It wasn't a fluke. I want to come back strong again this year.

I just think the smaller schools have caught up to the larger schools. The top teams have two or three good players. In the old days there was players like Magic or Michael Jordan, a real good player that could carry a team.

I took first last year and to have a chance to win again heading into the Final Four feels pretty good. I like to pull for the underdog. I was going to root for George Mason anyway.

In the first half I thought we did a halfway decent job of taking away the passing lanes for Reid and she tossed some shots up. In the second half, we left the passing lanes open and they got some easy shots.
