There are different styles of player and all of them can be great in their own way. For every LeBron there's a Kawhi who is not as skilled as Bron but my word when he's in a zone he can be unstoppable too. Reese does things that can beat the other three on any given day. If she man's up on those girls and gets physical with them it's gonna be a long night.

The hype that would surround a LSU vs Iowa rematch would be epic. Same as the buzz there would be if Juju and Paige cross paths. This is what the game needs. And another juicy nugget is the semi final could be Juju or Paige vs Clark or Reese aswell.

Anyone on the court should have been ejected, and fines levied on the school. Since there are NIL deals now, maybe fines to the players. you cant tell me LSU's coach helped the situation here.

If LSU and Iowa play again, Reese will be ejected. Unless there is an SEC bias. Like last year.

It will be a good game and will get hype. I don’t think angel is a bad player but she is definitely not in the same league as clark, juju, Paige. It’s like comparing Jokic or Shai to Zion. She does play for a team that has more talent across the board though. Any of the other intrigue is purely because of smack talk

If you're talking about the recent LSU vs Carolina fight then Carolina were the ones who started it. Cardoso and Reese were going at it all game and then Cardoso pushes Fla'ja to the floor and all hell broke loose. Angel wasn't involved as she was injured at the time. LSU vs Iowa would be tense no doubt. But LSU vs Carolina in the final would be an all out WAR imo .

But just because Reese might not be as skilled as the other three doesn't mean she's not just as effective as them. Yes the other three can take over a game and put 40 points up with no problem. But Angel can get you 27 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks and 4 steals whilst clamping down on the other teams best player late. Imo that performance is just as special as a 40 piece. We can't forget about defense.

They do that in WBB because neutral site games would be empty.

MBB has amazing neutral site crowds.

I've been to plenty of neutral games in the NCAA Tournament and they do not even compare to a meaningful home game. Its a damn shame. In most NCAA Tournament games half the crowd or more doesn't care about the game. Its a really really bad way to have a postseason.

Do you want to figure out who the best team is or are you more concerned with pandering to fans?

It's understandable that the female side still needs to pander to fans, results be damned, but the men's side can afford to do it right.

Figure out? We already know who the best teams are. The tournament isn't for figuring out who the best teams are. It should be to reward the best teams so they have the best chance at winning a national title.

Men’s bb early rounds are not that great for crowds. A lot of tickets go to locals there for the experience. And a lot of seats are empty because fans watch 1-2 games then bail on others. So you’ll usually see a pocket of rowdy traveling fans but then that same section is empty the next game. But that’s just what goes into planning for a tournament.
