Couldn't agree more. It will be tough getting to sleep.

I thought it would be more comfortable than this for UConn but NC State is just hard to kill and they turn up their level of play when the game is on the line.

In the end UConn has Paige and NC State doesn't...

We came up from dinner on our cruise at 9:30
I went to the board in trepidation to find the outcome
Zip...
They're still playing???

 

[Zorro]

I think, all things considered, thismaybe the best bb game I have ever watched!

A! Michigan loss will help!

 

[Dawson]

Just feels so good to finally have an OT game go in our favor in the tourney.

Even if they had lost, it was still one of the best games I have ever seen. Geno said it best, "it is shame both teams couldn't go."

Finally, if this were for the championship this would be called the greatest game in WCBB history, and one of the greatest in CBB history. Just sayin'.

UNREAL !

 

[LarryLegend]

Shaquille ONeal once called Paul Pierce “The Truth”. I’d say Paige Bueckers has assumed that title

WOW!!!!!!!!

I'm exhausted. What a game - back and forth, back and forth.

All the best to Dorka. The replay told me all I needed to know.

Heading for the cabinet. It's time for a bourbon!!!

Cheers all.

On to the Final Four.

That last call on Edwards was a phantom.

Cunane kept asking the ref (our friend Benny Luna) for a foul and he finally accommodated her. However, the refs were good overall and I have no complaints

They will all sleep like rocks tonight. Championship or not...the NEAR future shines bright. We aint done yet.

Paige is so solid...really clutch. Congrats on a great win. I was thinking NC State was a bit overrated, but they were the proverbial cockroach.
I wish this game was located elsewhere; I don't think it factored in, but the detractors will point it out. Good luck in the Final Four!

I doubt that you would find a cardiologist in the Northern Hemisphere to agree with you.

 

[Zorro]

Crutchfield was out of her mind! Fortunatly, so were Paige azzi and AE.

 

[Geew1992]

WHAT A GAME!!

Speedy recovery to Dorka

That last call on Edwards was a phantom.

She whacked the NC state player across the stomach.

 

[CocoHusky]

Just a question - when was the last time Uconn won an overtime loss - I know they have lost 5 in a row in the NCAAs in this century with zero wins.

South Carolina last season.

This was a great game for the cardiology racket!!

I couldn’t watch. I was too nervous. So now I’ll watch the replay when it’s posted.

 

[Kat]

Hearing Dorka, on the floor, crying, made me cry. I expected this game to be close but wow. I want them to go all the way, of course, but don't need any more from this great group of players--this was so inspirational. So much heart in these young women, so much strength.

 

[Iluvacc2]

I'll admit, when it went to the first OT I thought the Huskies were spent, but Paige was all world. Also Azzi may not have shot that well, but her poise and calm demeanor shone through all night. That shuffle pass to Edwards was great, and speaking of AE like Geno said, that put back was HUGE! Props to the seniors, they battled all night and how fitting for Christyn to score the game winning basket.

That last call on Edwards was a phantom.

Eh, she pulled at the offensive player's midsection. It was a weak call but she didn't have to do that.

That said, I didn't rewatch it, but I thought there was a worse foul on Paige away from the basket right before she drove and threw up that floater that rimmed out.
