Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 3841429, member: 175"] Some of it was just the feeling of the game at that point, with maybe romanticizing it a little. It really looked like it was over when Texas went up 6 - UConn was spinning its wheels, and hey, it was a great season reaching the Final Four after losing Sue, Swin, Ashja and Tamika, and no shame in a hard-fought loss (we had 3 titles in our history at that point, so we weren’t really “supposed” to win the way people think of UConn these days) And then DT flipped the script. The best single game performance I can think of before tonight might have been Nykesha Sales hanging 46 on Stanford, but it was a pretty comfortable win. Tara Van Der Veer had a quote that she wasn’t worried about not signing Sales because she had “six Nykesha Saleses coming in” which added to the enjoyment of the win, but since it wasn’t close, there wasn’t the do or die pressure that tonight’s game had. I‘m a little annoyed that the lucky bounce is making the rounds so much, because the plotline should be that down four late, Bueckers outscored the No. 1 team in the nation over the last seven minutes 13-5 all by herself.
