I wondered if anyone else noticed, during the broadcast of the Mich-CC game,
a comment made regarding scores/results in other venues to the effect that
one of the NCAA Women's Basketball SEMI-FINALs attracted 22,000 fans!?
I'm reasonably sure I heard it correctly; you might consider it an indicator
of the difference in popularity of basketball and hockey. Having watched
(pieces of) women's B-ball games while channel-surfing, I have to admit that
I'm impressed with the skill level, intensity, and spirit of the women's
game, but ...!!! For a SEMI...!!!
And despite an almost utter disregard for roundball, I felt I had to watch
the UMass/Ky game (as a Massachusetts resident), and the Syracuse/KY final
(slow night on the tube). Did you also notice the NINE
full-length-of-the-court writer's tables ranged at courtside (five deep on
one side, four on the other)?! It's sad but true: we have a long way to go
before hockey draws as well, nationally, as bball does. If ever.
