The Fighting
Irish versus the Tree
Winner to the
Final Four to against UConn a hopeful upset victory
Cardinal
blown out in second quarter by 18-0 Notre Dame run
Any chance
to a Final Four seemed toast totally done
Not sure
what the Stanford coach with over a thousand wins in the locker said or what she did
But in the second
half the Cardinal stood its ground and stopped into a blowout loss the skid
Back and forth,
back and forth both teams gave their all
But slowly
but surely the Notre Dame lead was mauled
Lead change
after lead change each shot crucial, likewise each miss
But near the
end Stanford had climbed out of the losing abyss
A one point Stanford
lead with less than three seconds to go
Notre Dame
inbounding in their court to go to the Final Four show
Alas for the
Fighting Irish a Final Four trip not to be
The gods of
hoops on this day shined upon the Tree
Great
players on the court are poetry in motion accelerating to the basket in hyper
in time
They blow
past into layups or shoot threes after stopping on the dime
Watching
them play is always the case of the best of show time
Better yet for
a poet their names as a Cardinal are easy to rhyme
Today Brittany
McPhee and a Samuelson named Carlie
Should give
the Huskies a reason to soon fear the Stanford Tree
