This has frequently been the case over the past two decades. The top team is far better than the rest of the competition and it makes for an anti-climatic finish to the season. How many something and 0 teams have there been in the last 20 years in the women's game?

The ND/UCONN game was the Championship game. UL is not being allowed to beat on players like they were against certain teams from Texas. They can't match up any other way with UCONN

They certainly played very well the first half!

Guess they're trying to play spoiler and break-up the Louisville double-championship that UCONN enjoyed a few yrs ago.

to answer the question - its Brenda Pantoja, Lisa Mattingly, and Denise Brooks who are working the game. . .

And in response to Nevada's rant - the moment that the NCAA gets out of the dark ages and allows women to regularly work mens' games at the Div I level, including the tournament - no MAN has any right to say squat about how we get the short end of the stick. . .

Also...the alternate was Joe Vaszily, aka, the guy who gave Geno the T for his midcourt dance against Maryland in the Sweet 16.

7:17 hard foul. Flagrant ?
Someone forgot to tell UL they had to play defense tonite

By itself, I didn't think it was a flagrant foul but I haven't watched much of this game.

The announcers are killing me. I thought it was a good patient whistle before they went F1. You can always upgrade but you can't downgrade. Thought it was a good F1.

The problem is there just aren't as many high level D-1 caliber female players as there are males, so the talent pool is going to get thinned out after the UConns get their top picks.

The same phenomenon happens at the high school level, and you see the same half dozen or so teams winning championships and winning with a few 60 point margins in the season.

In many ways, it's not much different than the state of the men's game 30-40 years ago.

Except that this is totally inaccurate in regards to this year. The top team all season was Baylor, the defending champion, who was beaten in the sweet 16.

And then the UConn beat a ND team that they were 0-3 against this season.
