So here’s my argument – the Huskies were not cheated at all today. They got their well-deserved recognition. We were on our feet. The volume of support in Madison Square Garden was top-notch. Counting down from 25 seconds, everyone rose and started chanting, "Eighty-Eight! Eighty-Eight!" (see video below) The level of enthusiasm was comparable to any other professional sports game that I’ve experienced in my lifetime. And it came from the inside, from the core women’s basketball community.

We don’t need mainstream support to acknowledge achievement. All we need to do is come together and get a little louder. And we don’t always need a history-breaking record as an excuse to do it. It can start with a simple conversation, an email, a comment, or a tweet. We just need to start talking.
