So it's very much giving all of the insider info, vibes, stories, tea from the scene at the final four. We've got a full show, Logan, so let's get to it.

You know, I actually think it could be the continuance of dominance coming out of this championship for UConn. And they may not feel the loss of Paige Beckers, who was an incredible talent, but I still think UConn can be great even after now she graduates. Because when fully healthy, UConn was head and shoulders better than the competition. They gassed UCLA and South Carolina.

And so for me, the point that I make doesn't even need stats to be proven. It's more about qualities and characteristics and culture of the program. I'll point to the pace of play that UConn plays with. I'll point to the execution of cuts of passes in their offense, the backdoor passes, the beauty of it.

against tough defenses and then on the other side uconn's not just an offensive team they were tough on defense and they were able to create defense um offense off of that defense this is a team that's incredibly unselfish sacrificing roles for one another and one thing that really stands out about uconn over the course of decades is their conditioning level

they have a fitness x-factor and even when i was playing at stanford against yukon teams of old they always were so well conditioned that over the course of the game they would just wear on you and then suddenly they'd be pulling away because fatigue said and it's harder and harder to execute so For these qualities, I'm less worried about Paige Becker's graduating.

As great as she is, Gino's a brilliant coach. The offense will further just kind of focus in on working around Sarah Strong, who, Logan, Sarah Strong as a freshman had a great case for the most outstanding player of the Final Four. you know, and easily could have won that if it didn't go to AZ Fudd, who was also great, who next season will now have two, a second year of being healthy.

That's just like another step forward physically and mentally for what she'll be able to do on the court. And then all those role players will be looking for expanded roles. Your KK Arnold, your Ashlyn Shades, your Ice Bradys, your Janas, you know, and a transfer portal might get a win or two for UConn. So I expect them to be very strong next season as long as they're able to stay healthy.

Oh, Dawn. Dawn had a wrinkle up her sleeve. A birdie flew into the nest for South Carolina Gamecocks. This is a game changer. This is huge. Taniya Ladson coming to South Carolina. You mentioned her 25 points per game. It's also about four and a half rebounds, four and a half assists per game. But more importantly, here is a player who was able to create her own shot off of the bounce.

to the rim for the pull-up jumper against tough defenses in tight, tough situations. South Carolina now has a go-to score that is veteran that they can lean on and go to. And for the most part,

You know, I was really impressed with Joyce Edwards, you know, as a freshman stepping up so big in the final four, especially she was kind of having a slump for a couple of games there. So to find what it took to fight her way out of it, I had the chance to get to know her and speak with her during the final four during my reporting.
