The East Room of the White House was still buzzing with applause after President Biden entered the storied reception hall Tuesday afternoon with the NCAA men’s basketball champions from the University of Connecticut. 

As the final seconds ticked down on the NCAA Division One Women’s Basketball Championship game, my overwhelming thought for the teams was, “Relief!” When the final buzzer sounded with South Carolina 87 and Iowa 75, I felt delighted for coach Dawn Staley and her Gamecocks team.
