3:11 am
stretch of any team in american sports ever. for syracuse, as a number four seed, they were a very unexpected guest at the final four in indianapolis. so let alone at the championship game. so they were definitely the underdog in this game but you know what, if you're going to lose, it might, as well be to what some are calling the best team in sports history. >> definitely the epitome of a dynasty. >> yeah, very interesting. bianna stewart, she started and four years ago and said she really wanted to win four titles and they made it happen. >> and her accomplishment in all of this is incredible, as well. four-time mvp, first time ever done here in the sport, as well. and there's so much to get to with the team's accomplishments you can't around to giving her proper credit. >> mike tyson was watching it and tweeted out congratulations. the tweet says congrats to the university of cincinnati women's basketball team for a national championship win four years in a
