Some thoughts on the South Carolina game:
  • Most teams would be happy to win a national championship every 9 years or so. For UConn WBB it felt like an eternity, as the Huskies become the first team in WBB history to beat three #1 seeds, winning a record 12th championship.
  • For the 2nd game in a row, Azzi started out fast, scoring early and often. In addition, she was huge picking Fulwiley’s pocket twice for breakaway layups. WHAT A GAME AZZI PLAYED TODAY!!!
  • SC was crashing the boards in waves, something they did not do vs UConn in February. Sarah was a monster on the boards, often coming down with rebounds among a swarm of Gamecocks. I will say it again. Sarah is the best rebounder ever to play at UConn, coming up HUGE with 15 rebounds in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
  • UConn’s Big 3 came up BIG, UConn’s defense was relentless and order has returned to the universe. :)
  • KK and Ash both came up really big off the bench.
  • Over the past 10-20 years there has been a proliferation of talented coaches in WBB. But Geno is still the GOAT, with the top staff in the game. No one does a better job of getting the very best out of their team in March & April. When SC made a minnie run in the 3rd qtr, Geno called a timeout, went to the small lineup he had only used sparingly today, and it was GAME OVER.
  • As Willie Shakespeare said, "Past is Prologue." A lot of pundits minimized UConn's 29 pt win at SC in February, insisting that this game would be much closer. Apparently not. :cool:
  • I love this team for who they are and what they have achieved. Aubrey, Kaitlyn and Paige will be leaving UConn with a national championship along with our eternal gratitude and affection.
  • A final comment on Paige’s extraordinary career. No player has faced and overcome more adversity before ultimately leading UConn to a championship. No one has ever deserved this victory today more than Paige. Watching Paige fall into Geno's arms in tears at the end of the game brought me, and I'm sure many others, to tears as well,
  • In just 7 more months we can all strap in and watch UConn WBB go after #13. GO HUSKIES!!!

CONGRATULATINS UCONN HUSKIES NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!

I loved absolutely everything about this game! Geno said "throw out that 29 point win earlier because we hit everything and they did not". Well in a game where 3 pointers were hard to come by, we certainly did not hit everything, but the total team effort secured the win.

Paige - SO SO SO SO happy for her. This game WAS a lot about her and her story line, and I'm so thrilled she goes out a champion!
Sarah - just amazing. Can you imagine what she will be like with a sophomore leap? OMG she's incredible already
Azzi - just wow. OMG. she was amazing. Offense, defense, Everything Everywhere All At Once!
KK - LOVE what she brings. The energy and intensity and emotion.
Ash - tough as nails

The rest of the team absolutely battled. Great plays individually for everyone. I could not be more proud of this entire team. I want to say I'm speechless, but apparently I'm not. Just an unbelievable ending to a hard rough year, and the end of the drought!!

The fans watching live were in a frenzy. The fans in Gampel were in a frenzy. I think all the fans at home were in a frenzy (I scared the crap out of my dog and cats a few times with whoops and hollers)! The bench was in a frenzy.

OMG so happy!!!
