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.

A buzzer beater is a nice ending, but a defending champion losing in the semi when they've lost only one total game in the last three years is a great ending, no matter WHAT the spread.

Seeing Auriemma literally clutching his hair in both fists was PRICELESS!!

Not that I begrudge them their wins, although I do, but they have earned them. But it's always nice to see such a Goliath fall!

And, btw, there are NO number 1's left in either final. THat's kinda cool. And although "parity" in women's is a long ways from equaling men's, still, none of the women's power teams from the last five years are in the final, and it's the first Final 4 for Texas A & M. So here is a baby step forward in the direction of parity.

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.
