UConn routed Louisville to win their eighth national title.
Freshman Breanna Stewart was Most Outstanding Player.
Most interesting Final Four quote to me was that of UConn’s Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis on Breanna Stewart: “That’s Stewie – she’s emotionless.”
1. That could make for a brilliant career.
2. I always thought KML emotionless when she was playing at Mater Dei.
