| Summary |
"It's still difficult to describe the scene after the final buzzer sounded, because the moment was just so damned surreal," writes head coach Gary Blair following the conclusion of the title game of the 2011 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament. "So many things happened that I will never forget ... kissing my wife on the floor of Conseco Fieldhouse ... looking toward the stands, where my grandson was ... flashbulbs popping as the Aggie Band played triumphantly ... our players and coaches wildly celebrating the biggest win in women's basketball history at Texas A & M ... tears. |
