So, I watched the Women's NCAA Final game last night. Congratulations to the Baylor Lady Bears on their championship and their 40-0 season. It was a most impressive victory over the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
A couple of observations....
- Brittney Griner certainly represents the evolution of women basketball players. What a force she is. She dominated that game last night more than Anthony Davis dominated the men's final game the night before. How long until more and more players like her populate the women's game?
- On the other hand, here's how the women's college game, as a whole, has not evolved. The Elite Eight of this tournament featured the four number one seeds against the four number two seeds, and all four number one seeds won.
- The court itself, with the depiction of the Rocky Mountains on it, may have been artistic, but I found it rather distracting while watching.
- ND Coach Muffet McGraw paced the sidelines in front of the bench wearing three inch spike high heels. That really had to be uncomfortable.
- I also applaud Coach McGraw for recognizing the inevitable at about twelve minutes into the second half, and allowing the game to play out without ordering her players to foul and having the game extend itself with endless trips to the foul line.
