Just a wild stat.
The competition in women's basketball is utterly terrible, especially when he started his career. Despite being the best ever, you really only have to worry about a handful of games every year.Here’s another stat that sounds fake but its true. Geno is now 1149-149 in his career. He’s 1000 games above .500
Like…what?!?
First off, I disagree with your statement, womens basketball has seen a lot of parity over the last decade, but per your point, if it’s that easy shouldn’t more teams be able to figure out the formula? La Tech and Tennessee were both dominant for years, but couldn’t sustain. SC seems like they’ve been dominant forever, but yet this is only their second title game in program history. To be a CT basketball fan and not appreciate what Geno has done and basically have the “anyone could do it” mentality doesnt make you a basketball fan.The competition in women's basketball is utterly terrible, especially when he started his career.

How easy is it to have huge run streaks and beat almost all opponents game after game without losing focus or just have a bad shooting night? Especially when all of the opponents circle the date and play like it’s their personal Final Four game.The competition in women's basketball is utterly terrible, especially when he started his career.

I don’t get this take. If it was terrible, it was terrible for everyone including UConn. He had to separate the school and then hold that advantage for decades with other schools doing everything they could to catch up.The competition in women's basketball is utterly terrible, especially when he started his career.

The crazy thing about that 15-0 stat is that all happened over the course of the last 27 years.
Depends on the quality of the opponent, and in this case it is very poor.How easy is it to have huge run streaks and beat almost all opponents game after game without losing focus or just have a bad shooting night?

He, as is K, was a big time cheater.We've been extremely blessed (both teams) when we get to the biggest stage. Only thing comparable to that is UCLA's run in the Wooden era. (Ten NC game wins in 12 years without a loss)
To win the NC, all they have to do is beat three #1 seeds in a row.Depends on the quality of the opponent, and in this case it is very poor.
I think I recall that Arizona did that in the men's tournament, and at that time it was the only time it had been done.To win the NC, all they have to do is beat three #1 seeds in a row.
That's all.
I think it has been done a few times on the women's side because historically lower seeds didn't have much chance to advance to the final four. Even with today's supposed increased parity in the game, 3 of the 4 #1 seeds still made it.I think I recall that Arizona did that in the men's tournament, and at that time it was the only time it had been done.
