Why I Skipped Men’s March Madness (But Couldn’t Stop Watching the Women’s)

I’m not exactly sure why, but I didn’t watch a single game of the men’s March Madness tournament this year.
And yet—I devoured the women’s bracket like it was a Netflix binge.

I watch a lot of NBA and WNBA, but for some reason, I just can’t get into men’s NCAA basketball. Maybe it’s the pace, maybe it’s the style of play… but the women’s side? That tournament was beautiful.

The women’s game gave us everything this year:

🔹Pure talent

🔹High-level execution

🔹Intense matchups

🔹And real emotion

I noticed more and more women pulling up from three, but I also love that power forwards and bigs still have a strong presence in the paint. I have a soft spot for that old-school basketball feel, and it’s still alive on the women’s side.

After an incredible tournament, we now have a dream final:
South Carolina Gamecocks vs. UConn Huskies.

Will Paige Bueckers cap off her final college season with her first NCAA title?
Or will South Carolina crash the party and win their second championship in a row?

Personally, I think the Huskies are going to win big—maybe even in a blowout.
They’ve got way too much firepower. South Carolina is a well-oiled machine, no doubt, but I think UConn’s pace and shot-making will overwhelm them.

What about you—do you watch NCAA men’s and women’s basketball?
Or are you like me and just here for the women’s game?
