I am excited about it to an extent, I like NBA basketball and watching how much better CC is than other womens players kind of reminds me of seeing a masterful NBA player. I felt that way a bit when we had Soares doing some things in the paint that were next level too.
Why not? It seems like womens basketball has always shot itself in the foot by having a small handful of programs be so dominant. I didn't watch the entire game but watching lengthy highlights of most of the baskets it's pretty clear it was so much easier for South Carolina to get a whistle when they made a shot and drew contact. On one play I'm sure some ISU fans hate seeing CC complain to the ref, but she had a great point that she got hit hard on a made basket and on the other end their bigs were getting plenty of and one opportunities.
Same thing if some Iowa fan had his day ruined by Brock Purdy having the best QB stats in the weeks he played NFL football...I mean how freaking grouchy of a life is that? It seems pretty common but it's weird.
