If we’re going to include women in this, you have to include Lobo from the 95 championship team. She had to sit due to three highly questionable fouls in the first half, but came back like a woman possessed in the second half. It was an incredibly dominating performance.
I think you and I agree. Someone said Calhoun's 'policy' of sitting a player with two fouls almost cost UConn this game, my point was it likely won UConn this game.
Oh yeah, I agree that it likely won the game; and the reason I mentioned the policy was was because it was responsible for Emeka's dominance down the stretch.
His two foul thing and his not fouling up 3 were the only things that drove me nuts about his coaching.
I was talking with a Syracuse alum and fan on Friday. He had just taken his son on college tours that included Duke, UNC, Va. Tech and UVA, and we got to talking about hoops and the museum area at Cameron, and the fact that Duke memorializes so many Final Fours that it didn't win (including '99 and '04). I mentioned that they had been to so many that it was surprising they hadn't won more National Championships, and I referenced Calhoun winning three of the four he had been to. Even though the guy was around my age, he we still stunned at Calhoun's Final Four record, and it gave me great pleasure to watch him process and appreciate it.
Chris Duhon locked up Ben Gordon in that game.
There’s a great argument for Ricky, but Rip was definetly deserving of it, it’s like handing out the MVP of the Super Bowl the qb if he has great stats will most likely get the MVP.
