Dawn Staley Calls Out ESPN’s ‘Lies’ Ahead of Championship Showdown: ‘Let’s Not Choose One Player’s History Over Another’ https://shinemycrown.com/dawn-staley-calls-out-espns-lies-ahead-of-championship-showdown-lets-not-choose-one-players-history-over-another/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #DawnStaley #NCAAW #WomensBasketball #Gamecocks #Huskies
In the end, it was the #USCTrojans without Juju Watkins who came closest to beating #UConn the entire #NCAAW basketball tournament. There was no better team in the tourney than USC, until Watkins was lost for the season, IMO.
Aziz Fudd's family are wearing "Fudd Around and Find Out" shirts and I kind of want one.
I love that the defending champion overall number 2 seed in the country, and the higher seed for this game, are wearing "Doubt Us" shirts during warmup. I'm always amused when great teams spin themselves as a giant underdog.
National Championship Game Set
UConn vs. South Carolina
3pm ET, ABC

Well, that got out of hand quickly.
For a team that has reached the #Elite8, it's surprising how lethargic the #TCU women are against #TexasLonghorns. Yeah, the Longhorns have great, tenacious defense, but wow, how can you have 2 5-second inbound violations and a 10-second halfcourt violation in the first quarter? Even on offense, they are slow to find the open shooter against man defense, with Sedona Prince slow to get out for the pick.
The moment might be too big and bright for the Horned Frogs.
Madison Booker at Texas: last year's Big 12 player of the year, this year's SEC player of the year. And she didn't even have to transfer! Conference realignment is wild. #NCAAW #MarchMadness
Kansas State is going to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2002 with an 80-79 OT win over Kentucky, will play the winner of tomorrow's Mississippi State/USC game

I don't usually watch until the Final Four, but we're visiting my mother in law and this Notre Dame - Michigan game is intense. #NCAAW #MarchMadness
Ready for another year of running a bracket challenge with a group of participants that mostly don't follow basketball or sports in general! #ncaaw #MarchMadness #basketball
Also filled out my own bracket. 
In the two WNBA challenges and one NCAA basketball challenge I've run, no one who predicted with any knowledge involved has won, so I didn't overthink anything this year. 
TOMORROW NIGHT! OUR #23 Minnesota Golden Gophers (17-2!!) take on #24 Michigan in the Barn at 7PM! My ticket was $14!!! Grab the cheapest ticket you can get, then make your way to the upper level and sit wherever you want. gophersports.evenue.net/events/WBB-SG #GopherWBB #NCAAW
Shit. Not Paige. She has had the absolute worst luck with injuries. Player just dived through her knee. Not a basketball play.
Heard several people, including a head coach, say that yesterday's games were the 1st WBB college games at Chase Center. The 1st college game there was a WBB game between San Francisco & Stanford on Nov. 9, 2019 (we were there). San Francisco has played 5 games there. https://www.hoopfeed.com/content/2019/11/san-francisco-and-stanford-set-to-make-history-will-play-the-first-ever-college-game-at-the-chase-center/

The DJ at Stanford WBB games always plays this classic from Stanford grad Jidenna

Both teams cold from beyond the arc
