Just ran across this article on ESPN. Say what you will about him but he knows how to push the right buttons:

SAN ANTONIO -- Christyn Williams was wounded by the remark, probably more than UConn women's basketball head coach Geno Auriemma intended. When he referred to Williams as being "uncoachable" last season, she took it to heart.
"I would say that was definitely a turning point because what player wants to be uncoachable?" Williams said after UConn's 92-72 victory over Iowa in the River Walk Region semifinals Saturday at the Alamodome.
It was a brilliant performance by the junior guard Williams to tip off the Sweet 16 of the NCAA women's tournament: 27 points, four rebounds and tight defense on Iowa freshman star Caitlin Clark. Afterward, Williams could look back on what Auriemma said and smile.
"I really just try my best to listen to every little thing that he was saying and to do it," Williams said. "Because Coach has coached for years and he knows what he's talking about. Look where I am now."

Going to be a very tall task but 8 Lady Bears were there to give Stanford all they could handle 2 years ago in Chicago.

Don't think they're going to be star struck and ready to go.

And some claimed the SEC to be the best conference all season. The SEC is still the conference with maybe the most athletes but not a lot of great coaching in this league besides Dawn.

I'm not even convinced Dawn is that great. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see South Carolina lose before the Final Four...

Well, this is over. Obviously, Stanford is the better team but we ain't helping ourselves either.

Just going to enjoy watching the Lady Bears in the Sweet 16 for 20 more minutes. Pretty special that the majority of this group got to experience it twice. Not bad for a lowly mid-major.

Hell of a season ladies.

Stanford has the complete package. If it comes down to Maryland and Stanford in the final 4 semis, will take Stanford. If UConn beats Baylor, I feel certain they will be in the championship game.

Details....always surface when strife is at hand. They don’t matter much when it is working properly, which of course requires one simple ingredient, top talent. Get it or begin to get it and most of this garbage thread talk from fan experts goes by the wayside quickly.

Right now, the lack of such empowers the laymen on sites like this to pontificate their “briiliance”.

Perhaps you can get Dawn to hang a banner proclaiming your wisdom. I understand banners can be had at the chicken coop.

Bummer, I was really looking forward to the always entertaining "SEE? WALZ IS OVERRATED" posts crawling out of the woodwork tonight. Maybe Tuesday...
