SCREAMIN' FROM THE CHEAP SEATS. Who am I bellowing at today? Screaming at the top of my lungs at none other than the people connected with the NCAA Women's Final Four at Amalie Arena in Tampa. Not yelling in anger but in admiration.

Kudos to the NCAA for putting on a first class event. Also a big shout out to the University of South Florida who acted as the host institution. Finally a big thank you to the city of Tampa for rolling out the red carpet for the last destination in the Road to March Madness concluded in West Central

I won't say that the Woman's version of March Madness didn't go off without a hitch. What I will say is that any hiccup that occurred was dealt with immediately and rectified.

I won't say they were the most exciting games. South Carolina beat Texas 74-57 and Connecticut outscored UCLA XX-XX. What I will say is that all four participants in the Women's Final Four had remarkable seasons and as we say in the coaching profession left it all on the court. They played hard in front of 19,731 vocal fans at sold out Amalie Arena.

Sadly, there has to be a winner and a loser. The Gamecocks and the Huskies will play for the title while the Longhorns and the Bruins will head home.

Three programs will come out on the short end of the outcome but all four they will eventually celebrate the journey to get get to The Sunshine State. It's brutally difficult to get to a Final Four and when the players and coaches look back on the experience all four teams will have a sense of pride for surviving and advancing to compete on the biggest stage when it comes to NCAA Women's basketball. For that I salute you.

Book it Dano!
