True, he didn't. But I didn't exclude men's, either.

I don't get mad when people put down women's basketball. I get annoyed when people claim that women's isn't as hard to ref as men's, and when people try to convince me that I shouldn't like women's. I couldn't care less whether others like women's ball or not.

No, and I didn't either. I just said that the first day of the men's tournament isn't the high point of my year, the first day of the women's is more exciting to me.

I'm not sure that the change in teams that are in the mix is greater on the men's side or the women's, but you might be right, but so what?
