as far as missed FTs, those FIVE misses by Kalani could have ended up being the difference. So it wasn't just ND's misses. 18-22 is pretty good. It's just that the last one missed happened to be crucial so it's the one remembered.

Congrats to Baylor and it will be interesting to see how ND re-builds next year.

It's a lot easier to make a shot when the consequence of missing is not a loss.

That's why Kyle Guy's 3 FTs yesterday rank among the all-time clutch shooting feats in collegiate history.

When you go to the line down 2, miss the first, then make the 2nd when you want to miss it, you have choked.

Baylor won this game by hitting clutch shots and playing tough defense, but ND contributed to Baylor's win by playing poorly down the stretch.

If Cox does not get injured the game is not even close. Cox getting injured was the key to ND comeback.

My daughter called me after the game laughing because her youngest son, who is 11 and slightly ADHD (as well as not much of a sports fan), had run through the room, stopped, and then asked, “Is her name really MUPPET?” I’m sure he isn’t the only kid who’s made that mistake, but I suspect she’ll be referred to as “Muppet” in that house for some time to come.

Well, DANG-erooo!

I was rooting the entire way for Baylor today. MOSTLY to deliver a Crow Sammich to Myrtliciousness, who incessantly slighted them, saying they weren't REALLY #1 overall ( No, wait....I think I mighta said that once, too...but never as vociferously as SHE did. Razz

)

But really, folks: This one just about had it all, in the way of High Drama.
The Big Bold Start
The Tenacious Persistence
The Terrible Injury
The Comeback
The Tense Final Seconds
The Final Buzzer
The Flowing Tears
The Adorable Baby....what's left?

HUGE Kudos to Baylor. Such Heart and Guts! And extraordinary defense.
HUGE Kudos to Notre Dame. Such Heart and Guts! And their kids DO know the delicious taste of earning a NC....

It really was an awesome FF. Cool

(side note, re: the bickering over 'flopping'....certainly for this FF, and even throughout the tourney, *I* saw comparatively little of it. To the point I thought, maybe the coaches have made a concerted effort to curtail that, at least where it's more drama than actual contact??)

Congrats to Baylor - I don’t normally root for the Lady Bears but how could you not feel for them when Cox went down? Chloe Jackson was unbelievable and certainly an extension of her feisty coach. Smith’s jumpers were heroic and that kid is going to be fun to watch.

Kim Mulkey is an icon in this sport and her third national title cements her and the Baylor program in the game’s elite. Will be neat to see what she does with her freshmen (sophomores next year). There will be some nice pieces in Waco and hopefully Cox is good to go by Nov/December - questions on the PG situation for sure.

Notre Dame had a great comeback and will miss those fantastic seniors. Did Turner play her way into the First Round of the draft? I’m surprised about Jackie Young - she didn’t play at a high level in either FF game. Will be paying attention today to see if she stays - suddenly I’m a fan of the kids staying Smile

Congratulations to Baylor and I agree with Will, this would not have been close with Cox. It shows how undersized posts struggle with real size and that’s what will happen in the pros, Uconn had the same issue but Baylor left Williams, Walker and Collier wide open away from the basket, Young got a little of the same treatment but clearly could’nt drive into bigs of that size to get calls, another red flag. Baylor didn’t need their bigs to fast break as the Baylor guards were much quicker than ND and that’s also how we beat them the first time.

And for those ripping on fans for giving back some of the treatment they have been dished over and over, stop being hypocrites.

I am happy for Kim the grandmother as you can see how that has been a joy and a change in how she is with her players but I am wishing Cox all the best for a speedy recovery. ND are the underachievers this year, just think about how easy it is to play with a team full of seniors 😎

I love spring. Saw a robin and a bunny in the backyard, going about their robin and bunny business.

Some stats.

Baylor made 39 field goals to ND's 28 at an accuracy of 53.4% to 38.9%, and demolished ND in the paint points, 54-24. Baylor also had more assists (21-18), fewer turnovers (8-10), more fast break points (16-8), and more points off turnovers (12-7).

So, why was it a one point game? Two primary reasons. ND hit five more 3pt shots than Baylor (7-13 vs. 2-7) and 16 more free throws (18-22 vs. 2-7), both at much higher accuracy percentages. That gave ND 31 more points from the arc and the stripe. In addition, ND also had more offensive rebounds (20-14) and more second chance points from them (21-18).

In all the excitement of the finish, we never did get a replay of the supposed foul that sent ND to the line. From the one angle we saw, it looked like good, legal defense by Ursin.
