I feel the passion in both the men's and women's games is extremely high - neither collectively is any better but, understandedly, some games are more fever-pitched, hyped-up than others. The Regional Finals games were more exciting for the women than the men 'this year,' but not all years.
Both traditionally have mostly lousy opening weekend games, with very few upsets. This year there were way more upsets in the opening rounds for the men (or at least it seemed that way, with several 12 & 13 seeds winning in Tampa). Traditionally, it seems the women usually advance mainly Seeds 1 to 5 to Sweet 16, and then men advance about 2-4 lower seeds(6-12 or so).
That makes for a more exciting opening weekend for the men (with all the upsets) and a more exciting Sweet 16 for the women, with very few underdogs making it the Regional Semis, and oftentimes better games.
