Subject: ... of course I meant 80 years.
In reply to: DAve 's message, "Well Xavier men have been playing for ome 8 years and women for 30 and I hve been following for 27. Certainly this was "one of the best" of all time but I have memories of some others right up there with it. This team DID have the best record and go the farthest in an NCAA tournament." on 11:25:16 03/31/01 Sat

>>For those who were fortunate enough to watch the games
>>on TV or even more fortunate to see the games in
>>person in Birmingham, you cannot feel anything but
>>proud of the Xavier program.
>>
>>First, there was the semifinal against Saturday.
>>Tennessee was never able to answer the speed and
>>shooting of the Muskies, and their defense was just
>>awful against X. The ladies picked their shots well,
>>and were able to overcome the crowd, refs, and not
>>least of all, the Lady Vols. I don't know what Summitt
>>said to Balcomb after the end of the game, but that
>>game was the best game any Xavier team has ever
>played.
>>
>>As for Purdue, they actually did their homework on the
>>Muskies: their PG (Komara) did a good job pressuring
>>Amy and Reetta, and their post player (Cooper) did a
>>great job in the paint, although getting help from the
>>refs certainly did not help the Muskies' cause. Taking
>>Jen Phillips out of the game with her 4th foul was the
>>most horrendous call I've seen this year.
>>
>>The ladies have absolutely nothing to be ashamed
>>about, and they have left a legacy for the younger
>>players (Waugh, Piipari, Kreager, Bell, etc.) to
>>follow. I have a feeling that we may see 3 jerseys
>>being retired after this year: #5 (Taru Tuukkanen),
>>#20 (Jennifer Phillips), and #40 (Nicole Levandusky).
>>To them, and to Jennifer Parr and Erin Hall, thank you
>>for a great 4 years! The community of Xavier is
>>indebted to you gals.
>>
>>As for Coach Balcomb, she deserves a big fat raise,
>>and may get another if she can reload and send next
>>year's team back to the NCAA tournament. This may be
>>the start of a dynasty at Xavier; someone else will
>>now get to step up and take the Muskies to another
>>level.
>>
>>Thanks for an awesome season!
