How do you sum up UConn's latest national title under Geno Auriemma?
The answer for ESPN's Ryan Ruocco is to focus on Huskies superstar Paige Bueckers, who proved she was the biggest superstar in the women's NCAA tournament who's finishing a storybook college career as she presumably heads to the WNBA.
As the clock ticked down to UConn's 82-59 blowout of South Carolina, Ruocco had this to say: "The final Paige in the book of Bueckers is title No. 12 for UConn."
Heck yeah. That's a perfect call. And folks on the internet agreed that it was so good. Here's a roundup of reaction:
