When I read this, I could not help but remember the TROLL that trashed WCBB here about 2-3 years ago saying that: "Nobody watches or cares about WCBB." SMH. IMO, the Iowa/South Carolina game is for the national championship. The winner of THAT game should win the NC game on Monday.

You don't have to put something down to lift something else up. The NBA will be fine come playoff time.

The equivalent of the National Championship game

Reminds me of the semi-final when Stewie went off against ND...and Louisville stunned Baylor;
So the natty was almost an afterthought.

I believe, and I'd be willing to bet on it, that the Iowa/SC game will break all viewing records for college basketball, not just womens basketball, but college basketball in general. The last two Naismith POTY winners, an undefeated team, and the greatest and most exciting player of the season. If SC can't stop her, Iowa actually has a chance to win, and many fans who wanted UConn to finally lose will also be rooting for the same fate to SC. It's going to be a great game, and as I said, just about everyone will tune in to see the Boston/Clark battle on the national stage. I don't usually watch complete games once UConn is out of the picture, but I will be watching this.

Highly unlikely.

They still say this. Maybe not on here, but it's said A LOT
