Skylar Diggins is GREAT for the Women's Game...

...and NOT just because she is pretty!!!!! A lot of people say that women's basketball is not as entertaining as men's but it sure does help that she is because it gets people to watch more than before.

Tonight's national championship between Diggins' Notre Dame and Texas A&M (shoutout to the other Aggies) is probably NOT the match-up that people wanted to see, as they may have wanted a rematch between Maya Moore's UConn and Stanford, who ended their 90-game winning streak. Honestly, I have not watched a lot of women's basketball this season or since I stopped playing in 2008. However, I have to support ANYONE who beats UConn as they did in the semifinals and I love a good upset.

I'm glad that there is a new star in women's basketball and I would compare her to Candice Parker and Candice Wiggins because they were both able to attract people to watch women's basketball because of their looks. I'm also glad that there are more teams in the conversation other that Tennessee, UConn, Stanford, and Baylor who were the #1 seeds this year.

In the past few weeks, my Twitter timeline has been full of comments about Skylar Diggins and how beautiful she is. Even my boo Chris Brown tweeted about her:

  • chrisbrown: Skylar Diggins ... She's a cutie @ congrats beautiful

I'm also happy to see comments about her game and comparing her to Maya Moore, who has led UConn to the last 2 championships and pretty much dominated the conversation in women's basketball. But there have also been some kinda rude but truthful comments about the game tonight.
  • Skylar Diggins gonna be the only reason imma watch this womens gme 2nite 
  •  I might actually watch the NCAA Womens Title Game Tonight Because Of Skylar Diggins' Sexy Ass
  • I'll  watch the game 2nite but I really just wanna look at Skylar Diggins
Either way, the more people watching tonight's game is better for women's basketball. If the game is good then people will like it and if they see a pretty girl, then it's all the more better.
