    Edie is not a 1st round pick..
    Slow and bad hands.

    Combination of Chris Dudley/Joel Pryzybilla on the offensive end. Atrocious.

    The only reason you'd draft Edey is if you think he could guard Wemby. Since nobody can, I don't see the point.

    Clingan seems like a better prospect than Eddy.

    Yes. Also stronger bench.

    I thought that Iowa got tired. Gamecocks definitely used their bench and it made a bunch of difference.
    Better, bigger and stronger team.
    IMO the best team won.
    No knock at all on Clark or any of the Hawkeye's.
    It was a great season for all of women’s college basketball.

    Calipari possibly leaving Kentucky to go to Arkansas. Seems like a step down, but maybe less pressure.

    South Carolina was the best team. The coach Blazers didn't hire.

    Tough to bring the first woman coach in to that situation. Probably a no win situation for her.

    I'd definitely take either Staley or Hammon over Billups for developing this young team.

    I thought UConn was better as well. They were just decimated by injury.

    But can you imagine the fallout? Dude is 79-160. If the first Female Head coach was sitting with that record the stigma would never wear off.
    Even Billups is going to hurt dealing with that record.

    Agreed. You really want the first female coach to walk into a good situation. Ideally like Steve Kerr did.
