I've seen some good women's basketball.
Not a lot, but I have.
The Wilkerson twins and Kisseleva at LU were far more entertaining than most men's basketball I've seen in a while.

Working with the most evil and vile coach I have been around (K. Weber at UNCA) completely soured me on the womens game.

not watching womens hoops is understandable FR. I personally only watch top 10 matchups in college hoops. im not a WNBA fan, however to see an LU alum is a good thing. is it on tv??

i'm alum and you can come over and watch me mow my lawn if you wish...probably more entertaining...especially if i didn't do a good job getting the rocks out of the frontyard...

the old Craftsman 42" rider "found" a shag ball of mine out front and nearly fired it thru the windshield of my neighbors Suburban
he probably would've failed to see the humor in it.

Watching the Finals and Clevlands horrible team basketball (aka...none!) you should all appreciate a good WNBA game. They actually pass the ball like a team and not pass once and jack up a 3 that they can't hit for nothing.
Check out these vids if you think wbb is boring:
btw, Becky is only 5'6".

posting those vids is darn near attempted murder in my book....put a warning in there or something "WARNING: BEFORE WATCHING PROCEDING VIDEOS PLEASE MAKE SURE ANY FIREARMS OR SHARP OBJECTS ARE AT A SAFE AND NON-REACHABLE DISTANCE"

Why? Because you are scared you will kill yourself because there is no way you will ever be able to take the ball to hoop like these girls?

hey i'm all for women playing basketball, if you love it go for it....just don't expect me to enjoy watching it. its been 11 years and the wnba isn't making any money...theres a reason why...
i enjoyed soccer throughout my life and was fairly good in highschool....but i never got in a huff when anyone said it was unwatchable (which it is) or combatted with "oh yeah well they could nutmeg you, flip the ball up, and bicycle kick the ball past you....just jealous...psssh"

Who said I was in a huff? I kindly and respectfully promoted wbb, I got some intersting warning signs that SJ and Mallet want to kill themselves watching a girl dribble up the court, and Mallet thinks I'm in a huff.
You may never enjoy wbb, oh well, I'll never enjoy soccer. I don't care if your preferences are different than mine. I just don't like it when you guys say wbb is more boring than watching paint dry, before you actually watch a WNBA game, and see basketball played the way Dr. Naismith intended it to be.

this is a common statement and it is completely false. Even if you gals were using peach baskets and had to get the ball out everytime somebody scored, you wouldn't be.
