Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3541245, member: 1220"] It was precisely when they got the closest that a series of very bad calls went against FS. Those changed not only the momentum but the completion of the game because FS was forced to foul. Which is what decided the final score. It was much closer than the score indicated. As I said I had no dog in the fight so my perspective was rather objective. I am not saying that SC did not play well enough to win the Nattie, just that they got quite a few breaks along the way. In fact, there are quite a few teams that needed breaks to win their Nattie's. Most teams just are not that much better than the field that they can win without some help. What I do see is a coach and a fan base that has gone over the top with their evaluations of their own teams. I mean building a statue of a player just because she was instrumental in winning one Championship. That says quite a bit. If UConn or perhaps Tenn did that they wouldn't have enough space for the statues. Modesty always sits well. [/QUOTE]
