Yes when you say she looks like a man. People rarely judge a men’s player on his looks, I can think of a few. People constantly judge women’s players on their looks. Why do you think Sydney has the most commercials for IU? Nothing wrong with it, but it’s just a fact that the better looking women will get the most deals, unless you are a superstar like Caitlin. I actually think I read Angel makes more than Caitlin though. And we CAN talk about how cute Trey is.
Thx I misread the post. The them is press etc who doesn't like the tough coaches.
Respectfully disagree. I love a game featuring good defense. That 38% wasn't because of lockdown defense. It was a cluster under the basket. That's sloppy.Uh-huh.
If you're one of those guys who can only enjoy makes, you should just watch this year's NBA All-Star game on repeat. Nobody stopped anybody from making anything. Electrifying.
I don’t think that’s putting down men. It’s a thing mostly men say to put down women. It was said about Michelle Obama, which is really stupid. I guess because she works out and is fit?
It’s just a difference of opinion. Some people like pros. I normally don’t enjoy it at all. I like college, but the players transferring and leaving early has made me enjoy it less. With the women staying around 4 and 5 years, you get to learn and enjoy their personalities and games. As the women’s game grows, it will likely have the same problem as the men.
Compelling? The tournament probably has a bit more curiosity that years past but I'm pretty sure the bar was low. Women's softball is nice, the game is fast and has a different dimension that baseball due to field size and many other factors. If they lowered the rim for women so they could dunk and didn't miss so many shots around the rim it would increase interest.
Iowa shot 78% from free throw line and 12 errors. LSU had 13. That doesn’t seem like a sloppy game. I prefer a high scoring game to a 45-42 defensive battle, but I can appreciate good defense too.
My Dad has dementia and loves IU Basketball. He won't have any idea who the players are next year. If he had seen them for three yrs I bet he would have good days where he knows them. But not now. Some of us loved the continuity of having kids there for four years. It's just not that way anymore.
I have no clue what Caitlin is or isn't I've never watched a interview of her in my life. I watched several of Angel and she is the most self centered individual I've heard in a long time.
Did you read the article where it said men’s tournament has been losing viewership, while the women gain? It’s not just curiosity. You realize IU averaged 4th in the country in attendance, over 10,000 a game? So yes, compelling. I don’t care about dunking. I don’t think they need to change anything, as the game is only going to grow, I do agree with your point about it becoming more balanced. Very few huge upsets in the tourney. Ohio State probably being the biggest.
I wonder if the 6'8 girl from SC can do a two hand slam?
Was Candace Parker the first woman to dunk or were there more prior to her?
Why do you care about her clothes? Or maybe Bob Knight wishes he was her. She does have one more title than he does. You don’t follow women’s basketball , that’s fine.
Lisa Leslie, I think.I wonder if the 6'8 girl from SC can do a two hand slam?
IMO the men's game is trash, it is a bidding war with NIL and ease of transfer. The women's game is somewhat of a welcome relief to that, but probably more just knee jerk from traditionalist who long for the way it was in men's college basketball.
I disagree that people don't talk about men's players' looks. I think it's just more socially acceptable to rag on a guy for being overweight, having a receding hairline, or just looking kind of weird. I've only watched parts of a couple Indiana State games, but during both the announcers were talking Robbie Avila's looks. No way any announcer would touch saying anything good or bad about a college basketball player's looks.
don't get too mad her clothes were funny and she definitely wore them to draw attention good and bad. I thought she looked like a circus clown, just my opinion. So I'm assuming she has 4 championships, I learned something today so thank you.
I’m not a fan of hers, honestly. But I do think she is a good coach. She won 3 at Baylor and 1 at LSU. She was a pretty good player herself.
99.9 percent of the population couldn't tell you who, so Carolinas best player is. Angel Reese is only known because of Catlin Clark. do you know who so Carolinas best player is? I don't.
I’m curious…what % of the population, do you think, knows Alabama’s best player?
Yes I do. I follow women’s basketball. Their 6 7 center, Cardoso. Angel played at Maryland before she transferred to LSU. She made more in NIL last year than Caitlin, so I guess some people know her.
