But Stanford lost! Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Stanford will be tough next year. They practically return almost all their starters, majority at least, and have that big 6 foot 7 post player.

Stanford loses 3 starters (Wilson.+ The Hulls). But they are also reloading. They'll be better in March then they will be in November.

It has already been mentioned that is was a mistake in communication. It was not a protest.

That was not Dawn's explanation though..

 

[utkCREW]

lol Boston's dad can't get on the court

 

[userpete1037]

No Saxton or Henny, though. They played big tonight.

Still, I'm hard pressed to think who would be favored over them next season with the players they have coming back.

They'll have to replace Saxton and Henderson. It definitely will be interesting next season.

 

[Luna2012]

UConn scores 2 points in the first 5 minutes of third quarter!!!! 😁

 

[Vols2015]

UCONN loses Westbrook, Nelson-Odelda, and Williams.

 

[Amb3096]

So what happens in the off season:

USCjr needs to figure out life outside of Boston with Lady Vols & LSU sneaking up.
Conn still needs to find a real conference.
These refs need to go to summer school to learn what a tie up is.

ESPN needs to do a better job of pushing Conn in the off season.

Boston is back next season, so they have all year to figure it out. They've got no shortage of post players waiting for next though.

LSU will be rebuilding next year.

Tenn and UConn should both be on the short list of FF contenders with SC, Stanford, Texas and probably 1-2 teams I'm overlooking.

I tried to tell some of yall.....The only team that could have stuck with South Carolina was Stanford....UCONN stood no chance

Stanford could've beaten SC

 

[Gilmore]

Congratulations to South Carolina. Don‘t want you to win many of these, but happy for Boston and happier Geno isn’t hoisting the trophy.

They'll have to replace Saxton and Henderson. It definitely will be interesting next season.

Watkins is probably the heir apparent to replace Saxton's dirty work. They're almost identical players.

PG is the only question mark for the team going into next season.

 

[BreatheUT]

Dawn wore her mask for the interview earlier, but now she’s hugging people without it? Lol what the heck

She's phony. Some Carolina fans felt it was embarrassing the team stayed in the locker room during the anthem of the Louisville game while the Louisville players locked arms and was on the court to recognize it. Yet when Staley was on the Olympic team she waved the flag for the opening ceremonies. Which is it for Staley? Whichever she can exploit?

 

[LadyVol1908]

Can’t wait to see the wave of orange in Dallas next year! I’m calling it now! 🧡

They'll have to replace Saxton and Henderson. It definitely will be interesting next season.

Raven Johnson is the real deal Dawn said she will be ready to go. 6-2 Cooper will be the backup pg bacause of her ball handling skills and can flat out shoot the rock.

Poor Evina

 

[userpete1037]

I would've liked to have seen a SC/Stanford matchup but I think SC still would've been victorious.

"Our path was divinely ordered." -- She annoys the **** outta me. Go hump your Aja Wilson statue Dawn.

I think Notre Dame will be in the mix, too, especially if Maya Dodson gets another year of eligibility. Iowa or Iowa St comes to mind as well.

 

[utkCREW]

ALAYIAH EDWARDS

 

[Vols2015]

That was embarrassing for Holly Rowe saying Aliyah Edwards instead of Boston! 🤣

 

[Vols4life]

But Stanford lost! Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Stanford will be tough next year. They practically return almost all their starters, majority at least, and have that big 6 foot 7 post player.

When they played back in December Stanford only lost to South Carolina by 4 at South Carolina.....like I said the only team with a shot to beat USC was Stanford

 

[TheMississippiVol]

You also said you can win without elite recruits

Or you can’t comprehend. Teams that didn’t play tonight had ‘elite recruits.’ Talking all game about where a player was ranked in HS is irrelevant. UConn luck and playing home games ran out. UCF should’ve beat them.

Like I said, HS rankings don’t mean nothing.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Evina Westbrook erroneously believed she would win a championship at UCONN.

 

[Luna2012]

UConn scores 2 points in the first 5 minutes of third quarter!!!! 😁

What a night to have Fudd spending the last 24 hours hurling. I can't imagine how bad she feels. Great game by SC, definitely deserved the win.

 

[Gilmore]

Candace Parker getting the Boston shout out! Love it!
