Okay….who’s nervous?

I've been anxious all week. 😂 I can't believe when I was younger I was so much more "ho hum" about the FF/title games. I remember watching the 2015 title game on the gym TV because I wasn't going to miss my workout session! I've become neurotic in my "old" age.
 
You are going to do this without me at 5. We just collided with my superstition thing. There in spirit while probably watching a couple of episodes of The Closer.
 
Yep, the season might end tonight. I have thought about how I might have to take a break from twitter for about a week if the result doesn’t pan out the way that I want.

I have also tried to become comfortable with what has been achieved this season. Making it to the final four the year after Paige left feels like a great accomplishment. Sarah strong won national player of the year. And Azzi Fudd got that all American distinction she needed to get on the wall.

Super nervous. Glad these games are not in Fort Worth and hoping we've left the poor shooting behind. Also trying to remember that Azzi had off shooting last year in the S16/E8, and then came out scorching in the FF. I'm still 'glad' that we have South Carolina tonight rather than either Texas or UCLA and I'm really hoping that I dont live to regret that 7 hours from now.
 
Sorry, but I am not nervous. I have been predicting Uconn will be undefeated this year since the end of last year.I will watch the game play out for one of the BEST team that Uconn ever had. When we winn NO,13 ,I will also say that with the addition of Olivia and the emergence of Blanca, Uconn will go undefeated in 26/27 and win NO. 14. GO HUSKIES!!!!

I'll have a beer or two before I hit the last couple of levels.

I am nervous and will not watch the game live. My husband watches it while I go into our bedroom, shut the door and watch happy shows. His instructions are if we are ahead by 20 points with 2 minutes left, let me know. Otherwise, I just watch the replay.

I am chain smoking chocolate. I probably will not watch the game. I’ll check in on the score every once in a while. If it looks like Connecticut has a comfortable lead, I might watch the end of the game. I am crazy stressed by big games and firmly believe that every time I turn the game on something bad happens.

Heck, I’m nervous, and I’m not playing. Good thing I’ve never been on the stage like this….. I would be shooting bricks from nerves alone. Let’s do this! Go Gamecocks!

I always found playing basketball, irrespective of the stakes, not to be an anxiety inducing thing. Watching on the other hand is anxiety inducing. I have no ability to impact the game. When playing basketball the fans and their noise disappeared. There was too much action on which to focus. Playing baseball was different. It is slow paced game.

If the UCONN players have any pregame jitters, they gone less than ten seconds into the game. If they feel any nerves during a game, it will be with free throws. All action stops. The crowd reappears, and thoughts of the game stakes may creep into the player's mind.

I’ll watch a Hallmark movie rerun for the two hours of the game and then die just once when I look at the final score
Why Hallmark? It’s absolutely positively guaranteed to have a happy ending 😙
 
I reached the stage a few years ago that I just appreciate that my school has 2 teams that are often (ok, the women pretty much always) get to the last weekend of the season. Of course I want them to win, but I will miss them more than be nervous about the game. Probably.

If we’re sitting on edge I can’t imagine how the team feels. If it was anyone but SC, I would feel better. But I don’t like this matchup at all

I would expect the UConn coaching staff and players would have spent a lot of time looking at the tape of the SC-TX SEC final (which, by the way was in South Carolina). Vic, like Geno is a master of defense and apparently saw a weakness to exploit that resulted in a solid win 78-61. TX got off to a great start, shooting 68%, building a big lead and then held SC the rest of the way. Not to worry...
