Close is a terrible coach. Nothing has changed. She just happens to have the best roster by a large margin this season.

Getting rid of Barker did wonders for their chemistry as well. They were a miserable team at the end of last season.

Well they probably help us take their problem off there hands. That's what problems can cause. This team showed me they play smart and disciplined they ran us ragged just moving the ball and making open shots.

Well, I decided to go ahead and watch the championship. It has never been a secret that I'm a big fan of Dawn Staley and what she has accomplished at South Carolina, so I was obviously going to be pulling for the Gamecocks today. But after watching this game I'm not disappointed that UCLA is going to win the championship. This is just an outstanding performance by the Bruins, and they certainly deserve the Big Trophy.

Also, I'm happy for Cori Close. Being the coach to get UCLA back into prominence after all those years and with sooooo many former greats hoping and supporting them for so long... well... it probably won't get any better for her than today. Good stuff.

It’s crazy to me that’s it’s been 31 years now since the UCLA men’s bball team last brought home a natty , the women will represent and bring one home today. Well done Lady Bruins hell of a team and season, just total domination today.

Not the first time we’ve seen a team beat UConn in the national semi final and then run out of steam in the championship.

Beating them requires a mental and physical toll that’s hard to overcome.

UCLA had a much easier path to the championship game. I thought they had the most questionable 3 and 4 seeds as well.

I said the same thing on another board. UConn has lost 13 Final Fours and I think teams beat them are either 4-9 or 5-8 in the championship game.

What sauce are you using? I don’t care for barbecue, so probably a béchamel, may sprinkle shaved parmesan on top. Capers? What do you think about capers? I’m not a big meat eater - how big a serving do we have to eat?

Capers are a must, but I do hope to get away with only a couple bites.

What a thumping.

Crow dinner BBQ at my house next month, all are welcome, BYOB. 😅

I’ve been out all day and just checked the score. I thought maybe I was hallucinating. Congrats to HC Cori Close and UCLA.

We went to the movies, and I honestly forgot it was happening. Was absolutely shocked and even more so as the game went on.

I'll bring a couple of six packs 😅

NIL saved the Big Ten, point blank. College baseball/softball superiority shifted south after years of West Coast dominance, but now the region's biggest power brokers are in the wealthiest conference. The same goes for women's basketball with the former Pac-12 schools experiencing a renaissance under the banner of a midwestern conference. USC/UCLA were beaten down at the tail end of the Pac-12 and now they're formidable, it's not a coincidence.
