    What makes Coach Vic so elite is his ability to make adjustments during the game. When Maryland is getting easy baskets in transition, he makes an adjustment that stops that. When feeds to Charlie work, we push that but when they do not we take another route. So many coaches have one game plan against an opponent and that is what they use all game. Coach Frese and her team were very comfortable playing with a lead. They relied on the 3s to stretch the lead. When that is not working, they did not really make adjustments. We pressed them and they did not know how to react. Some of their fouls at the end of our clock were very surprising.

    The play in last night's game which almost made me lose my mind was when we were down 57-59 with 80 seconds left in the game. Vic calls timeout; Kyra inbounds the ball at midcourt to Celeste who is quickly triple-teamed by Maryland. Ebo, Collier, and Allen-Taylor made no effort to leave the paint in order to come help Celeste avoid a 5-second call. Celeste tries to lob the ball back to Kyra, but it is deflected a Maryland player but back into Celeste's hands. Luckily, Celeste got the ball back to Kyra and avoided a costly turnover before she nailed the clutch jumper in front of Owusu to tie the ball game.

    Golf was great today....but now enjoying the replay on ESPNU. Easier now since know the outcome. I also thought the officiating was outstanding. There will always be something you don’t agree with. The game was bigger than the refs and that is a great outcome.

    Awesome. The kiss of death, more deadly than Corso putting on your school's oversized mascot head.

    I know we DO knock the refs, but with Kantner there in charge, I knew she’d call a good game, and she even overturned a bad call! :bow:

    Observation... last night when the game ended and after Vic and the players had celebrated and thanked the fans... I'm almost sure I saw Kathy Harston approach Vic down on the floor with open arms and give him the biggest congratulatory hug. Of course I don't know for sure becaue of the mask, so it may not have been her. If so that was an awesome thing to see and indicates the level of acceptance of this staff by those with long, close ties to the program.

    Love to see UConn complaining about Baylor being in their bracket. Baylor lost some games this year and that is why they are a 2 seed.

    "I just can't believe that we're playing Baylor in the final eight if we're a No. 1 seed, and supposedly we were the number two No. 1," Auriemma said. "You mean to tell me Baylor is No. 7 [overall]? Somebody got that wrong, if you ask me."

    Yes, that was Kathy. The best part of that was Vic, an Aggie, throwing those Horns Up! You know Aggie fan is going crazy about it!

    And I remember Pat Summitt saying one time “Boy, Andy Landers doesn’t hug me like he does Coach Conradt”...HA!! He LOVED Texas back then (as a Coach), and was very friendly on a trip to the FEC (as an announcer) when Karen was there. So, I think y’all are on to something re: Andy vs Vic...guess there might be some “feelings”..?

    I am strongly for Baylor in this game. Love the underdog and with UConn they are the underdog. Don't normally like Baylor, but they do represent our conference (along with us) and who wants UConn to win their 12th championship?

    I thought I didn’t care who won the Baylor/UConn game, but I just can’t root for the seahag. Can neither team win?

    The male announcer. More irritating than Beth Mowins? If that’s even possible, he is.

    I can’t stand Kim Mulkey, and I want Baylor to lose every game they play. I think she’s a dirty recruiter. I used to not like Auriemma, but I’ve come around on him, and that little freshman they’ve got is an amazing baller.

    I used to like Baylor, my daddy being an alum. However, I will never be for Baylor as long as Mulkey is the coach. The men's team, yes, along with UH.

    144 but honestly we were spread out over 7 or 8 sections last night completely surrounding the Maryland fans.

    Carrington was practically knocked to the ground on that last shot, no call. BU would likely have won if called correctly

    Easy. UConn. Mulkey is trash. The things she has said and done while representing that school are deplorable. Geno has mellowed over the years, but Mulkey is trash and will always be trash. Here is a video reminder...

    Yeah it was bad. I had two tickets and they sat us literally side by side next to two other Maryland fans. I definitely had to move my seats because I knew it was going to be problems due to the amount of yelling I do at games. Luckily there were plenty of open seats throughout the arena
