I had the chance to watch the game with a small group transplanted Tennesseans.
First half - a sense unease building to a flat out feeling of anxiousness until the last few minutes. With the tying 3 pt shot, we had a palpable sense of relief and a guarded sense of confidence going into the 2nd half.
Second half: disbelief followed by deep concern turning to despair when the deficit hit 17 and then Graves looked like she might out with a shoulder injury.
Then, we had a sense of frustration when the LVs started to up their intensity and chip away at the lead (too little, too late, why not five minutes early); then came the budding hope as the ZAGS became more and more rattled down the stretch; then a tempered a joy at getting to OT (why did we have too miss one FT) and of course all out elation when the OT buzzer sounded. What an emotional roller coaster.
Quick notes - Burdick took over!! Not just her points nad rebounds but he defensive effort against bigger post players. She really took away the Zags preferred options.
Massengale - a much needed steadying influence down the stretch.
Reynolds - match up nightmare for the Zags.
Middleton and Nared - excellent efforts from both. I don't the LVs make the historic comeback without their contributions.
