WOW!!!!!!!!!!! They combined for 64 points (19-38 shooting), nine three-pointers, six assists, and three turnovers tonight.
Allow that to sink in for a moment.
Hoop, eyevolley, and TheWildJacko, congratulations. Your girls are ON FIRE! Oh, and I admit that I was 100% wrong about Wiggins (and Hones, for that matter). The more I see her this year, the more I wish she would've come to Duke. She is the SHIT, and I'd like nothing more than to see her win it all in Tampa (yes, I'll be cheering my butt off for 'Furd thanks to Wiggins' touching display of exuberance). Good luck to the Cardinal the rest of the way.

man, thanks so much. I am soooooo happy for Candice and the team. I really had a good feeling about tonight. Great game plan by the coaches and awesome execution by everyone. Sat it was Ros, tonight it was JJ and Kayla -and CW. Friggin awesome move by Tara to put Pedersen on the wing to hit those threes.
Tara has done one HELL of a job coaching this year after losing 2 players o ACLs and 2 losses the first week of the conf. Say it again, soooo happy for her the team.
See you in Tampa baby!

Note to Tara:
Next year, can we PLEASE see Appel at the 5, Nneka at the 4, and Kayla at the 3 at least some of the time?
But first, take care of this year in Tampa!
OK, I'm finally going to bed.
FINAL FOUR!!

Tara told the boosters earlier this yr she was going to move Kaya to the 3 next yr and have Nneka at the 4. I somewhat question that as Kayla is our best rebounder, but I have a feeling Nneka will be awesome too.

You're right, Kayla is an awesome rebounder. BUT, Nneka just might be better. She has looked so athletic in the videos I've seen of her and the effort she puts in to catch passes and rebounds is pretty amazing.

Thank you.
The resurgence in the program Stanford has been phenomenal. I don't think you can appreciate this experience nearly as much without last season's disappointment and the two near-Final Fours the two seasons previous to that. The hunger just grows inside you, and I'm thrilled that Wiggins gets to take a bite out of the Final Four. It just feels like that is what she was made for!

And hopefully, it will just continue to grow. We need some more of this kind of action out west. Hopefully, it wiil quiet the critics a bit.
Now we need the rest of our Pac-10 teams to step up and keep the conference competitive.

On her official to visit to Duke, EVERYONE fell in love with Candice...players, coaches, WCBB staff, people in the athletic department. They couldn't stop talking about what a great person she was. To this day, people still talk about how much she would have meant to the program and how great it would have been to have her.

thanks Cam and bballfan205, that's why I'm so happy for her, she's just a great person and obviously special player. Tara loves her like no other player she's had.
I felt bad for MD, but they tasted the success of NC and F4, so I wanted Candice to experience the same feeling.

Once again, a day late...well, a half a day late. I'm still on vacation.  What a game by Stanford! And Maryland as well. I like both teams so I'm said one of them had to lose. But for purely sentimental reasons, I'm glad Stanford is going to the Final Four. I can't think of a player in women's basketball that deserves a Final Four more than Candice Wiggins. She has been so amazing (this season and throughout her career) and her pure emotion at the end of the game and in the interview was really heartwarming.
Special shoutout to hoopfan. You were the first person I thought of at the end of the game. You must be so psyched right now. I know you've been waiting a long time for this. First Stanford gets the Tennessee monkey off their back earlier this year, now they get the Final Four monkey off after 11 years of close calls. Maybe it's fate!! 
So congrats to hoop, eyevolley, keegan, and all the other Stanford fans on the board. Enjoy your victory. And to the Terps fans, take heart in your great season, your 2006 championship, and another year of Toliver and Coleman.

hey PA. thanks so much. It really means a lot. I got teary eyed when I saw Candice' post game interview with Heather. Wow.
I just got home from Spokane after only about 1 hour of sleep. Heading to Tampa on Sat.
whoa!
