I’d be remiss if I didn’t send you to the game report. Thanks again for following along with me today.
So the most compelling women’s basketball season ever has come to an end with what felt like an inevitability to anyone who saw South Carolina play this season.
And South Carolina might just keep doing this. They’ll lose Cardoso and Paopao. But Chloe Kitts, Raven Johnson and Ashlyn Watkins are sophomores. Tessa Johnson and MiLaysia Fulwiley are just getting started. Arguably, this is more impressive than UConn’s dominant runs, as women’s basketball has more parity than it did during some of those years. And again – Dawn Staley put together an unbeaten season after losing all five starters.
South Carolina’s quest for back-to-back unbeaten seasons will be worth watching next year. So will the WNBA, with Clark, Cardoso, Angel Reese and other players who have played before eight-figure TV viewing audiences move into the pros.
Join me again tomorrow night. Apparently, there’s a men’s game. And maybe it’ll be time to give Dan Hurley some overdue recognition – if UConn can stop Zach the Giant. See you then.
