RAVEN JOHNSON 👀

Oklahoma and SC please give me a game 🙏

@DanGrigorian @NILnotNLI @alexaphilippou The women were only allowed to use "March Madness" branding beginning 2022. There's a lot of places where the women's committee seems incredibly incompetent.

@ForGoodAri @NILnotNLI @alexaphilippou Nice data pull. So the men's tournament previously must have been valued 100x more than that of the women's then... Interesting.

Geno Auriemma once again ripped the NCAA for its choices surrounding the women's basketball tournament, saying Saturday, "I just don't understand some of the decisions that are made about our game when we're trying to grow the goddamn game." espn.com/womens-college…

@WNBAStormChaser Not to mention how good Awa is.

@WNBAStormChaser From the use of possession maxing and the length is one of these contributors The Ringer? A lot of words without explaining who the Wings will fill in the front court with their lack of FA appeal, or how they'll succeed without a pnr partner - I hear that's a pretty common play?

Read what #WNBA Media members think about the upcoming WNBA Draft. See where they stand on topics like who the Dallas Wings should take number one, what the Storm will do, where the UCLA WBB players will be drafted & more. This is Part 2. #WNBADraft stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/wnba-media-a…

Geno Auriemma’s (justified) rant about the women’s double regional reminded me of this day in the life I put together a year ago so wanna know what it’s like to cover that event? THIS IS IT 😅

16 days

@NILnotNLI @alexaphilippou The men are receiving 10-15x the investment but they aren't outdoing the women by that amount However this isn't a men vs women's issue (there's also factors like more boys play/are fans of sports than girls etc). This is ab the incompetence by the NCAA on the women's side

@alexaphilippou If more people actually supported regular season Women's Basketball (instead of just talking about it) there wouldn't be this mess... Over half of NCAA D1 programs averaged less than 990 fans a game this season. Only around 30% averaged more than 1500 fans. That's not support.

@sharkiowa @sportsfan6718 Iowa fan so let me expand - look at all the players in the portal and leaving high school and ask yourself why is Iowa not grabbing those athletes? Fans can buy all the tickets but where's the investment from the university?

@sharkiowa @sportsfan6718 UConn takes their women's team seriously and invests, and you think they're the problem? 😂

“I don’t give a damn when we play, where we play, who we play, bc we’ve done it and we still end up here. But I’m just telling you the student athletes experience sucks compared to the men’s experience” Geno’s comments last year. He stays on their NECKS

UConn's Geno Auriemma blasts the NCAA for its tournament scheduling 🗣️

The Duke women win on the Samford Elevator BLOB. Since Bucky McMillan ran the brilliant set, it's become a regular in college basketball:

Women's sports orgs @MarchMadnessWBB @NCAA when asked to use common sense to make money and grow the popularity of the game

Cheapest lower bowl tickets on the sidelines for a Sweet 16 game: $136 You price people out at 11:30am on a game that is 900+ miles from Louisville and Michigan...and this is what you get. Stupid.

CHILLS ELEVEN

@vrob1974 @sharkiowa @GuruLakers Synergy - during their rookie years PB was blitzed 14%, CC 12.4% lol

Paige DID NOT get blitzed more as a rookie than Caitlin did, fuck right off 🤣🤣🤣. Caitlin was blitzed twice as many times as any other TEAM in the WNBA as a rookie. Show me the proof behind your claim, I need a source on that bs Paige got guarded like a Make A Wish Foundation kid until her 40-piece, after that other teams didn’t want that humiliation so they gave her a taste of the Caitlin Clark treatment and Paige was in hell, put up 3 stinkers in a row Most of CC’s TOs aren’t from being stripped either suck a bad faith take

App gonna get dark that first time that Hannah Hidalgo picks up CC full court 😭😭😭😭

@vrob1974 @sharkiowa @GuruLakers Paige averaged 2 tovs, CC 5.6, even though Paige got blitzed more. Why would you press someone who doesn't turn the ball over? Going off tovs, picking CC up so far is exactly the right move. If you did that to PB, she'd punish you.

@ForGoodAri @sharkiowa @GuruLakers “Ball security” Caitlin picked Paige’s pocket 4 times last game they faced off “Can move offball” doesn’t explain why she isn’t picked up until the 3-pt line

Let's goooo
