Easiest? Louisville just beat Baylor. They're a damn good team with a lot of momentum. They will get to the national championship. You sir are a moron.

All it takes is effort and determination. We came close to beating them with just 15 minutes of solid effort.

If you play tentative you deserve to lose. We deserved to lose.

Simmons waited far too late to turn it on.

The whole team did.

But hats off to Holly. She did more than I thought she would her first year. Sad she couldn't get further.

Hopefully this team will take this and go forward learning from it. You have to go for blood when you have the chance.

IDK...Massingale was supposed to be the true court general point guard we haven't had in quite sometime....she was the number 1 point guard in the recruiting class....


All I wish is for the days of Shannon Zolman, and Kara Lawson

(I'm not super old, so thats as far as I really remember of the solid point guards we've had)

We were within 5 points and then let Louisville score 10 plus points in a minute or so with game on the line! First half choke job and terrible defense.

The Louisville guard "cupped the ball" outside the circle and then took two more steps after picking up her dribble - what do we hear? Blah blah amazing play blah blah. Anyone can be amazing with three steps.

Lol.... I actually told my wife that I loved how the used the running back analogy. Running backs don't dribble the ball.

I was shocked when they called the travel on Simmons (i believe) right after that cause after watching most of this game I just assumed it wasn't a penalty in the women's game.

Zolman? That's funny. She could hit uncontested threes buy was terrible in every other facet of game. We won nothing with her. She was not a point guard but did try to play the position some. Guard recruiting has been a problem for years. Massengale is talented--but like Spani she has Zero toughness.

What freshmen? Williams and Spani are seniors; Simmons, junior. Massengale, Harrison and Graves--sophs.

I just hate how we played in that first half. We don't let things go out of hand so early we would be in a different mood.

Oh well, good season. Exceeded expectations but left a couple of easy wins on the table. Champions win games like this one and we aren't champions yet.

We will learn from this but I don't expect Holly will ever see an easier path to the championship game than she had handed to her this year even if she coaches another 30 years.

The ND vs. UConn game is the championship. Whoever wins the other side of the bracket is going to get run over. It may be a blessing in disguise that it wasn't us.
