      That's what happened to Gonzaga Mens 2-3 years ago after they won an emotional NCAA Final Four game in overtime against UCLA. They fell flat in the Championship game vs. Baylor.

    Caitlin and her team played their hearts out! The best team won! Both teams have great players. Go Buckeyes!

    What an amazing performance! So fun to watch. I'm more interested in the women's final than the men's because of her.
