    saw the last 2 minutes and overtime. shocked at how little the woman's game has progressed. that team won 111 straight games? any decent hs boys basketball team could beat them.
    Actually, this years team only won 36 straight games. I think they lost the Top 3 picks of the WNBA draft from last years team? If so, probably why they weren't ranked #1 at the beginning of this season. A different team this year. Though, i'm not up on the women's game so i don't know if a decent HS Boys team can beat a good College's women's team or not. Maybe they should play one>LOL

    Dorsey & Brooks for Oregon better get going or they may get beat bad.

    I have no idea about the high school comment but men's and women's are different sports pretty much. My college soccer team was pretty shitty, bottom half of our conference (a real good conference though). Our women's team was a national championship contender every year and have won one and been to the final four a ton. We would scrimmage them and it wouldn't even be close. Like 7-0. Completely different bodies so a completely different game.

    Edit: just to add. I don't think my high school team could have beaten the women's college team.

    that's like saying the best college basketball team can beat the worst NBA team.

    Well I win $80 if UNC wins Monday. Right now I will move up to 2nd out of 32 if UNC wins in my bracket group, would be nice.

    no doubt it's about the bodies. women just aren't big or strong enough to compete. i played against girls who played high D1 hoops and almost always they were the least effective player on the court. i'm not talking playing with college level men. we are talking pick up hoops with some pretty good players but also some at best men's leagues level players. they couldn't get shots off or even dribble around guys. just a totally different level of strength and athleticism.

    as for the games tonight very happy for the Zags. either team winning in that game would have been happy for. Great fun by South Carolina.

    Oregon just didn't make shots. they couldn't hit shit and Brooks was really average. He was a much better player during the season than he was in the tourney. I thought Meeks pushed off on the last rebound. For some reason Carolina has gotten a lot of calls go their way this tournament going back to the Arkansas game.

    This UNC-Gonzaga game is tough to watch. Seems like the refs are liking the limelight a little too much.

    I didn't see the first half, but the second half was rough to watch. Refs were calling a lot and made the game pretty disjointed. Neither team could get in a rhythm.

    Zach Collins was rendered useless with some poor fouls in my mind.

    Congratulations NC people. Gutsy win. It wasn't easy for you, but you found a way.
