2006 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!
Congrats Maryland Women!!!!!!!
(from umterps.com)
Maryland trailed by as many as 13 points in the second half, but then started to rally. After tying the game at the 6:15 mark, Duke took the lead back into the closing minute. Kristi Toliver's three-pointer with six seconds remaining tied the game at 70 and sent it to overtime. Toliver hit two free throws with 34 seconds left to give Maryland the lead. Marissa Coleman hit two more free throws to give the Terps a 78-75 lead. Maryland held true to its motto: "Overtime is our time!" The Terps finish the season with a 6-0 record in overtime games. Maryland tied USC in 1988 for the second largest deficit overcome in the national championship game.
ESPN:
Shell Shocked:
Overtime is Terrapin time. And now, paint Maryland a title town. Kristi Toliver's icy 3 forced OT, where the Terps stayed perfect this year and beat Duke 78-75 on Tuesday for their first women's hoops title.
CNNSI:
Turtle Power:
Overtime belongs to Maryland. So does the NCAA championship. The Terps overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to beat Duke 78-75.
CBS Sportsline:
Terp'n Time:
Maryland sure knows how to make history. The Lady Terrapins beat Duke 78-75 to win their first national championship after erasing a 13-point deficit. Kristi Toliver's 3-pointer and clutch FTs are the difference.

Look I wasn't trying to say anything on my blog but let's face it, women's sports have no entertainment value whatsoever. You got the Golden Globe but not the Oscar.
That being said, I ain't no hater. CONGRATS! Go Lady Terps!!

Very good Golden Globe/Oscar analogy - its true, its no mens championship (by FAR) but hey, that game was damn exciting and I found myself suprisingly very into it and more excited than I have been for a mens game in awhile
