Great to see Tara get the recognition. Too bad I didn't see this before the game. Listening to the ESPN announcers, I thought the SC coach must have won it.

Hard to stomach the fawning. At game's end announcers actually sounded hurt, as if missing those point-blank shots was strictly the work of cruel fate and not the failure of the shooter(s) and the last-moment efforts of the winners. The superior team WON this game. SC found a way to lose it. Tough, yes. So is a lot about sports in general. And about life, for that matter.
