I keep forgetting how hard it is to watch women's b-ball

[finalfourorbust]

In the Dayton championship game there were many flashes of superior athleticism & tough competition such a Special Jennings ball handling & shooting, Phillips posting up & Harris' 2d half shooting. Dayton's women, especially Raterman, showed tenacity & marksmanship. Agreed often skill level is far below men's.
I found yesterday's St. Bonny-LaSalle double overtime game painful to watch as both teams were inept with a seeming desire to give the W to their opponent. Bonny's Michael Hawkin's 2 turnovers late in regulation gave LaSalle OT chance. Murray's dumb fouls in OT almost let St. B off the hook. Pathetic play. It made one understand why A-10 is not better regarded.

The biggest problem that I have with the girls game including the Dayton game is the number of uncontested layups that are missed by the girls. That is the most basic offensive play in basketball. Every team starts their pregame warmups with a layup line. It was tough watching us miss the final four last year by missing two wide open layups at the end of the game.

Speaking of Mt. Carmel, what did you think of Tracy Abrams? Can't say I was impressed when he played Br. Rice the past couple of years. Seemed to have no interest in the game in my opinion.

I was going to post about that game because it was so poorly played.

As to the missed layups in the last game last year. I went crazy the first time and then crazy the second time....to bad this years they decided to highlight it over and over again...it turned my stomach but Ta had a good response to it last night on the local channels.
