I hope I am not repeating what others have said, but this being the 100 or so comment well... I mainly am just processing. Here are my thoughts:
1. Before the game, I was semi-concerned because according to Geno, Azzi was struggling in her confidence too shoot. I personally wondered if Azzi and Caroline could handle the mental pressure of a big game especially coming off big injuries. They also didn't play when we faced SC & TN defenses.
2. I tend to not give the refs all the credit, but to say BAD REF calls can't effect a team's momentum is FALSE. Both teams flopped, but Ohio seemed to benefit and grow bolder when they got away with it. They were falling left and right by the two minute mark of the 4th, and unfortunately one of those bad calls came when UConn had pulled within 5. On the other hand, calls seemed to cause frustration for UConn leading to increased desperation and sloppiness. It also led to Edward's leaving the game when the team needed her (another key to the team losing). Her 4th foul could have easily been Ohio's, but... I digress.
3. Lou. She took a back seat due to nagging injuries and playing a smaller role for others to shine in the first two tournament games. However based on the big games this year, I knew that Lou has a tendency show up when the pressure is on. In fact sometimes, she seems to thrive off of it. Today when she came back from that scary fall and kept scoring when the outcome was almost decided, she was the player I felt for. Dorka had two seasons, and the others will have another shot. But Lou...she played like this was her last shot and wanted to see that Elite 8 game. The pressure didn't phase her. I definitely will continue to watch her play.
4. I love this team and I hope they get credit for how far they went despite the injuries. I don't know what next season will bring. I am hopeful, but I am less confident than others for a few reasons which I will keep to myself. Anyway this season was stressful, but also fun to watch at times! Can't wait to watch the rest of the tournament and Lou and Dorka in the pros!
