OT March Madness 2016

[Eyes On The Prize]

Awe! So disappointed. Never seen the ladies look that bad, off kilter all night. Congrats to Syracuse! Why is South Dakota a state?





Still can't tell me they weren't a challenge tho. (looking at you, Bria Day)

Roy and her three pointers were making us sweat, tbh[emoji14](Is her power in her hair? Serious question.) SC def played hard though and took some nasty spills. Hopefully they are all ok, Coates specifically. She looked hurt during those last minute free throws.

Her hair is flawless. I've spent all season watching it, wondering how. As a fellow black woman....seriously how. It's like she doesn't have sweat glands in her scalp. It's just flawless and bounces



Anyway. The problem is that Tina Roy was "on" and people like Tiffiany Mitchell and Khadijah Sessions were off. Tina Roy, while a good player (our bench truly has depth ) does not put up performances like that typically and I knew she wouldn't be able to sustain it.

It's particularly sad since the 3 are seasons. Tina has her best game all year and loses, but Tiff and Khadijah have their worst game all year and contributes to the loss. Hard to reconcile.


That's why I posted that this game was bad for my nerves when Carolina was up by 11, I knew that if key players didn't pick it up in the second half it was a sinking ship. Syracuse was a good team, no disputing that but the reality is, and I say this as someone that has seen or been to every GamecockWBB this season, that what happened last night is a fluke and they truly lost to themselves. What happened wasn't typical



But the good thing about Carolina is that our bench is great. Our starters our great. Our seniors were great. Our underclassmen are great. Our coach is great and our c/o 16 signees are great. This is not where it ends, definitely a bright future ahead for that whole program. This time next year I'll be able to use annual leave and I'll be heading to go see them play in the Final Four [emoji1497][emoji1497][emoji1497]


UConns Briana Stewart and Moriah Jefferson will have graduated and it'll probably give some other team a chance to shine [emoji23].

(Now that Carolina is out, I too can admit that ain't nobody beating those machines this year. Watch Moriah play. She plays the entire game and never gets tired. It's not normal)


Also. The Day twins are good, still don't like home girls attitude and their eyeliner bothered my spirit.

That's the beautiful/upsetting thing about tournaments - you have to be good when it "matters". There's no room for an off day. SC's record this year is still no laughing matter. Only like 2 losses is hella impressive. But still, I can see how it's a tough blow. Sports, man.

While I'll always root for Syracuse no matter what, Breanna Stewart went to my high school so I'm rooting for UCONN this year. I'd love to see her complete her 4th NCAA win. She has a great future ahead of her.

I'm rooting for anyone to beat UCONN. Not because I'm a hater and not because I particular want to see them fail.....but because I really want to see one of the underdogs (because every other team is an underdog ). So today I'm rooting for Victoria Vivians to shoot a bunch of 3s for Miss State

I'll root for anyone going against UConn (except Syracuse. It's too soon) because I want a shake up.


But when UCONN wins again that'll be cool.

Sessions post game interview hurt my heart. Girl can have the trainer pop her fingers back together without even wincing so to see her so torn up was so sad for me to watch. I'll miss all of those seniors but she was my fav.

 

[cheerKT]

This is fine.

 

[luv2cheer92]

This is fine.

Dang. I'll admit that I don't watch too much women's basketball, but I do know that UCONN is unreal, but dang.

 

[ErinS]

This is fine.

Daaaaaaamnnnnnnn

I would ask to nap on the bench

They likely did. UCONN is just that good.

Uconn has won by huge margins in a lot of games this year! No one can touch them.

Carolina by 12 and ND by 10 were the closest wins for them

But I mean maybe Baylor can take them out

So... Is there a prize for the worse bracket ever ? Because my women's bracket would definitely win that !
