Sorry, but I don't buy it. Would Wooden have been thrilled? Probably. But I do not buy that women are playing the best basketball. Your average NAIA division II school would destroy the UConn women's team.
It's an impressive streak, I'm not saying it isn't. I enjoy watching girls and women play basketball, but whether it's "better" is purely subjective and aesthetic. By any objective standard, it's not true.
As some caller said on the radio, "The women are better at the fundamentals. The fundamentals are boring."
