I confess, I didn't think Lou was healthy enough to be Lou. I have rarely been so overjoyed to be proven completely wrong.

Lou showed everyone exactly what "senior" leadership looks like. 29 points when your team really needs you. What back pain? I got a game to play.

I was hoping these threads wouldn't pop up and we could just enjoy a win like one cohesive fanbase...

I was so disappointed in the "Lou does not step up in big games " crowd from the chat on Friday, that I never opened it today. Most enjoyable that way. I am glad she was able to put that myth to rest. Go Huskies.

A few post game thoughts -
1. When shots are falling like they were today, UConn usually wins.
2. Collier had a quiet double-double (12/13), but together she and Lou lead this team to victory.
3. Redemption is sweet. This win gives the team a BIG shot of confidence going forward to next week.
4. The UConn fans in attendance got their money's worth this weekend.
5. Christyn didn't play like a freshman today. 16/7/3.
6. As so many posters suggested, Durr was kept under control this time. No one else stepped up for them.
8. UConn wilted a bit in the final minutes, but gallantly and courageously fought their way back with a refuse to lose resolve. Kudos to the starters. Everyone (except Lou) played 40 minutes as the bench was not able to give them any support today. ONO had 1 block off the bench in 8 minutes today. Zeros across the rest of the board.
7. UConn Nation has a ticket punched for the final four where anything can happen. Four down, two to go. The dream is still alive!!
8. In various media articles posted yesterday and this morning, it's confirmed that Lou is still hurting as many posters concluded.
9. Today turned out to be a pretty good day.
Last thought - I'm a huge UConn fan but............................ I must admit, and I'm doing it publicly, during the dog days of summer past, when we (the Boneyard collective) were trying to figure things out, there were so many unknowns then that I honestly had my doubts THIS team would make it this far.
We had just lost Gabby and Kia. We were trying to figure out who was going to replace their production and leadership. Geno has done it again. He knew where this team needed to be come March, and got 'er done. I'm a believer now!! I can’t help it, I’m from Missouri.
This team brings to mind that old adage NEVER underestimate the heart of a champion. Now it's on to Tampa next weekend, and everybody is invited!!!

Arguably the guttiest performance by a Husky, ever!

I think we can be cohesive, without being homogeneous. Go Huskies!

No argument here! Just incredible determination. And not for herself, but for her team.

Couldn't be happier for the warrior princess. Had her sword sharpened for this one. Not an All American? Get real.

People weren't doubting Lou. Based on her performances there was a lot to be concerned about. Every UConn fan is happy to see Lou have the game she had; otherwise, the season would be over.

I don't think "real" UConn fans doubted her will to win......................it really came down to how much she could overcome the back injury.......................based on the UCLA game it didn't seem like she was going to be her old self again.......................glad to see that reports of her demise were greatly exaggerated.....................of course the same questions about her health will start all over again in the next round...........

The Lou "doubters" were the ones that knew she had this game in her. That another UCLA game wasn't going to fly against Louisville. It was great to see her bring her A game today for two reasons: One, they don't win without it and second, I think another clunker and a team loss would have hurt her legacy. Now she has a chance to join the pantheon.
