I've been watching this thread most of the day. Somebody posted that women's BB is boring and I just can't believe that. I've watched the women's game evolve from the half court game of the 50's (3 stationary forwards, 3 stationary guards) to the modified half court game of the 60's (2 stat. forwards, 2 stat. guards, 2 rovers who could roam the whole court) to the present day game with 5 full court players. I think it's just as exciting as the men's game, it just doesn't get the overexhubarant hype (Vitale, McGuire, Packer,) the men's game does.
The implication that women atheletes and their fans are latent or practicing lesbians is hogwash, too.
My wife was an outstanding BB player, and is an excellent golfer and bowler. And she is 100%, straight as a gun barrel, hetro.
And furthermore, she'll whip anybody's a$$, male or female, who says otherwise.
I love to watch the Lady Vols in action. I had my fingers crossed for a National Championship game between the Lady Vols and the Lady UNC Tarheels but Baylor messed that up big time. Maybe this year.
