Here is my UConn/Oregon Post Game Report.

Here is my UConn/Mississippi State Pre Game Report.
***********************************************************************************

There are quotes all over the place for us to read. Here is the link to the ASAP Sports transcripts from the four coaches as the final four. Some great quotes there.

But here is the one I like best from all the quotes I have seen. It's from Gabby Williams.

"I'm really proud of how we have matured," Williams said. "At the beginning of the year, we just made really tough plays at the right time. Now we've put ourselves in the position where we don't necessarily have to make those super, out-of-this-world plays that may or may not go well for us. We have grown up and stepped up and we're playing like a really mature team right now."

Wow. It's explains a lot about how this team has performance has improved over the season. This is NOT the same team that struggled with Florida State in the season opener. And we will see more of that mature play in the Final Four.

More awards pouring in for the UConn players. Samuelson, Collier and Williams were all on the ten player U.S. Basketball Writers Association All-America Team.

A great honor and if I'm not mistaken, this will get Williams on the Wall of Fame at UConn.

Congrats to them all!!!
