How come in women’s college basketball, it is very rare for the elite teams to be upset by an unranked team?
In men’s college baskeball, Florida can be upset by Florida State, UCLA by West Virginia, North Carolina by Virgina Tech but this rarely happens in women’s basketball. Is this because there is more parity in men’s basketball? Do all the really good women’s players just keep going to Duke, Carolina, Maryland, Stanford, Tennessee, and UConn and everyone else is left in the dust? In the women’s NCAA tournament it plays more or less according to seeds and it won’t see a George Mason advancing to the final four. Why? Why? Why?
My theory is that there are not enough truly elite players for your second tier teams to pull upsets yet. As more women realize they can receive scholarships by playing basketball and certain players look for opportunities to really play- and not just sit on the bench for a UConn or Tennessee, they will improve. Just think, ten years ago it was Connecticut, Tennessee, Louisiana Tech, and everyone else. Now you have three elite ACC programs, Rutgers, LSU, Stanford, and several other teams who will make some noise in the tournament even though it eould be surpirsing if Duke or North Carolina didn’t win it.
