We probably figured this would happen, but that takes nothing away from the Orange women's team at all.
The Syracuse Orange women's basketball team went on a magical run just like the men's team did. But unfortunately, they too fell short of their ultimate goal: winning a national title.
SU's women got themselves a round further -- to the championship game -- but the Connecticut Huskies, as ESPN told you all week and all game tonight, were just too good to beat. The Orange started down 9-0 en route to an 82-51 defeat.
