the consensus (not the unanimous opinion) on this board about Geno consistently underappreciates just how difficult it is to repeat and to win with the biggest bull's-eye in the country on your back.

I'm extremely proud of this program, the staff and the players. But if it were as simple as fielding the most talented lineup, this team wouldn't have lost a game.

Again, that's not meant as a criticism, but an observation of the enormous challenge they faced all season long.

And they responded admirably to that challenge. Along with their obvious skill, as reaffirmed by tonight's draft, they were incredibly resilient -- in individual games and over the course of the season.


This Team Proved How Good They Really Were

Down by as much a 17 points, this team did not claw their way back into
the game. They showed the world how good they really are. They came within
seconds of doing the impossible. You can not fault them for coming up short
by 1 point. They gave it their all and left it all on the court.

...This team was normally a slow starting team as it is. But the amount
of pressure on these women to win is unreal. Everyone every day is telling
them your going for history. That in itself is incredible to over come.
They than had to come back from a 17 point hole. Against probably the
best offensive and defensive teams in the country. Baylor also substituted
more than the Irish. I am so proud of this team. I believe I can say this
is my favorite ND BB team ever. I have been following ND for over 55 years.

...I caught the tale end of Jackie's interview after she was selected
number1. I kept asking myself, Who is that that just went number 1. When
they said Jackie's name, I had to go back to the bathroom. Did not
recognize her out of uniform. Arike I recognized the 2 bigs, but most of
the rest looked totally different out of uniform.

...Does anyone have a time machine available...Thanks
