I'm a huge Lady Vols fan and a longtime fan of women's BB in general. Honestly though, it pains me to try to watch most women's BB except for contests between teams at the very top of both college and the WNBA.

Outside the very top levels it appears that even the basic skills aren't there in high enough levels to keep way more games than should be little more than a painful-to-watch comedy of errors.

I've hoped and hoped for many many years that this would change and overall skills/game qualites improve enough to make most any game a fan elects at random to watch an enjoyable experience.

So far though, that doesn't appear to me to be the case, and until the bottom 85% or so of the women's teams/players close the skills gap on the top 15% it won't be.

I really do hope that the WNBA can keep afloat until this does happen so that we fans can continue to enjoy watching the play of not only the Catchings's and Parkers, but also the Spencers and Hornbuckles.

Do you folks responding to fifet know what a 'troll' is? Feeding it won't make it laugh itself to death; the only way to deal with it is to completely ignore it.

But probably most everyone already knows that--just a little restraint, folks, is usually all it takes. :-)
