The NCAA or ESPN, or whoever makes these decisions, is doing a disservice to women's hoops by making these teams come back at 3:30 Sunday afternoon. 

Any reason that can't be a night game? Is Sunday Night Baseball that important? 

It's on ABC anyway -- why can't it be in prime-time? Women's semis and final used to be Sunday-Tuesday.

See for me that's the thing the women play on an ESPN network and the guys play on CBS primetime and with good announcers. The only ESPN announcer I knew last night was Rebecca Lobo the guy with her I've heard before doing other sports but ESPN could do more in the highlighting the women's game but then the men draw in more marketing.

I've known Ryan Ruocco for a while, he's pretty good. Let's get some new blood into the announcing game.

Kind of a guideline:

Games needed to be played an hour earlier on Friday and play at either 7:00 or 8:00pm on Sunday.

Disadvantage Iowa (ridiculous and advantage for LSU) because Iowa game finished at midnight.  Then, play at 3:00pm Sunday.  
 

Major tv networks need to pick up major women college (not pro) basketball games throughout season.  Like a regional game of the week type scenario for each major conference for the best teams.

I agree now for me the other piece is side line announcing don't get me wrong I like Holly Rowe I just don't know why they have it the coaches interviews look awkward.

I agree with this one more exposure for the women's game would be helpful so many games aren't on the major networks and are usually on the conference networks during the season.

There’s a lot of other stupid junk aired on tv stations that maybe (to a specific audience) that has little interest from the regional market aired to that is simply forced down peoples throats.

 As much as I hate Katlin Clark's antics I can't root for LSU and don't think they can beat this Iowa team anyway.Hats off to who may be the best female basketball player I've ever seen and Go Big.

Still don't like her though.LOL

Caitlin Clark and Company charge ahead to March Madness Tournament National  Championship representative of big ten the best Ladies basketball conference this year.

as this IU Ladies fan cheers for you as IU Ladies are Big Ten Conference Regular Season Champs.

At the peak of his coaching career Bob Knight once said it is a bigger reward to win the regular season conference championship than a tournament.  Today’s March Madness takes a 6 games win streak.

Iowa is known at times for loose defense.  LSU is playing with Mulky personality having a happy party.  Friday night  Iowa game ended around midnight Friday night.  Then, playing again 39 hours later. LSU game ended at a more reasonable time and more fresh.  Quickness and beating Iowa at Iowa’s game.  LSU player showing up Clark and Iowa this time as she and LSU with that kind of shooting….confidence, swagger (Mulky personality all year long)
