UConn magazine: The Dynasty Lives

The Dynasty Lives

For three years in a row, we’ve celebrated NCAA Tournament Championships in the Basketball Capital of the World. This year, the UConn women made it an even dozen for the dynasty Geno and C.D. began building 40 years ago.

Very classy spread. I'm still working off 9 years of disappointment. This helps.

The Road to Twelve

A five-year arc that began in a bubble and ended with the Huskies once again hoisting the ultimate NCAA bauble was riddled with bad luck and injuries — and records and triumphs.

The Dynasty Lives - nice article and equally nice pics.

The word I will take away from that article is "unblinking".

I hadn't thought of it in that terminology, but that is exactly what it was. They were finally (reasonably) healthy, totally locked in, and they were not going to lose focus or confidence. It was a mission, and they were not going to run away from it or back down. This was their time, they knew it and South Carolina reluctantly came to the same realization.

It is hard to believe it has been two months - I'm still giddy over it. It was a long time coming, patience was tested, it was never guaranteed, and it finally happened in the most convincing and emphatic manner possible. The swagger is back.

The pics are great, the story is amazing as we all know. I must have looked at the pics at least 10 times, my biggest 2 takeaways, go to the pic of Ash. That girl is cut like no other WBB player I have ever seen. I know her story in regard to pops training her and all, but dang I wouldn't want to have her mad at me. Also, recent pics of Sarah, the girl no longer resembles the pudgy, body double for Charles Barkley when he was in college or his early pro days. Sarah is turning into a fine physical specimen, becoming lean looking mean. The future looks bright, another bunch of Nattys are not out of the question. Excellent post Nan.

As long as we had Paige, we always had a chance.

I tried to take the journey, but there was stuff I didn't want to remember, soy boy that I am.

One of the best articles I've ever read. Thanks Nan.
