Great game and great season all around, coming on strong in the Pac-12 tournament and fighting through the travel and extended trip away from campus in the NCAA tournament. I would not have predicted a Final Four appearance for this team at the beginning of the season.
It's too bad that Karlie got hurt. I was really wanting to see a matchup with Katie Lou in the finals. I'm not a hall of fame coach, but it seemed to me like Tara left Karlie in the game too long. She was obviously uncomfortable and didn't have much of an impact on the game. She was too slow on defense and I'm not sure she attempted a shot until the waning moments of the 4th quarter. On the other hand she's a smart basketball player and you gotta go with the seniors that got you here even if they are not 100%. South Carolina was able to pack in the defense and dare us to shoot from long range. We hit some shots but not enough to close the gap.
