Especially sweet to see The Jerk of the North's dejected, stunned look after the game...particularly after his smirking performance during the little "hold me back" drama played out with Daly earlier in the game.
They shouldn't feel too bad, though. After all, they DO have that record-setting first-round win.
McGraw has done a masterful job with this group of wounded warriors. Either she recruits tough players or she and her staff are able to develop that toughness. Something other programs could benefit from emulating.
And McGraw can stay classy during games, manage games well, and give good post-game interviews.
Two great semi-final games. Genos hold on superiority is slipping. Retirement cant be too many years away. Will be interesting to see how they replace him. UCLA mens and Lady Vols fan bases will agree on how difficult it is to replace a legend.
Go LVs!
Very good game!! Young was fearless and calm all night! I love her game!! Our ladies will mature over the summer and get better as well Im so excited to see who makes a leap in their sophomore year, something tells me it will be all of them...
Geno is a great coach but tbh 4 of those 11 championships came with Briana Stewart, Morgan Tuck, and Moriah Jefferson leading his teams with strong supporting casts. Not to take anything from him but those ships were obvious and gimmes...as well as those with Maya. The group he has now are basically a team full of Morgan Tucks. Great players and all hard workers but none of them are take over the game each and every game type players like Breanna/Jefferson, Maya/Tina, Diana/Sue were.
McGraw is a great coach with great players who came up big in the biggest game of their lives thus far. Congratulations ladies!!!
Uconn is dominating the sport, as much as it can now be dominated, while we are being told this is not possible in todays basketball.

Never seen that beforehmy::crazy::wink::wink:From the BONEYARD:
Lots of off the rail fans in the chat. Clobbering "their" own players, coaches and team. Very strange.
Good thing for those people UCONN only loses one time/year. Any more than that and those folks would be homicidal.
This fanbase really needs to handle losses better. The blame game sickens me especially when it's targeted at young women who play their hearts out. Geno can handle the criticism, but what I've seen tonight is really disgraceful comments directed at young women who give their all. Basketball is a game and nothing more. Get over it. On to next season. Wow.
Some on their board are having a hard time accepting it's over....Every empire falls.
Anyone know if it's true that UConn's Azura S has decided to enter the WNBA draft? If true that will add big time to their regrouping for next season

Who knew winning could be so exhausting??
NCAA tournament: UConn coach Geno Auriemma says winning is exhausting
Not sure ND beating UC by 2 points in overtime with 1 sec left can be classified as a dominating win.
It was one hell of a game as was Looie and Mississi
Tonight's game should be a great one. Can't wait to see some really good basketball from two great coaches. In game adjustments should be interesting to watch. How will Vic handle McGraw's Zone? ND was a FT machine in the UConn game and the real difference in the game
