I used to go to a bunch of Aces games when I lived in Vegas, I had a blast at them. In my younger years I enjoyed going to Manley and watching the women’s teams and always had a blast. Women’s basketball gets spit on because of a dumb stigma which you’ve brought up.
It's enjoyable for the fundamentals alone, which the old gents in this thread surely should appreciate.
One thing I love about the games too is the crowd, great energy!
Eh. When you've seen fundamemtals with elite athleticism, fundamentals by itself is boring. I watch sports largely to see physical superiority. Some of that is technique and fundamentals, but only part. I know I was spoiled by mid '80's to mid '90's basketball.
I'm not sure that's the right question. What would they do to a lower level D1 team? I believe the lower level D1 team would crush them, and I don't watch them either.
Or shift the 3 to 4 points and the 2 to 3 points. Big men that can hit 55% of their shots should be relevant.
If anyone watched the Olympics, the Women's USA team was by far the best basketball team in the tournament, and none of the men's teams are even close.
Stewie's Seattle team would crush them.
What size ball
?
It was the men and the NCAA when they took over women’s college basketball from the association for intercollegiate athletics for women (AIAW) (which was run by women), that the size of the ball changed. Before 1982 the women used the same exact size ball as the men. The women fought against the change but of course lost out. The men (NCAA) thought that the smaller size ball would help women dunk the ball, thus earn more money for their organization. So after 1981, women had to use the ball the men devised for women. I played in college and used the same ball as men throughout it having graduated by then. It was a big adjustment to use the smaller size ball. So it cracks me up how so many men will dismiss women’s basketball now because they don’t use the same ball as the men, when it was the men’s NCAA that demanded the change. Ironic isn’t it?What size ball
Syracuse vs Arkansas tourney game is the type of game you seek
ugh. How about Syracuse - Texas (2003) instead? Or maybe Syracuse - Georgia (1996)?
Oh hey what's up 11 year old me. (in the white hat with the strategically folded brim like every other mid-90s kid).
The style of SU Georgia was not aesthetically pleasing .. SU Texas I consider more of a modern day game
unless you play center at SU
I seek a bunch of the type of games that I saw in the past.
We had 2 of our best teams ever in the 2010’s.
Beginning of the decade was good. The rest was horrific in ppg. When the median is 70.2 that is a rough stretch. Those last 7 years we had ONE season over 70.5 ppg. Our low the 36 years before that stretch was 70.9 ppg.
