Its true womens collegiate basketball has a long ways to go, but its come a helluva long ways. The players continue to get more athletic and capable, and its a matter of time before more more schools become competitive with the powerhouses, just like the dispersion of talent now in the mens tournament.
Tolivers fadeaways under pressure were amazing. And anyone see the college 3pt shooting contest a week or two ago? The women's winner absolutely smacked down the men's winner head to head, missing only 4 3pt shots out of the 25 total balls.
Its just wrong to compare womens basketball to mens, because womens sports overall was so underfunded and underparticipated for years. Now with more funding towards it, with lots of help from title IX as well, the level of womens play continues to escalate in quality of play, as well as commercially. And not to mention, the womens final was more exciting than any of this years men's final 4 games.
