#1 in the polls? No.to NC State.
Buzzer 3 at the end of regulation tied it for ND.
Wil they stay at #1?
Ah, they got some of their own medicine!
Isn't that for the Moderators to decide?Is this something that the UConn Boneyard needs to be writing about? ND has their own thousands of fans and followers and doesn't need more from the Boneyard. It should be put on the General board.
Hidalgo fouled out on a bad call but got away with a couple. Timing stinks for ND, though
ND is a rival and the #1 team.Is this something that the UConn Boneyard needs to be writing about? ND has their own thousands of fans and followers and doesn't need more from the Boneyard. It should be put on the General board.
Has a big impact on UConn seeding. Not about fanning for ND.Is this something that the UConn Boneyard needs to be writing about? ND has their own thousands of fans and followers and doesn't need more from the Boneyard. It should be put on the General board.
I agree. That last call seemed like a mistake. The replay showed it to be a held ball, not a foul. I don't think it would have mattered much at that point though. NC State had owned the 2nd OT up to that point.Hidalgo fouled out on a bad call but got away with a couple. Timing stinks for ND, though
I thought the same thing, Rebecca was also an advocate to foul. Luckily the Wolf Pack overcame that and won going away.Curious why Wes Moore didn't tell players to foul at end of regulation. They had 2 to give with 5 secs left with a 3 point lead. Whittle down the clock and let ND have a true heave at the buzzer.
Pretty aggressive reach in, with some contact, before getting the tie-up but the ref that called it was adamant is telling the other refs that she had the foul, but I the other 2 refs deferred to her, rather than necessarily agreed. It's hard not to like / respect Hidalgo, however, she plays with joy and passion, and accepts her fate without a lot of fanfare. Still think ND has the best overall roster (closely followed by Uconn) among the 8 teams in the hunt for NattiI agree. That last call seemed like a mistake.

But maybe we got better from that loss, I see us as the top 2 seeded team. Is there really a difference in being the top 2nd seed vs the 4th 1 seed, you would be playing each other in the elite 8 no matter what if that matchup happens.Only makes the Tennessee loss that much more disappointing.........UConn would likely be ranked in the top four if they had won that one.......![]()
Agree, that NCS had a very nice offense, but their help defense was not very good and their blocking out for defensive rebounds was abysmal, leading to a huge advantage on offensive rebounds for ND (Uconn will need to upgrade on that also if it runs into ND again). Citron, as always, was quietly impressive3 point field goals:
NC State 8-21
ND 7-27
NC State had several forward/guards who sliced up ND with one on one moves for lay-ups
and short pull-ups. It was an exciting game and I was more impressed with NCS than
thinking ND didn't look good. Not ND's best for sure...but their next opponent better be real
ready.
Most all true Husky fans realize what this game means for our mental health. I watched and became a temporary fan of NC. Please tell me with a straight face that the results of the game didn't put a smile on your face or in your mind.
Thumbs up N.C. you deserve it, ND oh well..........may we meet again, it would be a great game #1?
I for one am very interested in any losses of any team above us in the polls and I feel certain that many here share my interest. This applies to any team above us not just ND.Is this something that the UConn Boneyard needs to be writing about?

Respectfully disagree…there was a lot of contact and Hildalgo took a huge chance being that aggressive.Hidalgo fouled out on a bad call but got away with a couple. Timing stinks for ND, though
