Well, Duke women didn't make it to the semi- this year, but they have done well in the past. My point is that there WERE both women and men from Connecticut. It's just another way to narrow down who you are talking about. When you never actually say who you mean, it gets confusing. When I read your post, I think basketball. But for me, there's " women's basketball" and "men's basketball." I think women's first, because that's what I do the most and what I'm the most interested in. But most people think the other way around, and figure that's normal. Even the newspaper puts in their listings, "NCAA basketball" or "NCAA Women's basketball." I'm objecting to that. It's all basketball. It's either men's or women's, not either "basketball" or "women's basketball." There aren't lawyers, and lady lawyers, just lawyers. Not doctors, and women doctors, just doctors. Get it?

With all due respect, if the name "Okafor" told you it was a men's game, then what's the big deal?
If he had written, "In the second NCAA national semi-final this year, Connecticut had free throws in the double bonus up by 3 with about 3 seconds left. The shooter
(Taurasi) was very jacked up," should men be equally as upset as you?
