One thing to consider is that for the most part the women's game has not evolved at the same pace as the men's game. However, thanks to Pat Summit's dominant teams for the past twenty-five years and Title 9, more resources have been given to the development of women's basketball. Look at what has happened the last 15 years. There is more than two excellent teams (Tenn & La Tech), now there is UConn, Tenn, Stanford, Purdue, Mich St and the like. don't forget the WNBA is only 6 years old. Also, if you have noticed in this years tourney, not every higher seed got as far as expected. Translated, it means that one any given night....more of the less talented teams have a better chance than in past years.
This topic has been discussed nationally, and it has a lot to do with the physical make up of the sexes. The women's game has gotten faster, not faster than the men, but in relation to the previous athletes. They will probably never have the high flying action that the men have, but they will continue to evolve. Camps are now aimed specifically for the women and even for grade school girls.
Now, having said all that, I worked a college, in conference game this year where the score was 54 - 8 at HALFTIME!
