Bruins!

UCLA / FSU
Poor Seminoles. Don't know if someone slipped a mickey in Stepanova's sklandu rausi, but FSU never looked like they wanted to remember the Alamo. You remember the Alamo, right? Small building, no basement?

USC / Illinois
Another five-gamer for the Trojans! It's Illinois! It's USC! It's...possibly the greatest match point ever played in such a big moment. Hagglund put on quite a show, but Ward and Bartsch were just a wee bit too much.

The Finals
For three games, it was nip-and-tuck. But then Nip left town and Tuck went back to Casa Rio. Kidder's shots from the outside were so sharp you could have cut cheese on them. Sliced. Sliced cheese. Van Orden became everyone's favorite underdog story.

Delightfully Confusing Interlude: Kerri Walsh seemed to be saying that Destinee Hooker was her new beach partner, didn't she?

Meanwhile, TV viewers at home were reminded over, and over, and over again that Jeanne Reaves was pregnant with Kelly at the 1991 final four. Look, TV producers or whatever, it's a nice story when you mention it a couple of times. Anymore than that, and people not only don't care anymore, but start actively wishing a large hammer would smash their TV.

Game four was over way too quickly, and the Bruins, after two years with their new head coach, are the toast of Westwood.
