Just wondering if you watched the Women's championship game last night. One of the best games ever. I was tickled that Maryland won, they're so young and tough to come from way behind to win in overtime. That team will be much hell when the freshmen are seniors. The pre-game show was very cool too since it was the 25th anniversary of the women's tournament. |

Yes!! It was incredibly exciting. I was pulling for the Terps because of the Arizona connection (the coach played at the "other" state university down the road from here ). Plus knocking off Duke would just be cool.Then the game was soo excellent! It dwarfed the men's this year in so many ways. I wasn't able to see the beginning because of kid obligations--didn't join until after the 2nd half started. It's probably just as well, since I would have had a stroke if I'd watched the entire thing. |

my kids were cracking up because I couldn't sit and watch the overtime...I was up on defense hollering 'hands up hands up' 'look for it look for it' 'be patient...look for your shot' I WAS A MESS That little Toliver kid is something. Soooo much poise for a freshman. |

Yep, me too. And in the crass department, I was also thinking how strong they would be because their stars won't be recruited into the NBA next year. That school has done amazing things with their women's basketball program in such a short amount of time. Our local uni just hired a new men's coach (from NC State). Let's hope he's as successful. |

I love Brenda Frese! In thinking back on the game, I think the single most amazing aspect of Maryland's play was their ability to neutralize Bales so completely. I mean...she's HUGE...and much smaller girls were putting an @$$ on her and making her freak out. She drew some fouls, but she didn't take one decent shot in the last 1/4 plus overtime, she was reduced to just throwing it up there. |
