Figured I’d start a thread in honor of these talented ladies. What a massive win in ND against the 15th ranked team!

Big picture women’s hoops rant: I’ve never understood why a lot of men feel the need to make a big show about not liking women’s basketball. I’ve seen it my whole life though, and even now it’s all over social media.
Yes, they’re not tall and can’t jump. In some ways that makes the game better? If you really like the fundamentals and technique aspects of the game, that is. How many men suck at basketball but get D-1 scholarships because they’re 7 feet tall? We have like 3 of them on our team every year.
Freak athleticism - even the best athletes don’t seem to gain the same advantage from it in the women’s game? IMO. Not being able to just jump over people - it takes that much more skill and teamwork to get a good shot off. I think it’s a more fundamentally sound and skill based game where the little things matter more.
The men’s game and women’s game are very different, and everyone can like what they like - but I don’t really respect people as b-ball fans when they go out of their way to shit on the women’s game. If I see one more scrub who can’t hoop at all and never could and hasn’t run hard for any length of time in 5 years, try to claim he can beat good women’s b-ball players….lolsmh.

If you don’t enjoy watching Caitlin Clark then you don’t really enjoy basketball.

Lady’s hoops sadly lost to VT today. But it was a ranked matchup so it shouldn’t hurt them too badly

Maybe the Women's team can redeem the mens and get a win today.

Hopefully they can beat GT at home Thursday, which would set up a monster home game Super Bowl Sunday at Noon with Louisville.
I’ll definitely try to make it to that one.

At least someone’s not a total embarrassment.
