This, to me, is the biggest problem for women’s NCAA hoops:

”* The number of programs that have achieved competitive success nationally is small - there’s a lack of parity in the women’s game. Of the 343 DI schools, only 25 have made at least one Final Four appearance. She writes that “7 schools have 40 combined appearances among them”, but I don’t know where her data is coming from. Tennessee, Connecticut and Stanford alone have 43 total Final Four appearances. There are actually 37 schools since 1982 that have made at least one Final Four. Even so, I agree there is a real lack of parity in the women’s game.”

Whatever the reason, Marcus Smart coming back is part of a positive trend in college hoops
