In the end, Lauren refused to lose. And the season has achieved its reward - one final game. Win, lose or draw (draw?) this will go down as one of our great teams.
Hopefully, Kiki has played through her slump because we're going to need everything we have on Sunday. Hopefully, South Carolina feels they made their ppint by beating UConn. That will leave us to go 1-0 one more time.
Lauren 16 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks
Rice 11 points, Kneepkens and Jaquez 10 each
Big game on Sunday. And despite what Dawn Staley told ESPN, South Carolina is a 2 1/2 point FAVORITE on Sunday. To win the NC we have to do it as underdogs in both the semi-final and the final. Another mountain to climb because - the coaching carrying ons aside - So Carolina played a truly amazing defensive game tonight. We'd better find a way to take care of the ball in our final game.
