Stunning results at NCAA tournament. Maryland taken out by upset-minded Oregon, Notre Dame out, Baylor (with one of the most talented and experienced rosters) losing to Mississippi State... Lady Bears finished with better shooting accuracy but Bulldogs took more shots and had a career night from their midget guard Morgan William (41 pts and 6 threes).Comment

Well deserved first title won by South Carolina against Mississippi State. Bulldogs had very little left after the ot win over UConn in the semis. Gamecocks won the game without hitting a single 3-pointer (taking just three shots) and relying mainly on eventual MVP A'ja Wilson and guard Allysha Gray.
The final capped a great Div. I season, with amazing individual (Kelsey Plum) and team (UConn) records, and huge tournament upsets achieved by cinderella Miss State.Comment
