Message: [QUOTE="augustaTC, post: 2666460, member: 7216"] My last comments til next season. I think maybe the weakness of their conference hurts them in situations like tonight. I think it's hard to develop the mental toughness to succeed in games like this if you're essentially blowing people out the last month of the regular season. Geno can work their butts off physically, but how do you build the mental toughness to win the super close ones? Who knows. [I]High points for me this season[/I]: Crystal out of the shadows and showing everyone how great she can become. Z showing progress toward becoming a more complete player. And just watching this team over the last two years as they've come together. [I]Low points[/I]: Gabby and Kia going out like this, particularly Gabby who'll be seeing that last shot in her dreams. But they're good strong young women and this is just the end of one phase for them. Lots more goodness to come. I think the era of UConn's so-called domination is probably about done. Look at the closeness and caliber of the Final Four teams & coaches - starting to look a lot like parity. Bound to happen sooner or later. But what a 20+ year run. So great to have been able to witness it all. And I can [I]finally[/I] say that I've been holding my breath for 4 years that Gabby's knee would make it thru 4 seasons of WCBB. She has been such a joy to watch. What an athlete & person. Enjoy the spring & summer. [/QUOTE]
