Nothing says Easter Sunday like the Women's Final Four. I must now admit that I'm watching my 3rd women's game of the year. The others were Georgetown's loss to Rutgers in the Big East Tournament and Georgetown's loss to Baylor in the 2nd Round of the NCAA Tournament.
It was during that Baylor game that I realized that the Bears had a giant in the middle. A 6'8 freshman shot blocking machine that goes by the name of Brittney Griner. I mean she had 14 blocks against the Hoyas. Georgetown shot a whopping 17% from the field.
Insane.
Then they beat Tennessee and I figured they were legit. I made sure to tune in tonight and see if they could ride Griner into the National Championship game. Turns out they couldn't.
Look normally I laugh at women's hoops but there is something mesmerizing about a player blocking 10 shots a game without even really jumping. I'm like a moth to a flame now.
Too bad that the rest of her team sucks. So many turnovers, missed layups, and just overall panicking to get the win.
Do women leave early for the WNBA Draft? If so, I gotta figure she is off like a prom dress.
