Championship 2016: G A M E T H R E A D... Go Huskies!

Veni, Vidi, Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered)

But he didn't say it to the Senate, as the announcers said: he wrote it to the Senate. The point was that it was arrogant in its ellipsis and in its manner of communication.

 

[Adios]

I'm disappointed SU scored more than 50 points...

At least Syracuse fans do hate us more now. They are also saying crap about women's bball on their own message board since they lost to us.

 

[JellyBean]

They best be careful with that sword

LOL! I was worried too, to be honest

 

[BigBird]

Great game, but worst announcing crew ever! Can they just keep quiet?

No.

Polly put the cherry on the perfect sundae of a season - karma

Considering the pathetic lack of support and attendance for their women's program — even in this, their best-ever season — that's hardly surprising.

 

[BigBird]

Pulido scores with 12 seconds left!!

Love 'ya Polly!

 

[BigBird]

Geno knew what "old school" coaches alway believed. Teams that press often don't respond well to being pressed in return. Never more true.

I was nervous in the beginning. But they shut those fears of mind out with the quickness.

Wow! They did it y'all.

Tuck refuses to answer if she'll be back next year.. Stewie jumps in and says "it's a secret"

I said on two different threads that she wouldn't announce tonight because she doesn't want to detract from the team's celebration. She wants the moment to be for the we, not the me. That's just the way our girls are.
But now I fear that she'll be leaving.

No one has ever won five ...

I'm pretty sure someone started cutting onions or kicking up dust because when the trio was subbed out of the game, I got a bit teary-eyed. It has been an absolute pleasure watching these three play and grow over their four years at UConn.

Seriously? Sure I can live them hating us and they can talk crap about their program. But it seems harsh considering where Q has that program going. I mean the Cuse wbb program was a joke before he got there and he has slowly turned that program around and has them playing at a high clip.

 

[Lobo50Fan]

That picture needs to be a "Caption this" post...

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geno just cut down the net

 

[HoopsFan21]

Team dumps confetti on Geno

 

[JellyBean]

Well. Time to set the DVR to record the replay of the game (ESPNU at midnight) and enjoy title #11!!! Good night, boneyard family. Go, UConn Huskies!!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geno being carried off by team

 

[iri10]

Love the Marine sword thing!

LOL, it looked like she wanted to say something witty as she knighted them but forgot and/or couldn't think of it in time. If I had her ear and time, I would have told her to go with "I hereby dub thee, Knights of the Four Crowns."

 

[Jimbo]

What a wonderful night for this UConn team and, especially, all the seniors. Pulling off something that had never been done before and will likely never be done again. Simply incredible. The level of excellence this group and the UConn program as a whole have achieved is difficult to even grasp, let alone do justice to by any attempts to put it into words.

I will say only that, as a proud UConn alumnus and longtime fan, I salute all of them and thank them ever so much for all their sacrifices and contributions to their program and our university. They will always have my sincere gratitude and appreciation.
