Message: [QUOTE="connie, post: 2195598, member: 7882"] Watching with the sound turned down (or as if you are passionately rooting for the other team) is a great way to see the game from a different perspective. Really changes what you think you are seeing. And yes, MSU won it on defense (hence, our season [I]low [/I]in assists, on a team that broke assist records, and 2nd lowest point total of the season). And MSU made their shots. But we also missed too many FTs and [I]many [/I]shots that almost always go in--any one of which would have changed the outcome ("Of all sad words . . ."). Napheesa, unfortunately, had what must have been her poorest shooting performance of the year. 4 baskets. 2 FTs. 11 points. Phees shot 67.8% on the season. She shot 36.4% against MSU. Gabby the Lion-Hearted had one of the greatest games of her career, plagued only by too many turnovers (again, credit MSU's defense). Lou logged all 45 minutes, 5 rebounds, a couple blocks, and 15 points. Just one of those nights where, as they say, the basket had a lid on it. But for that, UConn would probably have gone on to win the national title. (Just inconceivable that coming off a near-death experience in the final four we would repeat the performance in the championship.) 5 titles in a row. ongoing 113 game winning streak. 38-0 season. Poof. Up in smoke. [/QUOTE]
