We looked a lot better than Connecticut is looking.

unfornately they started hitting 3s and are plus 7 now, but I agree

[Donjuan 16]

Unfortunately, ND doesn't have a 6'7" center, but yeah, I think they're beatable.

Especially if Stewart shoots some bricks like she did today. ND pulled up a bit and got to 89, I know UConn plays good defense but if they only score 70 I like our chances!

[2lakes 1]

Slow your roll, fellas.

 

Baylor will not be a stroll in the park.

 

The Lady Bears are a talented, well-coached team with an attitude. Being on ND'S home court will just be more incentive for a team that runs on controversy. They want to do to Notre Dame exactly what Louisville did to them last season.

[OklahomaIrish 0]

Baylor is very good, make no mistake. Oklahoma State played them very tough and they no longer have that 6' 8'' feller. This will be a great game to watch. Having a party at my house tomorrow night.

Wow! Baylor showing no class.

 

A couple of BS calls on McBride. Refs really influencing the game big time.

 

Sorry, being a homer.

[VCDomer 68]

Ugly game in 2nd half so far. McBride is trying too hard and couldn't hit the ocean sitting inside a boat.

[Rattlesnake 54]

Achonwa looked like an ACL.. that's huge and terrible.. kinda like that Agbuke chick.

[VCDomer 68]

Congratulations ND women. Way to fight through an ugly game. Hoping Natalie is ok.

[jfschellcrna 11]

Achonwa looked like an ACL.. that's huge and terrible.. kinda like that Agbuke chick.

didnt see the injury, hope it is just a sprain.........

[ManCrush 0]

That's what it looked like to me. Best case to me is a sprain.

[FaithInIrish Forever 4,710]

Breaker and McBride had nice second halfs,

 

Holding my breathe for Achonwa as well..

[OklahomaIrish 0]

I think I get more excited for this team than I do for our football team. If we lost Achonwa we probably lost the title.

no offense but Jewell Lloyd will have something to say about that. Achonwa is the leader though.

[2lakes 1]

Saying a prayer for Ace. Not because we need her, we do, but because she as much as anyone has earned the right to play in this Final Four. Achonwa is the quarterback and team leader. If she can't play, she will be faced with her greatest challenge getting Braker and Reimer and the rest of the team ready for the next two games.

Agreed Prayers for Ace. Every great team needs that player, in 2012 for football it was Teo, in 2013-14 for wbb its ACE :pray:

[OklahomaIrish 0]

We literally went across to the Church tonight and prayed before the Blessed Sacrament for a miraculous recovery. She had like 19 points and 15 rebounds. We can't replace that. My daughter Mariah was right in front of her when she started screaming. Said it was very scary and everyone got silent. Miracles happen. This is Our Lady's school.
