Volleyball nets are lower for females at all levels. Golf tees are closer. But the logistics of have adjustable and/or lower hoops everywhere girls play make it impossible. Doesn't matter if you think the game would be better or not, it's just not practical.

Unless you want women's basketball everywhere to play at 10 feet, except for the WNBA playing at 9

Hey we're going to see it. Paige is a baller too. What a matchup.

These two and Sabrina will give the WNBA a real popularity boost.

Women sports need to study why Iowa/LSU matchup in the last 2 seasons has been one of the most anticipated/hyped matchup in decades IF NOT EVER...what other women sporting event has had some much hype&generated so much interest?

I am not entirely sure myself why I was looking forward to watching that game..no much interest left in the rest of the Wtournament

Sidenote: WomenVolleyBall is the most Underrated sporting event with all the grace, power and athleticism in display

It's kind of cool that the championship games on both the men's and women's side have come down to matchups of the best team vs. the best player. Should be interesting.

Clark is ridiculous. She is the female Steph Curry.

The freshman on SC, Fulwiley was dominating Iowa. SC would be wise to play her a large amount of minutes.

That's probably why I'm rooting against her. ;) Great quarter though.

Iowa is ridiculously over classed by South Carolina in almost every way imaginable, with Clark being the sole exception.

If Iowa actually wins this...
