Stanford Postgame Thread

[UConn2SF]

Free throws have been a problem all season, but with the game on the line tonight they went 15-17 in the 4th quarter. I love this team.

 

[pghhuskydoc]

This is one gritty, gritty team. Everyone contributed. Great effort by the whole team.

 

[Centerstream]

Can't wait for @MJL243 to perform his magic!!!!!!!!
But I am going to wait patiently.

If you told me early in the season that "they just need to hit 94% hit of their pressure free throws in the 4th" I would have said "see you next season"

After watching SC in the first game, UConn can win this tournie.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Hopefully this was our clunker of the final four.

After everything this team has gone through this year. Who would have thought this possible three months ago. Who would have thought UConn would suddenly become a great FT team. Happy weekend to you all.

If you told me early in the season that this team would play two heart attack games down to the wire in the elite 8 and national semi-final without melting down with 8 minutes to play I would have never believed it.

Will those ESPN's analysts saying that Stanford will win have a good sleep tonight?

It's like being a weatherman - you get paid right or wrong, so probably.

 

[Dawson]

Regardless of the chats opinion, my POG are Liv and AE.

 

[Zorro]

The whole team should get a hefty NIL from the Cardiologists association!!!!!

 

[Hayven]

ESPN just mentioned only 11% of brackets got the final two teams correct

 

[tomcat]

How the hell did UConn win this game? 20 turnovers. An in-bounds mistake. Passes to nowhere. Let's just hope it's not a trend, that they got all that nonsense out of their systems tonight.

 

[huskeynut]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing more needs to be said. Stanford is a tough team that mirrors us.

Defense - defense - defense.

I still believe karma is in play.

BTW - a note to ESPN - your "experts" are not really experts. Ask Stacy Dales!!!

I know Napheesa got the final four right and she picked UConn to win it all against South Carolina.

 

[Dawson]

Already rewatching the game lol

 

[Iluvacc2]

Don’t underestimate the ability to hit free throws under pressure. Uconn made some silly plays towards the end, but shrugged it off and calmly knocked down their free throws.

 

[Stinger92860]

Living on the edge my friends. 2 #1s down, one to go.

Has any team ever beaten 3 #1’s to win a Natty?

You can’t beat 4!

 

[ProSkeptic]

Just for fun, I went over to Lady Vol Nation. Haters gonna hate indeed. They keep referring to AE as “that LSU girl (?)”. Must really suck to have to root for SC in the final.

 

[msf22b]

If they would have limited the turnovers,
it would have been an easy win.

 

[Childhood]

Respect. Stanford is Good.

I'm part of that 11%!

Love this team so much. They found a way to win another close game. One more game to go.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Intense. Say what you will. Look at all the numbers. It's who we are this year. Ugly, but together and winning. Enjoy the ride.

They are probably calling her that because of the color of her braids

 

[Amashutcha]

Respect. Stanford is Good.

The four of them were Team USA teammates. Lots of love right there.

 

[jaydee602]

Until that disastrous pass to Christyna & the in bounds fiasco, I thought Evina was player of the game. Three big 3 pointers, 6 rebounds, & 12 points off the bench were so valuable!

 

[Biff]

I just want to say that although this game was wicked stressful and not technically the best semi ever, it was a clean game. Both teams fought hard but not dirty. They played basketball. At least there is that.

 

[Nolefan]

Why are folks complaining we just beat the 2nd number 1 seed ? I don’t care how many turnovers missed bunnies walks fouls etc we won and play for it all Sunday night ..enjoy the win and looking forward to Sunday night

 

[Valleyfan]

Wow, another incredible win. Love the hustle, heart and guts of this team. This would have been a game earlier in the season that we would have lost, with our sloppiness in the 4th quarter. Three turnovers in a row. But we preserved and kept our composure. What a team. Keep on grinding.
