I have never seen in my life is golf and waterskiing.

And you?

I've been to a couple. Take my daughter because she plays basketball but our team is hard to watch.

That being said, it was free to go see the Ragin Cajuns this year. Guess what the attendance was.

Not really better than last year unless it was an “event” game as I recall from the box scores.

Again. Context. An anomoly.

That chick from Iowa was legit.

Outside of her, watching women's basketball is NOT fun unless you have a personal connection. This is just reality.
