This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Thx, as Usual, for the Research and Story... by dillon77

..I learned quite a bit.

-- ND is 3 and 3 against UConn in recent Final Fours, with all three wins in the semi's. That will lead to bracket watching in the future!

-- Mulkey's Baylor teamss with Griner and Sims only got to the final 4 once?
Wow...given the singular nature of Griner and Sim's ability, would've expect more.

Wallace's injury hurt them against OSU when it called for upperclassman leadership and none of the younger guards could give it.

Still, Kim's got to feel the pressure to maximize her twin towers while she has them. A'quira DaCosta will help them athletically, but let's see if any of young guards can guide the ship. Maybe Kim will toughen up the out-of-conference schedule this year.

-- As good as Karen Alston has been recruiting at Texas, I still expect Mulkey to be the primary rep of that conference to the Final Four (if at all).

-- Dawn maximized South Carolina's run, but was helped beyond belief by A'ja Wilson. No A'ja, no title. Will have to see if any one of the good forwards she has left steps up.
