Womens Bball

So I guess I wouldn't say I "love it", but I'm certainly watching the game tonight and truly hope our girls can pull it off.

I would totally agree with benjay

i disagree with their fundamentals. i think they're better than men's. women shoot the ball exactly the same way everytime. that's why they never seem to miss an open shot. excluding the ISU women against Georgia.

I want the ISU women to win. Otherwise I find it unwatchable. I think it's terrible. For those of you who say the fundamentals are better is another way of saying they can't dunk or fly high. Shooting from your waist is not good fundamentals and 50% of women don't have a good form on there shot because there muscle is not strong enough to shoot it. Just my opinion.

No, the fundamentals are better because they don't play "jungle ball", fouls tend to get called, and players don't get to travel just because the move looked cool.

Men's basketball has grown to resemble something that is played on a playground, not a serious sport, with rules that matter. And it gets worse the higher the "ahem" talent level gets. By the time it gets to the NBA, it's closest relative is "All - Star Wrestling" where everything is "just for show".

You ever wonder why the International Teams have been kicking our Olympic Teams' *ss, lately? It's because even the "pros" suck at actually playing the sport.

Exactly right man. I know that these European teams play together much more, and our boys don't get much practice time together. But still, their style of play is called "basketball" and ours is "crap"

I honestly can't watch the NBA anymore. Haven't followed it for about 5 years now. Bunch of thugs. I think the Mavs and the Suns are learning how to play "basketball" though.

I hate to say it but, what the NBA needs are more Europeans. Their style is so much more fun to watch.

It would be interesting to see how many of the 34 people (so far) that picked Love It, have actually ever been to a women's game....

5 year season ticket holder until last year... only because I now work at Hilton and havent actually used my ticket for 3 years.

I cant wait to go back to the KC tournament.

Better shooters, less wrestling for rebounds, good ball handling, no dunk-o-ramas. I like it.
