Fast forward to 7:40 for Start of Louisville.
Fast forward to 28:10 for start of UConn

An Obervation: Jeff Walz when he first got the job as Louisville Head Coach had a Stuttering Problem. Now its hardly noticeable. Wouldn't know he had one.

 

[Crossover]

I encourage everyone to watch Geno's response to the final question. He is as unguarded and revealing as I have ever seen.

Geno was very emotional but had a grip on his emotions so tightly that he seemed somber at times. The last question brought some out. I bet he shed a couple tears today

 

[HuskyNan]

I just love her personality

 

[VA Huskie]

Well worth listening to. Loved Christine’s patting Lou on the shoulder and saying “I love you man”.

Man, Katie Lou is such a pro at interviews at this point in her career.

Christyn is just the opposite. She is delightfully fresh and funny. Always love listening to our kids after the game.

Thank you @hoopsfan22 for throwing those happy, happy interviews up here. Been a year of the toughing it out for our crew and it was a great team effort that brought this on home. And they deserved to hoop around a bit too:

No more brain space.

I like Jeff Walz, even if Muffet doesn't. In fact, I may like him more because she doesn't. He's very generous with praise and clearly very fond of his players. He doesn't disrespect other coaches and players, as Muffet does. If Muffet were on this board, she'd probably be banned.
Lou has endured so much physically and emotionally in her 4 years, anything good that happens for her is more than deserved. Her one NC found her sitting on the bench with a broken ankle; the next two FFs were genuine heartbreakers. Sometimes good things happen to good people. If she gets her own NC this year, I may not be able to contain myself with the joy of it all.

Tough but such a very rewarding season


This captures it a bit.

'At times, I felt that I just want to coach one player and have the other 10 transfer'

Great press conference by both coaches. Nice of JW to give Megan Walker her due.

Geno well spoken as always.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

"Incredibly joyous." That's how Coach Geno felt when they won this game. His third most joyous experience after his first national championship in 1991, and after the 1995 championship. This was next in terms of being "incredibly joyous."

An amazing win. One of the best ever in the tournament. And even more special because of, what Coach Geno called "the pain" in Katie Lou, both physical and emotional.

Well worth listening to. Loved Christine’s patting Lou on the shoulder and saying “I love you man”.

It was so genuine and spontaneous that I teared up.

Well we know who the 1 was, Pheesa. Lol.

 

[Woof 101]

Walz is very much out of the Geno mold, class act. Straight up, comment @ 20:40, #*it happens says it all.

1991 wasn't a NC. It was their first FF and they lost to top seed Virginia, 61-55 in the semis.
