Sold that one. I hate flopping.

Hard to imagine Louisville playing any better than they did the opening 10 minutes. Can they keep up somewhere close to this level of play?

Louisville 33 ND 16 end of 1st quarter. Sometime during this game, ND will cut into this 17 point and lead and this will end up being a close ball game.

Sold that one. I hate flopping.

AO does use her arm to push off though. Something i notice. Keep an eye on it.

The defender was touched, but the way she flopped, you would think she was hit with a Taser

Sold that one. I hate flopping.

Louisville for real?? Or are they this high because of National TV audience?.

There was some contact, but the defender launched herself backward like she got shot.

A&M Leads the Lady Vols 21-20 end of 1st quarter. A&M Home game.

 

[Rocket009]

Slower start for 2nd quarter but ND not making any inroads - still down by 18

 

[Rocket009]

Mabrey is maybe loosing her cool a little - bad news for ND

 

[eebmg]

Well, ND - Louisville went of the rails quickly. The level of athleticism difference is glaring.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mabrey to the bench w/ foul trouble. Have to go to the non-existent bench. Lead down to 14. Louisville definitely not keeping up their pace from the 1st quarter.

After getting called for the offensive foul and heading to the bench, Marina says (reading her lips), "They are ****ing fouling me!" And I actually agree with her. I thought Dana Evans had her hands all over her before drawing the O-foul.

 

[MilfordHusky]

It's early, but the Cards are en fuego!

 

[jennyo70]

It’s the rotation he has in. Everyone in my section was mad he had 3 subs in to start the 2 q.

 

[Plebe]

Nell Fortner calls her "Myisha Allen-Hines" SMH

 

[MilfordHusky]

ND is shooting 50%--and trails by 16.

 

[Wbbfan1]

42 -26 5 minutes left in 2nd quarter. ND hasn't been able to cut into the Louisville lead.

 

[Rocket009]

Louisville looking good. Executing on offense really well - they may be a real contender this year if they beef up their defense a little.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Up 19 now. Hines-Allen has 17 and Durr has 15.


edited--that pair has outscored ND by themselves

 

[Wbbfan1]

A&M leads the Lady Vols 30-24 with 5 minutes left in 2nd quarter. Game is on the SEC Network. Louisville vs ND is a more entertaining game even with the bigger lead by Louisville.

There is a separate game thread covering that game

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hard to believe after the start Durr had, but Hines-Allen is actually outshining her at this point. 19 points and owning the offensive glass.

 

[Kaizen]

ESPN's video is so bad, 50% of the time not on. Sling is much better.
