And she CAN shoot…..
Watching her and the rest of the Iowa collegian woman play basketball IS Wonderful….
I don’t think they can beat South Carolina ….
But THAT does NOT take away from Clark’s play and Woman’s College Basketball….
Two years ago, I could never have predicted the hype which surrounds tonight’s NCAA women’s basketball Final Four.
It was only last year that this casual, although at times serious, sports fan met a basketball hall of famer and didn’t recognize her. Fortunately, former NCAA head coach Muffet McGraw was kind enough to look past my transgression.
My inability to know who I was talking to is definitely on me, but my guess is that among most casual sports fans I wouldn’t have been alone at that time in lacking knowledge about women’s NCAA basketball.

I want you to look at that prior sentence again and fully digest it. Women’s college basketball is beating America’s pastime. If that doesn’t say the sport has arrived in the American psyche, I don’t know what does.
Not surprisingly, the viewership for the Iowa-LSU game broke the all time record for a women’s game. It easily dethroned last year’s championship game between these two squads, which came in at a little under 10 million. Even more amazingly, that game, unlike Monday’s, was available for free on ABC….
