Few thoughts:
*it's amazing how much better the game of basketball looks when the refs whistle over the back and holding of players (yes, i'm bitter about the refs from the UConn SC game)
*Great job by UCLA...they were in control the whole game...6 seniors who can actually play and all will be drafted to the WNBA...and great job by C. Close...she was keeping the team fresh by rotating players in an out and called the time outs when she needed to and clearly prepared the team very well for this game.
*Practically all AA had mediocre games in this final 4 (Azzi, Sarah, Edwards and Booker). Lauren B. was great!
*I really like Tessa Johnson from SC. A great player.
*Have to wonder how hard UCLA will hit the portal and try to get a lot of stars.
*Agot M. will be scary good by the time she is a junior/senior.
*I was in the game and was cheering for UCLA. Wanted them to beat SC bad and they did a wonderful job at that.
Cognates to UCLA and on to the next season (6 month away...arggg)

Without the asterisk, Maryland is the last team to win an WBB championship.

They don't count. They were ACC. Purdue was the last real Big 10 team.

Joyce made major major steps this year. Getting consistent rebounding and defense and a little less tunnel vision are the next steps, but she was so much better at all of it this year.
We will see what kind of offseason Makeer has. If she’s maniacal then she could be the best player on team. If an average one then probably not.
Finding out where Kitts and Watkins are will be interesting and Tournebize looked fine winging it. Once they incorporate her in the flow and get her stronger, we will see. Tac too could be valuable if she’s healthy.

Tessa
Makeer or Kitts

(Watkins or Tournebize?

Maddie is only our starting PG if we miss on everybody in the portal. And if she is, we are not a Final Four team.

I had forgot to put ACC team in front of Maryland in my post. Using your logic Maryland is the last ACC team to have won a national championship.

Yep. ND are a bunch of freeloaders 😄. No offense to ND fans.

Gave her a hug and complimenting words.
Lauren Betts is a huge key here. But the other key that is largely ignored…Raven Johnson is GROSSLY overrated. She is a combined 2-14 for 5 points and 0 assists in the last TWO NC games. How does a senior/5th year senior, AA(still makes me laugh) PG, perform that terribly in back to back NC games? UCLA has Betts, but like UCONN last year, had FAR BETTER guard play.
