Texas A&M advances to National Championship Game

[ESPNGuy]

WOW.

They beat #1 seed Stanford, 63-62 in a defensive battle today. Doesn't Gary Blair have ties to Louisiana Tech??

[Cal&Ken]

Oh yes, he was an asst. for many years. WTG Gary- I hope they win it all!

That was a great game! So glad A&M won!

Gary Blair won 2 national championships as an assistant coach for the Lady Techsters.

Texas A&M will face Notre Dame for the National Championship on Tuesday, as ND has just defeated UConn.

Now THAT'S a surprise. I wasn't surprised to see TA&M advance this far......before the tournament I told everybody here on BB&B that A&M was a FINAL FOUR quality team. However, seeing UCONN lose to fellow Big East competitor Notre Dame wasn't expected.

So, both Baylor and UCONN lost to fellow conference mates after beating those same conference teams 3 times (each) earlier this year. Amazing.

Both games were exciting and fun to watch. The A&M game was more fun as it came down to two remarkable shots in the final 20 seconds. Love having Blaire (a class act) being in the NC game! I have never seen a defense that fights that hard before. I have seen them play 3 times this year and they never disappoint. ND has Skyler Diggins, but A&M has the best defense in the country. I predict A&M wins it all! I will be cheering them on Tuesday!

Good games! Was rooting for aTm (Coach Blair) and Notre Dame. Glad that none of the #1 seeds...hate all four of those teams....made it through.

I hope A&M wins. That would be quite an impressive record for Tech if it happened. What other school would have three assistants who won NC's while an assistant and then won NC's as head coaches on their own.

Think he will wear Lady Techster blue tomorrow night? :icon_wink:

Yeah, wonder if GB's staff goes shopping for him and includes that color . . . . like KM's staff did for her prior to their NC game.

When I saw A&M play in Bossier, I was impressed. Danielle Adams has got some unbeliveable moves and can shoot like a guard. It was funny to read on here, Rutgers will probably beat A&M, yeah right.

The defensive coach for A&M is really good....
