We Are The Champions Post Game Thread

I was just thinking how bad we are for WCBB, NOT!

This is what South Carolina ran into

 

[and one]

I turned on the pre-game at 2:45, refreshed my drink (iced tea) and settled in for the game. At 2:55 the lights flickered and power went off. I was like really, power going off now? It's a fine spring day in Florida. I didn't lose power during hurricane Milton and I lose it on a clear day five minutes before the biggest game of the year starts. I ended up missing the first quarter and watching the remainder at a sports bar. With beer as a beverage.

Wasn’t that long ago there were people saying that the game had passed Geno by. Today showed that is not the case. Happy for Geno, happy for UConn and really happy for Paige.
Great day to be a UConn fan.

Words can’t express how I’m happy for this wonderful group of women, the coaching staff and everyone who has a part in their success. What a fantastic tournament. Now, time to relax and watch my recording multiple times. Enjoy your night everyone!!
An even dozen. Just wow!

I can't believe that Strong was not the MOP.

An argument could be made for all 3 of them. Paige led them to the Final 4 and her numbers were great throughout the tournament.

I thought Dawn blew by Geno pretty fast during the handshake line, did not say a word, I don't think.

It was pretty obvious that UConn was a better team than SC from the February matchup. However, averaging 31 point margin of victory in the tournament which included 3 #1 seeds was outstanding. Utter dominance by the Huskies

She was on the edge all game.

Congrats Ladies. You make UConn nation proud.

It’s April. Time for that annual event of changing the number of championships sign on I-84.

Great win and blew right thru the tourney and the FF with Paige being the 3rd leading scorer on the team

Yes but the MOP was for the final four which Paige didn't put up numbers like Azzi and Sara..I would have picked Sara for the FF with not just points but rebounds and terrific defense

Insane performances the last 2 games. Tipping my cap to yall. Enjoy the victory, congrats.

Go one further too. 3 #1s go down.

 

[CMC'72]

Yes! they say Azzi had a really bad game.
heh, heh.

 

[Ewekon]

Unbelievable!!! Saw the first one 30 years ago. This one was my second favorite and of course the first was my favorite!

Very happy for Paige. Injuries. Stuck it out. Bleeds Husky blue.

How many times has a 2 seed taken out 3 #1 seeds to win the championship/

They posted a graphic on this. This was the 4th time it's happened. The most recent before this was Baylor 2005. Louisiana Tech and Tennessee did it once each in the 80s.

Dawn is a great coach, but a very poor loser.

Beats her going for his throat!

Great day to be a UConn fan.

I'll say it wasn't that long ago! Two months to the day, to be exact, when we lost to Tennessee.

I wonder if they're still saying that now. I might have to take a peek just to quench my curiosity...

 

[nickp91]

A year ago today Sarah Strong committed to UConn the day after they lost to Iowa in a tragic loss in the Final Four

This will be around for a long, long time:

This...without ANY doubt, was my favorite one out of the 12. I had my doubts early in the season, but when Coach said "we're going to have a great tournament team" it made me feel good about our chances. Coach just knows his team.

Thank you Paige, Kaitlyn and Aubrey - you are National Champions. Thank you Coach Auriemma.

The drought is over!
