2011 NCAA Womens Tournament discussion

[ODJ]

Tennessee's opening game was a 50 point blowout.

Women's tourney is 64 teams purely for equality's sake. (Not hating on the women's game, just sayin'.) We're about to begin our third generation with Title IX, and there is STILL not enough attention to developing girls into quality players to field 40 quality teams in the nation. That is a shame.

Even the Women's NIT is 64 teams. Go figure.

Pauley Pavilion is closed for renovations. Guess the Galen Center (USC) was out. Bruins had a big lead, too.

No Bracketology for this one? Unfair! I protest!!

I'll take all the #1 seeds!!

It is all about venues that draw crowds for the NCAA. Tenn has played at home forever.

...

But ironically, the women have had one occurrence of a 16 seed beating a 1 seed.

1. The NCAAW brackets were easier to pick. I just followed UConn/Tenn/Baylor/Stanford to the final four and filled in the rest.
2. The Tennessee game was pretty exciting. You must have missed the Marquette game.
3. #33 for Penn State can shoot the lights out. Saw her in the Big 10 Tourney. Said she launches 1000 3ptrs a day. I was assuming in practice not a game. Too bad they lost, she was my pick to be the lady's version of JIMMER!
4. Tourney sites are based on $$$. As of a few years ago each site had to pay to host. Also, where can they draw the most people. That is why you see games in Storrs and Knoxville. The Zags women's team has been underappreciated all year, IMO
5. 1998: #16 Harvard 71 - #1 Stanford 67
6. Games to watch Oklahoma/Miami and Xavier/Louisville

I did pick a bracket, but I have no clue how it is doing. I forgot my password, but I think it is something like "whocares".

I'm going to disagree slightly and say it has more to do with interest from the girls than from the attention they're getting.
