UConn Dominance

WBB in my opinion is still the game to watch, because they are the only ones that still play basketball as it was designed to play. Once the dunk happens in every game as it has with the men's game I would suspect the rest of the game will go also. There are a few men's team that actually play a good game, but at this point the women's game is it. With that said I will take Geno's advice and not watch UConn play. One thing Geno should have to answer for and it happened in the Miss St game, but has happen before. Why are the starters still on the floor in the 3rd qtr. when you have a 50 point lead that is why I will not watch UConn.

Reducing scholarships may help some, but I don't believe it will solve the problem. The women's pool to draw from just isn't big enough to support a large amount of teams. you take 3 players from UConn they are still the team to beat unless you can find a coach to convince enough talented players to come play and knock UConn off their pedestal. Dawn Staley is starting to pull talent in to of all places South Carolina. In a couple more years they may challenge UConn.

Tennessee has dropped off big time to once they have been since Pat's retirement so maybe that is what it will take to get UConn down is for Geno to retire, but that is a few years off.

The biggest thing that has to happen is the girl's have to want to play and be gym rats.

Geno doesn't have to answer for that; Miss state has to answer for not putting up a better fight. Geno's job is to get his team ready for the remainder of the tournament and if that means playing his starters with a big lead, then so be it. Stewart and Jefferson played 25 and 23 minutes, while the other starters played 28 and 26 minutes. Given that it was a S16 game, I don't see a problem with those starter minutes. What Geno does do with big leads is pull back on transition and have his team work on half-court offense. He also plays a lot more zone with big leads.
