Edit Reason: Dropped the part of the Nygaard quote that detracted from its point.

Great article from the Athletic with quotes from Val Whiting, Vanessa Nygaard, and others:

Quote:“Back then, when we were alternating between Stanford and Tennessee as the top team in the women’s game, I never imagined it would be so long,” Whiting said. “I didn’t even think about it until someone mentioned it last week, that we’ve gone almost 30 years without winning one, and it blew my mind.”
Quote:“We keep going,” Nygaard said, “so that we can be there when they win. I’ve been in the building every time they’ve played in the Final Four. I think a lot of alums feel that way, just waiting. .... We’re so close so much. This year, we’ll all be watching and texting each other and waiting. We’re always waiting. Waiting for a championship.”
