So has Aari just erased Nixon? She has 3 today.

Stick a Fork in Coach Gary Blair and his Texas A&M Aggies. They are DONE!

 

[Kaizen]

Arizona can just use the time and they will win the game..

Fantastic job, Adia.

In many ways, Arizona reminds me of Mississippi State and how we rose. Players bought in to Adia's initial vision, not always the most star studded team, no guarantee of any success, little to no prior women's basketball history, but they've managed to rise up out of the ashes and elevate into a really competitive team.

Whether they'll reach the heights that Vic did, I dunno. But if there's a good a year to do it, it's this one. If you want to get to a Final Four, it's easier to do it on Indiana than UConn, Baylor, Stanford, or Maryland.

As for A&M, I always felt they were overrated the whole year. They're not dominant despite their record. Their 1 championship is more and more starting to look Vic led.

Ok now it’s over

Two minutes to go 72-59 Arizona with the lead

 

[Vowelguy]

National semifinal next week will be Goliath (UConn Baylor) vs David (in az).

 

[Kaizen]

God is fair, TAM should not be even in this game ...

 

[mdmiller6]

McDonald is everywhere, its going to be a good game Ind vs Ari

 

[Vowelguy]

Shoutout to Joan Bonvicini of So Conn St

 

[DeeHusky]

Missouri St, Arizona, Texas, Indiana, Georgia Tech are all teams I expected to be gone by now. Good tournament

 

[nwhoopfan]

Several called this upset. I wasn't feeling it. SOOOOOOO happy to be wrong! Great job Cats. Refs couldn't pull this one out for A&M apparently.

edit-- @azfan must be dying a little bit inside right now

 

[Vowelguy]

Adia Barnes has done a phenomenal job

not so bad for Teri Moran either

funny to see the TAMU seniors crying as though their season shouldn’t have ended twice within the last six days alone

 

[FridaFriend]

Troy would have defeated Arizona.

Texas A&M got what they deserved.

 

[triaddukefan]

Bad night for me

 

[CTGirl15]

It will be the first ever Final Four for either Arizona or Indiana. In a season when it was thought that 6 or 7 teams had separated themselves, thats pretty cool!

 

[Plebe]

How many people two weeks ago that thought Arizona and Indiana would be playing for a Final Four berth.

I like to see how ESPN saying how good Dixon is, oh she has 3 pts today not bad.

She can share a box of Kleenex with Cunane.

 

[geewago]

A&M just ran out of good refs to play for them.

 

[Sched234]

I hope Ashley Joens is laughing over a bottle of wine right now.

It's never funny to see a female cry

This seemed like a wacky year that could have some unexpected teams making deep runs. Haven't really been that many, but at least this Region has the non traditional factor going for it.
