Yes, it was an error to post as a diary.  I posted before the appreciation thread was started.  I’m a disabled stroke victim and I have involuntary muscle tremors.  I use an iPad and the Diary and Message Board fields are close together.  After I discovered my mistake, I couldn’t correct it with an edit that would convert the diary post to a Board post.  Sorry about the error, but not sorry about wishing well-deserved kudos to the remarkable women’s team for their extraordinary game and year.

Totally agree.  Those women played their hearts out.  They share the same focus on defense that the men's team has.  That the Baylor team was the unanimous pick to win this game and by a large margin, aside from the Michigan crowd, is testament to the fabulous job they did to control the tempo and keep the Baylor ladies away from the basket.  Wish there had been a little more of Leigha in the first half.  Wish there had been a few less turnovers.  But hard to complain, given that they still had a good chance to win this game either at the end of regulation or especially in the overtime. They just needed the ball to bounce their way one more time.

A great effort to build on for next year and the future.  Now that they know they can go beyond what has been accomplished in the past, they should have even more confidence to gain loftier goals.  Needless to say, a great coaching job from Kim Barnes Arrico along with the work of the players.  Go Blue!

Women's team just set the bar high for total tenacity.

Hope it is good inspiration for the rest of our teams, basketball or otherwise.

Go Blue!

Great team with some great players looking forward to them growing even more next year.  It took a while but Coach KBA seems to really have it going.
