While it probably wasn't because the looked passed em, you predicted correctly.

The last four minutes of this game were excellent and the ending was as good as any men's tournament game.

That's a pretty high bar.

and I stand by it.

A&M outscored Stanford 19-8 coming down to the end. It was an excellent final two minutes with several lead changes and great, well executed ball. The final points were scored with A&M scoring with 3.3 seconds left on a full court play (with no TO's left) after Stanford took the lead with 10 seconds left.

Better than Duke/Kentucky? Better than Bryce Drew? I'll take your word for it (watching 1978 Superman with the family; daughter's first time seeing it).

My point of course being that this was an excellent finish - and while many here aren't excited at calling/watching "girls" ball, this was a good one.

I don't disagree with this. I enjoy a good girls game, too. I do not, however, get them as often as with boys.

Agreed. That's my experience too.

I am glad I left my office to watch the last 1:30, it was a great finish. BUT, it did lack an actual buzzer beater, so I can't rank it as high as the Kentucky/Duke game. I will say it would be pretty high up there though in finishes considering it was a final four game.

I'll concede this point.
