Women’s Elite 8

laker has to be out of chocolate milk after that one

I limited myself to one glass so I have enough for breakfast. It was delicious! My feed froze for the first two minutes of the third quarter when they cut the lead. Great win but losing Destinee is huge. Survive and advance.

I did see President Inch in the crowd. I really like that guy. Talked to him before the men's regional final in the Johnson Alumni room about the football stadium.

Not to get off topic, but what did he have to say?

[Purple Mav Man]

Hopefully Destinee can get some good rest and a lot of ice on it, please lord bless the knees and keep them healthy!

While I agree…she seemed to know that she wasn’t going to play anymore this year. I hope that isn’t true.

Same here. She's been my favorite women's player for the Mavs since Heather Johnson.

A new stadium would cost about 40 million. For another 10 million they could put a cover on it and use it year round. He seemed to be talking about a dome rather than a temporary bubble. Once they get about 25 million in major donations they would open it up for smaller ones. Hopes to be done by 2028. I asked him about using it for classrooms like Tennessee did with their stadium. He said that to do that the state would make them retire some other building. Now using it as a dorm would be another matter. He sounded very positive and of course money doesn't grow on trees.

Thanks, I'll let that sit for the Football page!

I wonder if anyone has ears from the Girls team on what they determined what happened to Destinee, and if there's any hope of playing tomorrow at 830?

Do we know if Bursch is playing?

[Purple Mav Man]

Ironically, Texas Woman’s will play for the women’s title on Friday night.

[zimmy21]

Do we know if Bursch is playing?

Couldn't get a peep out of anyone. Guess we'll find out very quickly

[Purple Mav Man]

Do we know if Bursch is playing?

About 1/3 speed

[zimmy21]

Really missing full power Destinee, and our size down low in Russo. Just can't get a rebound on defense

[Purple Mav Man]

Well, that’s one team in. Glad that one’s over, wow.

[msumavfan]

What a tough hard fought win. Hopefully Bursch is able to heal up a little more. I don’t know how Russo will be in a couple days but she didn’t seem good. Great win Mavs!

[ucmjennies]

That was a gutsy win! On to the ship on friday. Go Mavs!

[Purple Mav Man]

Bremer’s shoulders will be sore from carrying the team. What a game.

Bursch played well for what she had physically. A couple great assists and buckets.

Batt had to back off a bit due to fouls. She didn’t have her offense tonight but always solid all around.

Herzberg with some FT issues, then makes the game winner. She was ever present tonight.

Schweim with some real solid minutes, big plays on both sides when needed.

Herzig…FTs. Yikes. She is a beast on D, but really struggled on offense.

Moving on to the championship game. Go Mavs 🤘🏻😈
