Styles of play between mens and womens NCAA basketball is drastically different. Comparing stats seems to be a non-point especially since the 3 point line is different. I do, however, think that several womens teams could issue a beating to mens teams. They are great athletes and by discounting the validity of comparative statistics I do not mean to downplay them AT ALL, I just don’t think it provides a strong case for co-ed NCAA santioned or even exhibition matches. Not to mention the women would have everything to gain and the men would have everything to lose. Not happening anytime soon. Wish it would though.

It is a little ho-hum to watch UConn women’s basketball these days but on the flip side, they’re actually getting some attention from ESPN and you bet there are other coaches out there figuring out how they can get better and beat the Huskies. Instead of looking to men to offer the team a better game, let’s look at the Huskies as the team that will set the standard that other women’s college teams will strive for. Don’t give up on the other women’s teams. Someone will make another run — if not this year, then next. And then we will get the parity — and competition — that we are looking for.

Interesting idea. I wouldn’t mind seeing a UConn men’s vs women’s game. Sometimes these lady’s don’t get enough credit. For the most part, men think they could beat any women just because they are men. But playing in college and playing versus many guys in the past, I know for a fact that is not necessarily the case. My friend, who is male and has season tickets to the Liberty, says the women’s college games are getting boring due to lack of competition- and he is not being sexist. He’s just stating the truth.
