The improvement in women's basketball in the last 20 years has been remarkable. My only hope for the women is that they do not use the men as a role model as the game continues to grow. That is not a road that they want to go down. I think there are several factors. That a small school can have a very competitive team because it doesn't take huge money like in football to field the team.
Real upsets happen.
I also think that people enjoy the intimacy of most college gyms. Of course, in the big time, that's becoming a thing of the past. I think that the best games are those that are played by teams that are evenly matched. That is why a game in the Patriot League, although not as athletic as a game in the NBA, ACC, the Big East, can be every bit as passionate and thrilling to watch. Your books are highly regarded as being more than just about the sports that they set out to talk about.
