Perfection! Baylor 40-0

DENVER – Notre Dame and Baylor used the same prod to propel themselves through the season.

Their meeting Tuesday for the NCAA Division I women’s basketball championship at the Pepsi Center was a crusade, each team intent on righting past wrongs: Notre Dame’s loss in last year’s title game, Baylor’s elimination in last season’s Elite Eight.

Texas A&M, the defending national champion, left them both in a bad mood last season. So each program embraced slogans dealing with their unfinished business.

But there would be just one campaign celebrated in a mile-high shower of confetti. And the first piece should have dropped on the head of the game’s tallest figure, Baylor’s 6-foot-8 center, Brittney Griner, who was named the Final Four's most outstanding player.

She was the one, a presence as well as the punctuation mark, who blocked the light at the end of Notre Dame’s tunnel.

Led by Griner, who scored 26 points, with 13 rebounds and five blocks, and coaxed on by an energized coach, Kim Mulkey, Baylor defeated Notre Dame 80-61 to win its second national championship.

In the process, Baylor completes the first 40-0 season in the history of the sport. That’s finished business, a good year’s work.

The Irish (35-4), the Big East’s regulars-season champion, were led by junior guard Skylar Diggins, who had 20 points. But no one in green could rebound with the Lady Bears, who had a 46-27 advantage. And that was crushing to the Irish, who are 0-3 in national championship games since 2001.

The Irish lost to Baylor by 13 points in Waco, Texas on Nov. 20, perhaps the worst game they played this season. It was a performance fraught with bad shooting and a critical rebounding deficit fueled by the Baylor posts, Griner and Destiny Williams, who combined for 47 points (32 from Griner), 27 rebounds and five of Griner’s 201 regular-season blocks.

The Irish hoped their experience, accentuated by the grit of fifth-year players Devereaux Peters and Brittany Mallory, plus the magic of Diggins and Natalie Novosel, would be able to make up the difference.

It wasn’t enough. Notre Dame, which led 9-8 in the opening minutes, fought back from a 14-point, first-half deficit with 6:53 to play. They were within three, 42-39, with 15:27 to play, relying primarily on guile.

But there simply wasn’t anything they could do to compensate for what nature gave Griner - and Griner gave Baylor.

Rocawear Features Jay-Z in Commercial for The 1st Time

Rocawear ad features Jay-Z for the 1st Time.

Although the founder has been featured in several print ads, Jay-Z has never been featured in a Rocawear television commercial.

I find this interesting because in business and in art, you always have to find ways to reinvent yourself to remain relevant to the times.  Maybe Jay knew to stay away in order to make it a big deal if he eventually did.  Who Knows.

Through the times, Jay-Z has remained relevant through his obvious success more so than just Jay-Z the rapper but as Jay-Z the brand.  I guess he really is not just a business man, but a Business, man!

You KNOW I had to do it...
