It's 12:55 right now. After the game Sunday night I was up until 2:30 a.m. I'm figuring I may be asleep by 2:00 tonight if I'm lucky. This is just so hard to decompress from. I think back to the Oregon and Georgia Tech and Villanova games and how tonight now seems so surrealistic.
All of those mistakes tonight were so exasperating. All of those bad or non-calls, none of that mattered in the end. They were just making soup out there tonight. After the vegetables are cooked, they all look perfect. Who cares what they looked like before. After the mistakes were made, the crazy thing was that the same player would come back and do something great. Paige makes two turnovers and comes back with a huge steal. Azzi turns the ball over twice and then makes 4 free throws in a row. Aaliyah does that out of bounds thing and makes a huge lay up and two free throws. Everyone stepped up one way or another at different points in the game including Evina with those 3 big first half 3s.
Looking back, this was only once a fantasy but now it is a reality. What an amazing season, what a great journey, what a great year to be a UCONN women's basketball fan.
