@All_N_Yo_Tweets She doesn't write this if UConn wins

Sabreena Maerchant always on the wrong side of everything. What is this?!? The tournament is about grit and grind to get to the next round, it’s not gonna be perfect basketball. We’ve seen that on the men’s side, Michigan has been blowing teams out. This is so distasteful

@ttg626 @TylerSchrepfer @michaelmcgee The original tweet I commented on wasn't about revenue so you created that argument. You don't dictate nothing round here 😂😂

@alluringAP @TylerSchrepfer @michaelmcgee You're making a different argument. Lol. We are talking about women's CBB being established as a revenue generator and interest drawer for FANS. Not whether or not HS girls will still want to play CBB (obviously they will).

meanwhile the men's final four featured matchups where: - both teams shot under 36% from the field - a team, ranked no. 1 for weeks, was down by 30 with under 7 minutes to go where is the commentary about the future of the men's game?

@ttg626 @TylerSchrepfer @michaelmcgee You brought up revenue as one of your terms, no different than the argument against the W players getting paid. So many young girls are waiting in line for their turn to play college ball and go pro. When that stops then we have a problem.

@alluringAP @TylerSchrepfer @michaelmcgee Women's basketball "being around" a long time does not mean it is established in terms of POPULARITY and REVENUE GENERATION. That is what we are talking about here. And the revenue disparity is not due to "racism" and "sexism." Women also generally prefer to watch men's hoops

@gradeafun @Jay_3shifty You don't have to do it all game, and SC plays enough players for it to work.

@Jay_3shifty Because you have to ask yourself, can you maintain that long enough for it to be effective without wearing yourself out. I know people believe these athletes are robots but they are humans who get tired. Also, it's likely they assumed UCLA would be prepared for it. SMH

Seeing how bad ucla handled Texas pressure.. why would the gameplan not be to press and trap and force the game to be at a wild pace.. I truly don’t get stuff like that

@Jay_3shifty Questions that need answers.

@alex_abads @phxsunz25 And the men's final 4 wasn't? Both games were boring and the camera angles were horrendous.

@phxsunz25 tbf, ucla/tex was visually horrendous

alright man lmaoooo

@ttg626 @TylerSchrepfer @michaelmcgee Women's basketball is well established, been around as long as the men. As long as racism and sexism exist there will be a revenue disparity regardless of the product. Final 4s from all sides were shaky and that Indy arena and camera angle is as awful as it gets.

@alluringAP @TylerSchrepfer @michaelmcgee "Growing significantly" does not mean "established." A child being "growing" doesnt mean they are already tall. It means they are headed in the right direction and *COULD* be tall one day. Right now there are barely any profitable women's CBB teams (unlike the men).

@ttg626 @TylerSchrepfer @michaelmcgee That doesn't mean the women aren't established. Read that last sentence.

@alluringAP @TylerSchrepfer @michaelmcgee ...

@webside5 @WBBfanz They got in the paint and missed shots.

@WBBfanz When South Carolina cant dominate the paint they struggle because they really don’t have an auto bucket getting on their team like a Booker, Blakes or Cotie

Where do you go after back to back blowout losses in the National Championship. Throw in the blowout against Texas in the SEC. This is 3 straight instances of failing to show up when it matters most. When do we start calling it a pattern and how do we fix it??

@gemsinthegym @yanab0015 Facts, but still...

@yanab0015 I actually think this team overachieved overall.

A 30 piece in the national championship game is crazy. Two years in a row is worse. Dawn got to get in the lab this summer and figure out why we keep underperforming when we get to the championship game. This will be the 2nd year in a row we've got to this point and had no fight.

@yanab0015 Preach!!

@smatthewbreeden @michaelmcgee The camera angle was treacherous.

