irishrush Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I watched some of the game. Lots of girls just getting back and into the rotation. We seemed pretty disjointed. I think there are a lot of good pieces - just need to play together a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a lot of good pieces - just need to play together a little. I agree. There are many good pieces but young and need to learn how to play with each other. Ivy also needs to figure out a good rotation with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND_JACK Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Not good ND losses ACC home opener by 15 to Georgia Tech. ND won the previous 13 games against them and preseason polls did not have GT . Someone tell me I shouldn’t worry....the teams young....the season young. Now ND overall record is 2-3. https://und.com/irish-drop-acc-opener-to-georgia-tech-82-67/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishrush Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 They looked better last night. I hope the more they play together, the more they will gel - there is definitely a lot of talent on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown_9999 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I have not watched any games. How is Ivey as a coach? Is part of the team's struggles due to her learning to be a head coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Fence Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I think they started out the year with 4-5 key players out either due to injury or Covid. That being on top of a relatively thin roster number-wise. I believe for the VT game we got Brunelle back, who will likely be our best player, but she is working her way back to game shape. Haven't followed them too closely but that's the impression I got so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ND_JACK Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 I have not watched any games. How is Ivey as a coach? Is part of the team's struggles due to her learning to be a head coach? I haven’t been able to really watch any of the games myself. But below is a decent article. Sounds like they have talent and are just going through the growing pains. https://slapthesign.com/2020/12/18/notre-dame-womens-basketball-win-niele-ivey/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankus Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Just watched the first game live. Clemson. Wow. Besides Walker, they look slow, unathletic and out of shape. No ball movement on offense. Slow to the ball on defense. Not one dominating rebounder. They don’t look well coached or talented. Brunelle is fat. I don’t care if she was injured. There’s no way a nutrition program should have let that happen. It’s going to be a very long rebuild. They have nobody like Diggins, Lloyd or Arike. They are going to have to hope Ivey can be a top recruiter, in the sense of getting Freshman that are stars right out of the gate.

BrianKellyWasNotTheMan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Thankfully 2 studs are coming in. Though, that’s it! Both aren’t big time down low players. This team is weak, other than Vaughn and Westbeld there’s no rebounding. There’s plenty of top high school talent on this team, but I’m not sure we’re seeing their potential.

ND_JACK Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Looks like they still play BC tomorrow night 1/7 at 8:00 on ACCN But there next two games against Syracuse on 1/10 and Pitt on 1/14 have been postponed because of Covid issues (not NDs) So their next scheduled game would be 1/17 against BC again. https://und.com/acc-womens-basketball-announces-schedule-changes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND_JACK Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Yes ND lost to BC 64 - 61. With 5:30 left ND was up by 14 pts then fell apart. I hope Brey isn’t giving Ivey any coaching tips. https://www.bcinterruption.com/2021/1/7/22219969/boston-college-womens-basketball-completes-the-comeback-defeats-notre-dame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
