but it was the sacrifice that allowed them to win this championship.

And I just think it's again an incredible testament to Staley to her flexibility, to her ability

to connect with her players and also just again X's and O's, the defensive game plan for Clark was really solid and I

don't think the fact that she kind of lit them up in the first quarter was that not

going to play out.

Hello everybody and welcome to this week's edition of the late sub.

Honestly, we're just going to jump right in because there is too much to talk about.

As you can probably tell different background today, I am in Ohio where I was just at the Women's Final Four

in Cleveland.

I'm actually camped out in Columbus right now

because I'm going to be going to the US Women's

National Team game on Tuesday night, but wow.

What a weekend, definitely worth it to be there in person.

If I'm rambling a little bit today, if my voice sounds a little bit like I'm losing it, It's hard to describe the loudness of the environment

that I was in over the weekend,

whether it was the Final Four Games,

whether it was even just being outside of the arena in

Cleveland, whether it was being in the arena in Cleveland, especially when I was

playing. It was a lot of fighting to be heard. I know people, you know, the joke that like Cleveland

rocks, let me tell you, Cleveland was rocking this weekend. What a blast.

Over 18,000 people attended all three of the games,

the two final four games and the national championship.
