Because Im really struggling to understand why ESPN gives it so much coverage. Even watching this Uconn womens team play is awful. ESPN might as well broadcast the pick up game from the local gym
Does the owner of ESPN have family ties to someone high up in Womens NCAA BBall?

I happen to agree with you, but if you want to get your ass kicked by a bunch of grandmas and grandpas, come here to Connecticut and say that shit. They're fukin crazy with this shit.

#10They have the rights to host it, i assume that is the obvious reason why lol. They need to stop being bitches and pay up to take over Mens March Madness. Stupid fuking network has more than enough ESPN channels to host all of the games.Comment -

#11They show Beaver Ball because they don't want to be accused of sex discrimination by crybaby feminists who love to conveniently ignore the fact that all of the pre-final four games are so sparsely attended that one could walk up to the window an hour before game time and get two tickets in the front row.Comment -

There are plenty of other things that could be covered over Womens hoops.
College baseball is well under way. show that instead.
Show more of the college hockey playoffs
Id rather watch poker than Womens basketball

#21Women's hoops on the highest levels in college is quite exciting to watch. When I was living in CT, EVERYONE watched the Huskies. It was great basketball. It's just, there's so many crappy schools, the level of competition is really poor. Watching the Huskies beat on 16 seeds is not exciting. Watching UConn play Pat Summit is VERY exciting.Comment -

Did you know for 13 dollars you could have sat right next to Ed Cooley Sunday in the Fairfield / Kent State game.
UCONN/ Stanford / Tenn. / Baylor final womens four would do very good ratings.
That final four would make nice money for ESPN.Comment -

#31Took my wife's parents to a UCONN women's game at Gampel. Nice atmosphere. Kids. Especially girls seem to have a great time. Grandparents love it. Especially grandmas to whom Geno Auriemma is the 2nd coming of Tom Jones.
