I think if you look at the season rotation effectiveness posted by NycUcWbbFan, you'll see that the starting 5 of Serah, Sarah, Ash, Azzi, and KK has been the most effective. I'm NOT saying if a different group had been starters all year, that the new group might not be most effective, just that...

Huh? I tuned in to see basketball. I am annoyed when they focus on the player running up the court who just made a shot and we miss the actual basketball. Guess we each have our preference.

Could somebody remind me why anybody would want to take over after Geno retires? What is the upside, what is the downside? Pretty much, regardless of any success, the person would be considered a failure. Reading the Boneyard, it often seems even Geno is a failure! Why would Carla want this job?

Or better yet - How about NO color analyst. Just tell us what the call was and who the foul was on. Then silence. Further, we don't need the third person EVER. I really don't care about the second grade teacher's neighbor of any player or coach.

You seem to have forgotten that Notre Dame exiting earlier is NEVER a bad thing.

If Notre Dame holds on, then it will be only one remaining perfect bracket.

And then there were 5!!!!

The surprising (to me) team is Minnesota.

743,726.98 To some degree, this again shows how silly the quad idea is. Does it really make any difference between if a team is 29th or 31st? Are they really that different? Treating a win against #5 as the same as #29 (especially on the women's side) doesn't make lots of sense.

I find it astounding that people put a national championship solely on the shoulders (no pun intended) of a freshman and have little to no confidence in the rest of the players.

While Connolly accurately points out what happened, it's a very short sighted analysis. That exact same substitution pattern is what brought TN back from certain doom in the first half. That pattern had been working well up to that point in the game.

If you've watched her podcast, it has appeared she's been fighting a cold at a minimum for a couple of weeks.

I find this whole "quad" discussion to be rather silly. If you are a top 5 team, is there any functional difference between playing 25 or 100? The only difference might be how long you leave your top rotation players in vs lower bench to achieve whatever score you wanted.

I'm not sure messing with the DNA of the team is such a brilliant idea to make them better. It might just make them worse.
