I will watch some LSU womens bball especially the big games or with a player like Caitlin Clark but that’s about it. Watching womens bball is like watching paint dry. Sorry.

I think this is the general consensus of most fans.

I watched the regular season LSU-USC game and watched the LSU-Iowa game, primarily for the drama. I did watch a little of the USC-Iowa game, but only because I have a daughter at USC.

These are the elite teams, but it's still not a good product. With the rare exception of a few players (Clark, and a couple from SC), there's just not much athleticism on display. The game is played entirely on the floor, there's no leaping ability to speak of by anyone.

Not trying to bash here, I've got two daughters and support women's sports.

But the product on the floor just isn't compelling enough to grab my interest, without some other reason to draw me in.

That’s what makes WBB more interesting than men’s to me. It’s a more pure form of ACTUAL basketball. The men’s game is nothing more than dunks and shooting 3’s now, with little defense. The athleticism is at an all time high, but the fundamentals of the game are missing. The women’s game has to depend on their fundamentals.

I get why people who enjoy the flashiness of dunks prefer the men’s game, but it’s just a not a pure form of basketball. I coached high school boys and girls and preferred coaching girls way more than boys because they actually cared about learning the game, playing as a team, and developing fundamentals.
