The tournament became almost unwatchable to me. I know a lot of the bias towards particular programs is unconscious bias (not so much racial), and it doesn't help that the top-seeded teams get home court the first two rounds, but I ended up being furious after multiple games. I couldn't believe what the women were getting away with.

So the players enter the WNBA already accustomed to this.
