Barnes and Bilka cement their NCAA legacy. Wow!

Very happy for Elander also. Congrats Buckeyes!

Two of those high priced bc free agents did come through for the yuckeyes. Really nice play to set up the game winner. Evil triumphed but did vanquish an equal evil

Britta Curl goes to 12-1 all time in NCAA games. Pretty remarkable.

OSU got one to go. Congrats to them.

I'm curious, what do you mean by "high priced free agents"?
Barnes & Bilka needed no incentive to come here and their only reward they wanted and got is the Natty!

Looking at past brackets, this week, I think I found this could be the first tournament in 20 years where the higher seed wins in every matchup. (Correct me if I'm mistaken.) With Ohio State winning, and all other results, that is how the tournament turned out. In 2004 the tournament featured only 4 teams. You might expect there would be less chance of "all chalk" results with 11 teams. Perhaps bracket integrity also helps the higher seeds, though. Some neutral fans nearby at the games were saying they were rethinking their practice of rooting for the underdog every time, as it could lead to three games worth of disappointment! Anyway, a great tournament.

It looked to me we were wearing the Badgers down. Late in the 3rd when play stopped you started seeing their players bent over with hands on knees.

Almost 4,400 at the NCAA game yesterday. Over 7,000 at the pw game in Minn at the same time. Ridder next year for the frozen four should be completely sold out.
