Check out the highlights from last night's Rutgers versus Georgia clash in women's college basketball! Actually, don't. I tend to be a defender of women's basketball in general, but I'm probably spoiled watching a UConn team that averages more points per game than those two scored COMBINED in a horrible matchup of teams unable to put the ball through the hoop. The lowlight of the game was a Georgia possession that featured the team passing the ball back and forth around the three point line until the shotclock buzzer sounded and the team meekly went back to defense having never once glanced in the direction of the hoop.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Buffalo and Pittsburgh met in a fun affair that featured wild end-to-end rushes and Buffalo taking three consecutive pairs of penalties to give Pittsburgh a 5 on 3 advantage spanning the end of the first period and beginning of the second. When asked why his team chose to spend that much time down two men coach Lindy Ruff scoffed, "We knew the couldn't score anyway." Actually, that's not true at all. But Pittsburgh did spend most of their powerplay time imitating the Georgia women's basketball team, leaving the door open for Buffalo's exciting third period comeback. Check out this play from Evgeni Malkin leading to Pittsburgh's first goal. Just for the record, you can't do that.

Your second paragraph is much more interesting if one goes into it thinking that you were still talking about college women's basketball.
