Great job, Diggs! You actually spoke during a highlight of a women's game. But you sucked on purpose.
When Stacy is talking to you, meet her question--sort of like you telling the players to meet the ball. You dragged ass. Yeah, you answered her question. Half-assed. Oh gee, you brought some credible information about Connecticut. Even a dumb ass could have said that Connecticut is going all the way. But you don't believe that. You are just throwing up a heave to shut critics up.
You are a researcher and when you do yresearch: you bring pros and cons to teams and how they utilize them against other team with pros and cons. Then you break it down the middle. At least that is how you do with the men's team. Instead, you gave flat answers without any "ball movement" involving your other hosts. You acted like George McGinnis in the 77 finals who didn't get others involved except when the game is close and use Rece as a bail out crutch like George did with Mike Dunleavy in tight situations.
Now that Bobby Knight is on your side, I think Bobby is less sexist than the media is given credit for women's basketball (yes, he is an admitted misogynist). I believe he is willing to critique "inbounds play" of Pat Summitt teams from the past and now the future. Bobby would talk about how the players would use steady pressure to get them to crack under pressure in the 80's and 90's. But with the progress of better players and athletes, Pat Summitt has to get after the inbounder a little more tenaciously. I believe he would use tapes and study them to prove his point. He does like basketball whether women or men play it. His wife is a former basketball coach.

North Carolina seems to be the better team with Alana Larkins as the head. Better ball movement and rotation on defense. Compared to the Ivory Latta one-woman offense from the past. Digger bad job.
Great job on your prediction about UConn, Diggs. Didn't factor those injuries on those starters for UConn, did you?
Coach Tara VanDerveer--
Please don't do with Mr. Calipari and your protege, Bobby Knight did at the end of games. Not call timeout when you got one and instead try to advance the ball from end to end with somebody throwing up a pathetic heave.
IF game is tied an you are at far end of the basket, please use a timeout to advance the ball the mid-court and set up a play. That is why timeouts exist for.
