Sunday night at 7p.m. ESPN will feature the Women’s Final Four live from St. Louis and if you have not been watching the tournament then shame on you. There has been great drama and lots of wonderful storylines to follow.
Things get underway with Louisville vs. Oklahoma in game one to be followed by the much anticipated match up between Stanford and the favorite to win it all UConn.
Legendary Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt will join Trey Wingo, Kara Lawson and Carolyn Peck on set at the Scottrade Center during ESPN’s studio coverage of the semifinals on Sunday.
Mike Patrick will be calling his 14th consecutive Women’s Final Four and he will be joined by the very talented analyst Doris Burke. They do a fine job and heaven knows that Patrick is one of the best all around play by play men in the business. However when he decides to step aside it would be great to see the Pam Ward get a chance to do the broadcasts. Just a suggestion for the future.
Throughout the coverage of the Women’s NCAA the network has been doing a wonderful job with a creative interactive element.
Rebecca Lobo will continue to post “Tweets” on her Twitter page with off-court thoughts about her day-to-day experiences in St. Louis at http://twitter.com/RebeccaLobo. I strongly recommend that you follow Lobo and shoot some Tweet’s her way she just might answer you.
The Women’s National Title Game will be played on Tuesday at 8:30p.m. on ESPN.
