Women can play basketball?

I would laugh, but those broads have started punching people something fierce.

Guess I'm the 3rd women's hoops fan.

/not really, but congrats to UConn.

Sorry to tell SUBBY but UCoon Ladies are pretty much making the Men's teams look sad. I am fairly confident that the Ladies would trounce at least 15 of the top 25 schools in the NCAA top 25. I'm undecided on the last 10, but think it might make a fairly excited tourney to give it a shot.

71 women's games? That's like - what - 25 in men's games?

Yeah but has anyone come within single digits of them this year? That would be an improvement.

Who isn't a fan of husky women?

1/10 - Too much hyperbole.

...so there are stories talking about something nobody cares about? I don't think this works the way we think it works.

No.

Chunks McGunks: Yeah but has anyone come within single digits of them this year? That would be an improvement.

Nope. Closet margin of victory was 12 against then #2 Stanford. They were up by 22 with 5 minutes to go before Auriemma put the subs in.

Further proof that women's basketball is a joke.

I think it'd be more fun to make the men's team that loses the 64 vs. 65 play in game the 16 seed in UConn's bracket for the women's tournament.

They'd win it all, by blow out margins.
no offense to women though, i do love em.

Yeah, that is what I am hoping for. It would be fun to see Jackson St. or Quinnipiac going to town on the greatest women's team of all time.

When one team or individual totally dominates a sport, it gets to where you wonder if that team is really that good, or the rest of the sport really that bad?

You can laugh all you want. Their good fundamentals totally makes up for their inability to dunk.

I think they prefer the proper team name, the Husky biatches.

/get it? because a husky is a dog, and a female dog is a biatch...
//_{...and a derogatory name for women is also "biatch"}

Some of 'em are kinda cute too:

Nice try, but the Uconn womens team would get destroyed by every single DI mens team. I am not sexist, just with the difference in player size, the difference in ball size and the ability for the mens team to dominate the court inside the three point line, you would be looking at a blowout.

Passive Aggressive Larry: Women can play basketball?

That's kind of the point - they can't.

I would like to see them play a top-5 nationally ranked high school boys team.

Who are you and what position do you play for the UCONN women's team??

I am a fan of UConn ladies b-ball. I grew up minutes away from Storrs when UConn basketball was only about Tate George's buzzer beater. Now it's about which All-American Geno is going to recruit and how the team will rip a new one into Tennessee, Stanford, Notre Dame, or any other top ladies program. I have no problem with this.

The Uconn Lady Huskies (cringe) program went through the motions so I like seeing the success they're enjoying now, as I know it can't last forever. I believe once the WNBA goes out of business, expect more NCAA recruiting parity.

If subby is Caroline Doty, are you single and can I have your number?

And the other one in that picture, with her back to the viewer, is even better...

bionicjoe: I'd say the Lady Huskies would go 2-8 against the top 10.

OK, so which two teams out of Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse, Duke, Purdue, OSU, WVU, Kansas St., New Mexico, and Villanova do you think they would beat?

Nice layup.

Quit interrupting pictures of cute women with all this basketball talk.

Don't know. I just bet they wouldn't go 0-10.

It's not just size. It's strength, speed, etc. Men are dominant in every aspect athletically. It's not sexist. It's fact.

They wouldn't stand a chance against anyone in the top 25.

I'm not sure they would stand a chance against the top 100 programs. Didn't some WNBA players lose a pick up game?

I loves me some athletic women, but it's preposterous to say they would have a shot. An olympic caliber female sprinter in the world, couldn't beat the top high school boys. Flo-Jo set the world record at 10.49, the high school boys record (just in the US is 10.09).

There is an obvious disparity in most sports that can certainly be overcome by skill. The top female pool player in the world could easily match up with the top guy, but if a competition comes down to raw athletics, the guys have a distinct advantage, though the gap is certainly narrowing.

bionicjoe:

Every D1 men's team would not or could not beat the Lady Huskies. There are plenty of ranked D1 men's teams that rely on jump shooting with small forwards and guards occasionally making a drive.
There are some D1 men's teams that are just terrible as well.

I'd say the Lady Huskies would go 2-8 against the top 10.
10-5 against the top 11-25 teams.
Win 75% of games against non-ranked men's teams.

One of the reasons the Lady Huskies are dominant is because they have women the size of men in the paint.

You are out of your god damn mind.

1st - Every team in the top 25 would beat them by at least 40. The girls won't be able to play the post(they don't have the size, the tallest girl on that god damn team is 6'4" and she would have about 50 lbs less muscle than even an average 6'4" male b-ball player.) No post, you basically take away half the court.
2nd - The smaller ball size that the woman use would give the men another advantage, and their fg% would go up huge.
3rd - Most shots taken within the 3 point line by the women would be swatted into the stands, and a good percentage of the ones take outside the line. Just look at the arc difference between mens and womens shots. Men have to compensate daily for defenders who are 6'6" and above where women do not.
4th - Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. Ron Mercer is 6'7". If you saw someone who was 6'3", then that was not Ron Mercer, that was someone who looked like Ron Mercer and was 6'3". Also, are you so completely stupid that you think the men might fudge the stats a bit while the women would not? I imagine if anything, the height stats move the same amount.

I refuse to debate this issue anymore as it is retarded.

and I will just leave this right here....

Cucumber_Breath:

Sooo... a 14 year old boy is roughly equivalent to a woman? Giggity!

bionicjoe:
Also, I am not trying to be an ass, or sexist, or a troll with all of this. Those girls are great female athletes and that is one hell of a record, and they should all be really proud for what they have done. Just if they played against a mens team, they would have no shot. No. Shot. They just don't stack up physically.

bionicjoe: And you watched some college BB outside of the ranked teams you'd notice that many teams don't have players over 6'6". Plus all big named team's players get 2-6" added to their height as the year progresses.

While I don't agree with the argument you are trying to make, this bit of your statement is dead on. The starting QB at my college was listed at 6'5". I was about 2-3 inches taller than him and I'm 6'2".

Also, do you think they may inflate the height of the female players as well?

Do you think coach geno gets bored coaching the best team in the minor leagues year after year?
