Hey Ladies!

While the ACC men predictably fell well short of the Final Four this year, the women did nearly the exact opposite. Three of the four entrants in the women's Final Four are ACC teams. Very impressive indeed!

UNC will play Maryland and Duke will face LSU on Sunday. Obviously that means we could see something that has never happened before, Duke-UNC in the NCAA Tournament. In the finals, no less. Yeah, the women don't generate nearly the same intense interest that the men do, but that would still be a hugely important game for both sides. Talk about a trump card to settle any Duke vs. UNC arguments!

Looks like that got settled.

The lack of comments calls to mind the episode of "Family Guy" when Stewie uttered the memorable, "...no wonder no one takes the WNBA seriously." Just an observation.

In fairness, it was a very good championship game. No, I didn't watch it, but I saw the highlights and read the writeup. I meant to post a congratulations, but never got around to it.

In some ways women's hoops gets a bad rap. It can be a lot of fun to watch. My parents used to have season tickets to Virginia (men and women) back when Debbie Ryan had that program on top and those games were a lot of fun.
