Not looking good for the UCONN women...

Down at the half...last time they had a close one they ended up losing!

1. UConn will not lose.

UConn kind of played poorly, and Dayton was on fire. Don't think Dayton will be able to keep up this pace.

And last time they had a close one, they lost, because they hardly ever have to play a close game. Not their fault, it's just that college women's basketball isn't very good.

2. Looks like you're right...

Although I have to say Dayton is better than I thought...or UCONN thought, apparently...but they beat Kentucky and I forget who else, rather easily, so they did deserve the final 8.

3. They were better than I thought.

They hit a lot of shots in the first half, and then tried to go inside too much in the second. Can't do that against the trees on UConn.

4. I know nothing about their program, and if this is a sign of them

getting better, or simply a good run and then they'll fade away...seems like the cinderellas on the men's side usually have more than one good run so you start to recognize them.

5. I think this is the first time Dayton

even made the Sweet 16.

8. Why

Why is it that women's college basketball is not that good? Is it the players? Is it the college coaches? Is it the high school coaches? Is it the AAU and youth league coaches?

9. It's the lack of parity, imo

There's only a handful of teams every year that can win the national title in college women's basketball.
It seems like all the HS All-Americans go to just a handful of the college teams, lately UConn, and it doesn't really make for an exciting tournament.

UConn blows out pretty much every team it faces. That's not fun at all to watch.

I think HS and AAU girls basketball is actually pretty exciting, and decent basketball, but the college game stinks, imo.

6. Well, So Much For That Prediction, Joey!

Dayton got schooled in the 2nd half. UCONN outscored them by 22. Don't poke the bee hive.

7. Yeah, I panicked too soon...

Should be an interesting final four.
