That tells you how important the sport is nationally. It's just the way it is. I used to actually tune into the Tennessee-vs-Connecticut games when they were still played annually, but now that they are not, I watch zero women's basketball. Jim should have been given a medal and unlimited money for sticking with the sport this long.
The only time I watched a couple games was when Candace Parker was at Tennessee.

But for the most part the individual games are very uninteresting, and the competitive landscape as a whole has very little to offer.

Here are the champs for the past 20 years

1993 Texas Tech

Baylor is in there twice and then everything else is either Uconn or Tennessee
I believe this is the only time that OSU was even in the NC game, and that was primarily due to Katie Smith.

cGuff's record is 255-99 over the last 11 years. Foster was 279-82 over the same period. We'll see if he can do any better in the post season.
