Tenn-Miami -- great start!

Also, I don't know how big her scoring or minutes were, but Marion Jones for NC in '94(?).

That's the one. Good call.

I love it - a little back-and-forth between Stanford and UT fans on the Boneyard - Just gimme some popcorn

Yep good call guys. I'd also say that that particular tournament lined up for Maryland. They got the right draw, got hot at the right time, and then the right opponents lost before having to play them. I'm thinking particularly about TN and LSU. Both teams would have beat Maryland that year. MD caught lightening in a bottle.

Anyhow, it is a rare occurrence indeed.

If memory serves Tolliver hit a 3 at the buzzer (against Duke?) to put the game into OT and Maryland went on to win.

Yep. That was one incredible game. She hit a falling/drifting 3-ball near the right baseline at the end of reg.

I haven't heard about Catchings. I hope she does the best thing for her.

excellent post

gee, I wonder why?.....

The same reason Stanford beats good teams at home. Always nice to have the home court advantage with the fans and the refs.

Marion Jones played significant minutes in 1994 and was a very good point guard. IIRC, it was Jones who inbounded the pass to Charlotte Smith that Smith drained for the winner against Lousiana Tech in the national championship game.

It does happen but even in that run to the title the were games where it almost blew up.
