ND vs UConn (WBB) NC

[Donjuan 16]

Well, very surprised ND made it this far with this young team. Figured there'd be a learning curve involved so hats off to them!

This has got to go ND's way one year, right?

Tall order my friend...

Well, we've got our bigs playing pretty well this year which is what we were lacking last year with Achonwa out.

If the guards can come through we might have a shot.

Turner vs Stewart should be interesting.

[Donjuan 16]

The only issue I see there being is that Turner isn't quick enough to guard Stewy. I don't expect her to be out there challenging her shot--ND will have somebody else guarding her; but if Stewy drives the post, hopefully Turner can help defend without fouling. We need our guards to not be turnover machines. Also, we need the gates of hell to open up and take back Geno's soul...

You know - for how much I hate him, a lot of the stuff the broadcasters were saying that he is in favor of changing in basketball make sense to me.

Muffett vs. Geno.

Seems like those two really don't like each other. Mutual respect, mutual dislike.

Great matchup of coaches, the two most dominant in women's basketball over the last decade.

Go Irish!

Our women's team is like the Bills and Broncos. Awesomeness, but can't get past the final hump. Sucks.

[NDNorm 50]

They have to play the best defense they've played in any game this year, and they have to stay out of foul trouble...oh, and limit the careless turnovers...it's all possible, but as someone said earlier, a mighty tall order.

As much as I'd love to see ND win don't bet against Geno. U Conn just seems to have ND's number in these big games.

The Bills? How do they fit into that category. Their goal the past two decades has just been trying to get a winning record.

I'm assuming their four straight trips to the Super Bowl without a win (1990-1993) is the reference being made.

^This is very funny. I heard an interview of him today and his smugness could be smelled through the radio. Basically said they will win because "underdogs traditionally don't win against the big dog".

He's the most unjustifiably arrogant figure in sports. He called men's bball a joke, what about his game, where there's maybe 3 teams that are good consistently and everyone else is junk? There were times were Uconn could have beaten another Top 10 women's team by 40. How exactly is that tough to coach when you have such a massive disparity in talent.

4th trip in 5 years to title game

(0-4) but still impressive to say the least

it's a tall order to beat UCONN though

The best second team in the nation, the past decade.

[BrianKellyWasNotTheMan 12]

Surprised, how weak Turner is. No idea how she misses so many lay ups also. Still, think she might be another Candace Parker.

[irishrush 60]

Frustrating start. Tons of TOs and easy misses. Still in it though!

Let's go IRISH.

Uncharacteristic mistakes and easy lay ups missed, for the most part they've made their lay ups. Uconn like I thought isn't that great IMO, but Allen forgot how to play the point.

I hate to say it, but I think this is over. Down 12. Can't make a shot and stupid turnovers.

Very frustrating as we aren't playing bad D.

Hope for a miracle..

[Soko 128]

They are not going to win this. Missing way too many shots.
