All year long she said that nobody was going to beat them and it sure looked like it to me too. I knew if Iowa had any chance that Caitlin Clark would have to have the game she did (41 pts). Iowa did us the biggest favor because South Carolina matched up really well against us.

I also know that’s why Kim was so emotional. She won in 2005 when she wasn’t supposed to. This year felt similarly. South Carolina was the best team all year long. Every small victory along the way opened the door for this moment. Very happy for the ladies, and the way our bracket set up was actually ideal in hindsight

You can only play the teams that are good enough to advance to the next level.

If LSU was going to shoot 54% from the field and 65% of their threes against South Carolina, I think we were they had a pretty good chance of beating them too.

No team could beat LSU if they scored 102 points period.

The way they played, they would’ve beat the shite out of SCAR too. LSU is the real, true, and deservedly champions. No asterisk on this title.

Kim was feeding rat poison to SC by calling them the greatest. She thought she might face them in the tournament and was working that angle in hopes of creating any advantage that she could.

Being all of the confetti was in South Carolina colors, pretty sure not a single entity expected them to lose. Tigers had other plans to win it regardless of who they faced.

I think Kim was just trying to motivate the Tigers and keep their spirits up after the SC loss.
Surprise! It worked.

We scored 131 points in our last 5 quarters of play.

29-13 4th quarter vs VaTech
27-22 1st Quarter vs Iowa
32-20 2nd quarter vs Iowa
16-22 3rd quarter vs Iowa
27-21 4th quarter vs Iowa

We scored 30 points in a 7 and a half minute span in the 2nd quarter vs Iowa.

South Carolina would not have beaten us on Sunday night.
