Lady Vols finish third in final poll

Connecticut entered the women’s NCAA tournament at No. 1 on Monday — the seventh time UConn finished with the top ranking but the first time since 2003.

The Huskies, which began the season at No. 2, led the final Associated Press poll with 49 of 50 first-place votes from a national media panel. North Carolina drew the other first-place vote.

Connecticut was ranked first in 12 of the final 13 weeks with the only blemish coming when the Huskies lost at Rutgers. The Huskies won the Big East tournament on Tuesday knocking off No. 23 Louisville 65-59.

The top seven teams remained the same with most finishing up their conference tournaments early in the week. North Carolina, Tennessee, Stanford, Maryland, LSU and Rutgers followed the Huskies. UConn, North Carolina, Tennessee, Stanford, Maryland and Rutgers were all ranked in the Top 10 for the entire seaso

Geez, Foolmore - what an utterly pathetic existence you must live, endlessly droning on with your out-of-context infantile rants about Coach Fulmer. You must be overcompensating for something, and I'm increasingly suspicious it's lack of a brain. History shows you won't grow up, so I'll have to be content with being thankful that I don't live, work, or play anywhere near you. By the way, have you ever accomplished anything of significance? (Tying your shoes properly does not count.) Coach Fulmer has, in the most challenging of venues. Unless you have superior credentials, why don't you just shut up? You do not have to be such a jerk to convey that you're a little disgruntled with recent performance (I know, winning the SEC east and being 1 interception away from the winning the SEC is just pathetic).
