What a dud of a game, though. That was a blowout.The game that mattered was yesterday and UConn are National Champs once again!!
Don't really care. This has been most boring tourney I can recall and have no vested interest in either team
Blowouts can be fun when you're rooting for the winning team. But, yes, UConn blew through the tourney this year like the men did last year.What a dud of a game, though. That was a blowout.
Bueckers and Fudd both were finally healthy. They probably would have won 1 or 2 more titles together if they both didn't have knees blow up on them.Bueckers was finally healthy and Clark had graduated. Those things helped a lot.
For sure. As a guy who watches hardly any women's hoop, I was looking forward to this final. But UConn just completely dominated. It was no contest. And Bueckers didn't even have a great game -- 17 points on 5-for-14 shooting. But Fudd and Strong just destroyed them. The gulf between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams is WIDE.Bueckers and Fudd both were finally healthy.

The rate of ACL injuries in female athletes is staggering. There are many theories but no effective preventive measures-estrogen, lower extremity alignment, proprioception, muscular development etc.Bueckers and Fudd both were finally healthy.

Put them in wheelchairs. Save the knees and make the game more entertaining.The rate of ACL injuries in female athletes is staggering. There are many theories but no effective preventive measures-estrogen, lower extremity alignment, proprioception, muscular development etc.
I see. Watkins at USC was another high profile knee injury. Interesting topic that may get some more research focus as women's sports are attracting more attention and dollars.The rate of ACL injuries in female athletes is staggering.

The women's game has a lot more parity than it did 10 years ago, but when you win an NCAA tournament game by 80+ points as UConn did in Round 1, then the game is still not quite there yet. Certainly improving though.For sure. As a guy who watches hardly any women's hoop, I was looking forward to this final. But UConn just completely dominated. It was no contest.
