Message: [QUOTE="and one, post: 4909801, member: 10475"] It hardly seems possible that the regular season and BE play are behind us and only the Big Dance remains. Yet another season of relentless injuries, one after another, leaving us down to seven healthy bodies by the end of the BE tournament. With makeshift lineups, freshmen starters, and lots of on-the-job training we produced a very respectable season. Against the best we won some and lost some. Everyone else we beat. I don't know how far we'll get in the NCAAs but we are s tough out. As far as last night's game, I expected we'd win the BE championship, although not against Georgetown. Even dealing with virtually no bench the healthy few played some of the best basketball of the whole season. Just amazing really. My biggest takeaway from the game is the phenomenal and surprising progress Ice has made. Sure, circumstances put her into the starting role for the last two games, playing 40 minutes im each and forbidden to foul out. I just don't believe the Ice we saw in December, January and even February could have pulled it off. Somehow she progressed from a tentative player with fumble fingers to a poised, aggressive, steady force on the court in the blink of the eye. To me at least her development spurt was unexpected but so welcome. Our chances for a deep NCAA run are higher and more importantly our prospects for next year get s big boost. Happy for Ice, happy for the team and us fans too [/QUOTE]
