Final Four, with Heart Attack
UConn vs. Kentucky:
First few minutes: UConn opens the game 9-0. Fun fun fun!
Rest of the first half: Kentucky fights back and eventually takes the lead with 5:49 left. After that it's a back-and-forth, with the teams tied 39-39 with two seconds left.
Last two seconds of the first half: Tiffany Hayes hail-mary's the ball down the court, right over the head of a sprinting-to-the-basket Kelly Faris, who catches the ball, dribbles once, and makes the layup before the buzzer sounds. (Soundless clip can be found here.) (Let's try this from ESPN.)
First ten minutes or so of the second half: More back-and-forth.
Last ten minutes of the second half: UConn finally starts to pull ahead.
UConn wins! 80-65.
Now they play Notre Dame (again!) in Denver on Sunday.
Just like last year, this will be their fourth meeting with Notre Dame of the year. (And just like last year, the other two teams -- Baylor & Stanford -- haven't met this season.)
