Domer misses FT.
Yay Baylor!

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

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?

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.

That happens a lot. Everyone should try it.
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.

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.
