I'd rather ND be undefeated when we play them anyways...Jackie Young is their best player. I think it's becoming less of a debate by the day.
Interesting stats for ND
Young had 23 and Ogunbowale and Turner both had 21. Young had 14 FGA and 5 FTA, Turner had 13 and 4, Ognubowale and 22 and 10. Can you spot the low efficiency player?

You really know how to rub it in.How about 23p, 9r, 7a from Young with no TOs.
It's almost freaky how she can look ordinary against a cupcake and can play like a first team AA against ranked opponents.
Problem was she Lou was a complete liability for us with her ankle being the way it was. She couldn't have kept Geno from scoring 30 that night either.Geno had no answer for her in the FF last year.
Arike had a bad first half but played a lot better in the 2nd. Hit a key three and didn't play hero ball in the 2nd besides one ill advised three. Ended up with 21 points, 5 boards, 3 assists and 0 turnovers despite a poor shooting night. Down the stretch Notre Dame was the more unselfish team and that's why they were able to execute and win.
But Pivec was only 1-4 from the free throw line and missed a critical 3 in the 4th quarter which OSU needed to stay close.Mikayla Pivec for OSU is also a stud. 17 points on 8-14 with 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Oregon State a fairly young team. Will only lose McWilliams and Grymek. Kennedy Brown and Taylor Jones will likely have immediate impact in the post. Those two will be key.
PSA Oregon State posts are not good. I am surprised Shepard and Turner didn’t go for more. One critical player who disappeared was Corosdale. She nailed a three then blew past Shepard or Turner then disappeared.I was surprised ND didn't go inside as much in the first half, but MM doesn't like to show all her cards until the second half. This was Turner's best game of the season, and against a taller team. I hope this gets her going.
She does tend to regress to hero ball at times. In some other games she would drive and kick out. In this one she tended to look for her own shot. The team has plenty of shooters but you have to keep them engaged. If you do not hit them when they are open they tend to get out of rhythm or end up taking forced shots.Agreed. Missed too many shots and decision making was suspect at a couple of moments. This team looks good though...Rueck will have them as a major threat this year.
Like I've said before. They are more susceptible to losing than last years UConn team was & I personally don't think it's that close. They had the perfect storm to win at the buzzer. Much like MS St.It was a tie game w/ 2 minutes left. If ND is so obviously superior at every position, how was it tied so late in the game? OSU didn't finish well, other than that I'd say they showed very well.
I think the key both this year and next will be Aquino. She is an offensive threat when she is on the floor along with having the height to create problems in the middle. Next year they will be really tough. Morris came from a weak high school program and though she has potential but is not really D1 ready.Mikayla Pivec for OSU is also a stud. 17 points on 8-14 with 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Oregon State a fairly young team. Will only lose McWilliams and Grymek. Kennedy Brown and Taylor Jones will likely have immediate impact in the post. Those two will be key.
Corosdale was the victim of foul trouble. She spent time on the bench in the first half after her 2nd foul, and she picked up her 3rd and 4th fouls in rapid succession early in the 3rd quarter. That was pretty much it for her.PSA Oregon State posts are not good. I am surprised Shepard and Turner didn’t go for more. One critical player who disappeared was Corosdale. She nailed a three then blew past Shepard or Turner then disappeared.
OSU was probably feeling pretty confident after beating South Carolina. A big part of the game is played between the ears.It was a tie game w/ 2 minutes left. If ND is so obviously superior at every position, how was it tied so late in the game? OSU didn't finish well, other than that I'd say they showed very well.
She learned that move from MabreyI’ve witnessed her execute dirty plays before in other games. When a rebounder goes up high for a rebound, she’ll bend down and go into their legs and upend them. Very dangerous play. Seen her do it a couple times.
You're way too easily offended.It was a tie game w/ 2 minutes left. If ND is so obviously superior at every position, how was it tied so late in the game? OSU didn't finish well, other than that I'd say they showed very well.
I said this same thing more than a year ago October 2017I'd rather ND be undefeated when we play them anyways...Jackie Young is their best player. I think it's becoming less of a debate by the day.
Don't think a ND team based around Arike being the main cog is the best thing for ND. Would hate to see Young overlooked in favor of Arike or Mabrey because I believe she is more talented. I'm a UCONN fan not necessarily in it for what's best for ND.