@michaelmcgee I watched some of the Illinois UCONN game yesterday and it had been a while since I watched a men's NCAA game with good teams. The players looked hillariously gigantic. For some reason that doesn't happen with NBA games. Not sure if spacing or camera angle or what

@TylerSchrepfer @michaelmcgee Just making stuff up 😂

@michaelmcgee Because the men are already established and the women are trying to establish themselves

@apenandanapkin @UConnWBB @GamecockWBB @TexasWBB @UCLAWBB You wrote a dissertation full of bull💩. Gtfoh

I coached women's basketball for 27 out of my 28 years, so this is important to me. Four things, to be clear: 1. I did not watch @UConnWBB vs. @GamecockWBB 2. Whatever happened between Geno and Staley was not good. 3. I did watch @TexasWBB vs. @UCLAWBB 4. I don't have a dog in the fight. I literally could care less who wins the natty. Most are focused on Geno and Staley. To me, the bigger story is the poor offensive basketball, largely spurred on by officiating that has allowed overtly physical defense. 62, 51, 48 and 44 points. By this history teacher's math, that's an average of 51 ppg. That is not good for the game. I get that the players can be tight/nervous, the scout is on point and sometimes teams have bad nights, but I've also seen and coached enough ball to know when the physicality is detrimental to the game and the product. That happened last night, by most unbiased accounts. I'm not saying they're shouldn't be physicality. I also don't want to see a 110-108 layup drill. You can allow for some physicality while also allowing for flow and freedom of movement. Grabbing and hugging off ball cutters, putting two hands on dribble drives or wrapping up a player trying to post up is not entertaining nor good for the game. I also don't believe in the argument of "we want the players to decide who should win". Basketball is and always has been a game of offensive skill, not about who can out-shove the other team. There's other sports for that . . . Just call the game it was intended to be officiated. If it's a foul, call it. Don't allow teams to foul 100 times because they'll only call the most obvious 15-20. If they foul 100 times, call it 100 times. The players and coaches will adjust. These teams are awesome. The players are awesome. The coaching is top notch. But this is the game's biggest stage; let's put players in a position to display what they're capable of and, more importantly, to entertain and grow the game. 62-48 and 51-44 with a 20-17 halftime score won't grow the game. It will only stunt it. There. That thud you heard was me jumping off my soap box.

@Coach_Hickey5 Well those men's final 4 games were nothing short of a snooze fest.

Geno vs Dawn aside. Both of those games were ugly. Way too physical, low FG%, top players on all 4 teams playing poorly. Just not a good product for a final four.

@prmade313raised 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT WEAK ASS APOLOGY! APOLOGIZE TO DAWN FOR ACTING LIKE A BITCH!

@HBCU__ @trendyhoopstars She'll definitely play

@trendyhoopstars This is not good for Kim. She can justify losing current players by saying it was a bad mix, but losing Mickey Ds recruits is costly She better not go to SC either, became the front court is already loaded. She won’t play

BREAKING: OLIVIYAH EDWARDS HAS REQUESTED TO BE RELEASED FROM HER SIGNING WITH TENNESSEE. 😳 Edwards is the No. 2 player in the 2026 class and previously chose the Lady Vols over LSU, South Carolina, Washington, and USC.

@DatNigga_BFllli @McFuckingDaniel @Bakari_Sellers 🤷🏾‍♀️ x.com/i/status/20405…

@alluringAP @McFuckingDaniel @Bakari_Sellers She told you that?

Hear me out. Tennesse should’ve never fired her.

@GeorgiaVol007 @Ro_Co_Vols You might know a little something!!

@alluringAP @Ro_Co_Vols She will not be going to UT. Bookmark it.

Serious question…Kim Caldwell is losing her entire team a year after barely going .500. You usually give a coach 3 years to get their own players and system in order…well she has no players and the system hasn’t worked…why are they keeping her around?

@_jaynoesta I'll allow it😂😂

@alluringAP lemme be delusional a lil bit 😭

If USC win on Sunday, I need them to take that Coach of the Year award away from Shea Ralph. 4 new starters, 2 of whom were new to the program. 2 out for the season either ACL tears. Fewer games with the full roster than without full roster. Dawn Staley, take a bow girl.
