Well, that sucked.
Just when it looked like we’d all be heading to Tampa next week, the Terrapin women’s basketball season ended here in Spokane on Monday night.
The Terps played well in the 98-87 loss. But Stanford played one of the best games I have ever seen.
Candice Wiggins was ridiculous, scoring 41 points and showing incredible range.
After the game, Crystal Langhorne, Marissa Coleman, Kristi Toliver and Brenda Frese all had tears in their eyes when they walked into the press conference.
Langhorne started sobbing when she answered her first question, and Frese started crying again when Langhorne did.
Langhorne and Laura Harper sat consoling each other in a corner of the Terps’ locker room afterward, and nobody seemed willing to believe that the season was actually over.
After following them so closely for the past several months, it was definitely tough to see it all end.
The Terps had a good run. It’s too bad they couldn’t keep it going for one more week.
