fear the turtle
On the ladies side, the Duke Blue Devils fell short in their latest attempt to capture the ncaa crown, losing 78-75 to Maryland, a team they had lost to just once in the previous 15 tries. The Blue Devils were up 13 at one point, and just as they did in an early season Carolina game, they blew it down the stretch, resulting in the 2nd biggest comeback in women's tournament history. A huge turning point was what could end up being the most clutch 3 pt shot of freshman Kristi Toliver's college career-- the one that tied the game up at the end of regulation (see below). It doesn't take much to tell that i'm a Duke fan, but I have to give Maryland credit for getting the job done. Better luck next year, ladies. (fun fact: Gail Goestenkors is the coach with the 4th best tournament record, [34-12 = 0.739], but each of the three coaches ahead of her have at least 2 titles.)
