NCAA Women's Basketball Championship

Rutgers vs. Tennessee (46-59)

C. Vivian Stringer vs. Pat Summitt

What a game!!! My two favorite teams and my two favorite coaches. I was torn.

However, in the grand scheme of things, I was truly pulling for Rutgers. I wanted Coach Stringer to see what it feels like to win a Championship Title. If her team could have played the way they played to get to the Final......there would be no doubt that they could win it. This "team of destiny" did not have destiny on their side. They did not play to their full potential. Seemed like the excitement of being in the big game was just too much for the young Scarlet Knights.

Not to worry....Rutgers will be back next year.

I am happy for Coach Summitt to end the almost 10 year drought to get her coveted 7th Championship. The Lady Vols just meshed together and could not be stopped. The team was definitely focused and hungry. Although Candace Parker stood out with star characteristics, others stepped up to the plate to help. Nikki Anosike was a beast on the offensive boards, Shannon Bobbit was draining 3's like no other. The Lady Vols were back in true form with that Orange and White Rocky Top swagger!!!!

Congrats to both programs......they have done the game of Women's Basketball a great justice and the game has definitely been raised to the next level.....stay tuned for next season!!!!
