Yay Baylor! - Phogge - 04-07-2019

Domer misses FT.

RE: Yay Baylor! - PVTree - 04-07-2019

Slight preference for Baylor winning today, but, for different reasons, I didn't want anybody in the final four winning the title, especially Yukon.

FWIW, we we’re the only team to beat the national champions.

The son of one of my best friends goes to Baylor and he is part of the squad (all guys, I think) that is the scrimmage team that plays against the women's bball team in practice.

That happens a lot. Everyone should try it.

Doesn’t Baylor’s coach have a history of defiantly defending the school’s culture of sexual assault and threatening physical violence against those who question her?

Yup.

This is the really important thing about this weekend - no more closure for Geno.

1 Pat Summitt 1098 208 .841 Tennessee (1974–2012)
2 Tara VanDerveer 1067 247 .812 Idaho (1978–80), Ohio State (1980–85), Stanford (1985–95, 1996–)
3 Geno Auriemma 1062 139 .884 Connecticut (1985–)

That's the list of total victories.  I REALLY don't want ESPNUConn to break Pat Summitt's record.  He's five wins behind Tara now, and playing in a crap conference.  But she might hit that total by the end of next season - she needs 32 wins, he needs 37.

It really came home in listening to one of ESPN's anchors gush about Muffet McGraw - how she was only one of four college coaches with at least 900 wins, 8 Final Fours, and multiple national championships - and proceeded to list Coach K, Auriemma, and Pat Summitt.

Um, yeah.

It would also be helpful if we could turn this year's recrutiing into a few sustained classes in a row.  Christyn Williams and Megan Walker are really good, and Nelson-Ododa was serviceable, but the Huskies may not be the dominant force for the next season and a half that we've come to expect.  Also hoping that Bueckers doesn't attract many more.

I'm all for reveling in that now since it's the best thing we've got for this season, but, frankly, I'm getting a little tired of Stanford being the team that wins in December but not in March/April.  If you'd told me as I watched Molly Goodenbour hoist the trophy in L.A. that the next time we'd do that it would be with a team made up entirely of players that hadn't yet been born then, I would have thought you were crazy.

With the talent coming in, if we don't make at least 2 Final Fours in the next three [or, at least, four] years and win the whole thing at least once...it will be a real disappointment.

WVB had a dozen year drought as far as winning a national championship; one historic recruiting class later, we have two titles in the last three years. As Kathryn Plummer said to Holly Rowe after winning the NCAA title, winning a national championship is really hard. And adding to her comments, even the best teams need luck to win a chip.

Um, yeah.

Maybe they forgot to say "at one school"? That would have been a way to make McGraw sound better by being only 1 of 4.

I'm glad to hear that.  It was ugly.  Since it involved a teammate rather than opponent, there shouldn't be any bad blood over it.

For the record, I wish ND had won.  No way can I cheer for a team coached by the Baylor coach.
