If the women's championship game is uConn vs. ND that would be like choosing between the Yankees and the Dodgers...
Oh and hi Joey- I'm counting the days until Opening day ( doesn't feel like it's close, it snowed today)

The championship game will be most likely UCONN v ND...none of the other teams come close to them...lucky you!

UConn is very, very good, no doubt, and they play everybody.
Geno has built the elite program in the country, for sure.

But women's basketball, in general, is really, really bad.

not that long ago...you never see defense in the men's game...it's all about athhleticism...the women can't jump like the men, so you see more strategy, IMHO

But not a ton of parity (although there were quite a few upsets in this year's tournament so far).
But the brand of basketball is just not good. I've seen some Top 25 teams play as poorly as some high school teams.

Then there's a huge dropoff-probaly only hte top 2 seeds in each division are up there, if that...but between 3-16, the parity there is getting closer, it's the dropff from the UCONN's and Baylors that hasn't closed.
