Yup. I thought the sweet sixteen was already overachieving. Not reasonable at all. I don’t even have a word for this win. Final Four again!!! How on earth did Paige &Co pull this off?!?!

UCONN bad, everyone else goodAdditionally, if Geno won the award it would set back the NCAA’s pursuit of parity eight years. That would be bad for women’s basketball.

I hope it's not even our greatest win of this season when all is said and done.

This. So this. Thank you.
I love everyone on this board, but sometimes they just roll on out of the stratoshphere.........
I was struck how big and strong USC’s players looked at the opening tip. That we hung in there and beat them in foul trouble is amazing. I’m SO proud of this team! We had no reason to expect a Final Four given the injuries. We owe these young ladies a huge thank you.
I realized my mistake later. and had already posted and didn't know how to correct it. I'm surprised it took so long for it to be noticed. You are one of my favorite posters.. I still believe. I'm the"possible guy" and it's still possible. GU HUSKIES!!!!

Even the "Polly Game" which was a blown out is better than an Elite 8

Doomed!Until a 2024 victory over NC State in the finals?
Several of the NC games looked like the last stage of the Tour de France.

The hub and I were just discussing yesterday's game vs the 2 OT elite 8 game vs NCSU in 2022. That was thrilling for what it was, however this game, considering the odds and everything else that happened this season, might be the best win ever.

To me it is the greatest because of what this team accomplished with what they have.

Geno is like the Meryl Streep of coaching. Streep hasn't won nearly enough Oscars, and Geno should have more COY awards. The people who choose to bestow these honors just take them for granted, and they both don't look like they are working hard at their craft. That's because they are so good at it.

No way does a SC loss even compare with the Miracle on Ice! SC has struggled to beat their last two opponents and are currently undefeated by virtue of a once in a lifetime banked in three by Cardoso!
The Soviets were four time defending champions, having gone 27-1-1 in those for Olympics, were essentially grown men professionals going up against the youngest US team ever, and they (the Soviets) had just gone 5-3-1 against NHL teams! They were considered to be essentially unbeatable! When that game was played I was on my way from Seattle to Portland and at the end of the game (I was listening on the radio) I suddenly saw all these cars (coming and going) start pulling off the side of the road. I thought “There must be a wreck, or an emergency vehicle” so I too pulled off the road. Everyone was getting out of their cars so I did as well. As I did so, I realized they were all cheering and waving their arms! That was a very different time!
That win against the Soviets was just unbelievable and seeing those people cheering on the side of the road was a special moment in my life. Everyone was so unified!
Anyway, there is no comparison between the Gamecocks potentially losing to a very good NC State team and “The Miracle on Ice”! Sure, SC is a very good team and probably will/should win the championship but they certainly do not present as some “unbeatable, once in a lifetime, quasi-professional basketball team whose failure to win would result in a made up, universally recognized catchphrase, and in books and movies being made about them! Sorry for the rant!

Over under - SC wins by -19? 20?
Maybe not even an upset, maybe the NCSU team should be favored?

Personally, I think the greatest game was the Tennessee game in January of '95. That game really put UConn on the basketball map. But this game was the best at overcoming adversity. In 2001 when Shea and Sveta went down, they didn't overcome the adversity as well. They still had superstars Taurasi, Bird, Cash, Jones and Williams.
