#2 Notre Dame @ #3 Louisville (poll & GAME THREAD)

[Rocket009]

Louisville also blocking a lot of shots. They are very athletic.

That's where I would put them. I mean I don't have a vote, but I could see sliding them down 4-6 slots. Maybe if Tenn wins behind them?

Tenn is making its move vs a ranked Texas A&M team.

Who is this male announcer? He’s a dope. His comment that Louisville could be considered #1 when you look at the resume of they played? Hey dopey, it’s called an RPI and they have UConn at #1 and UL at 9... Ughhh...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Looked like she tipped it in trying to get the rebound.

That happens. If they can do that 20 more times, we might have a game.

Fat Lady has been singing for a while now. Notre Dame is playing like a lower level ACC Conference team tonight. Their defense has been nonexistent tonight.

This is a freakish game, to be sure. But it's hard to ignore in how much better shape Louisville seems to be than ND. With only 7 scholarship players, ND can't afford not to be in the very best shape to run for 40 minutes. Of course, they couldn't have predicted that at the beginning of the season, and usually they are so skilled in their floor play that they compensate. Notre Dame is now very vulnerable to a fast team. So, besides shooting them out of the building, Louisville is also running them out of the building.

DURR. My goodness.

 

[Geew1992]

Of course that shot would go in to end the 3rd. Everything else is

I think this is her second encore.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I just checked the polls. It depends on what others do between now and Sunday, but I think ND will drop to #7. That will keep them at the top of the 2-loss teams and below the undefeated and 1-loss teams. I think that seems reasonable. Don't overreact to tonight's debacle. But if ND has another clunker, they may plummet.

He is from ESPN, they are in with ACC, so he has to say stuff like that.

Durr hits a quarter ending three that was amazing. She wasn’t quite squared up when she let it fly. Last WBB player I saw go off like this was named Maya.

Adam Amin: “Notre Dame has played the toughest schedule in the nation.” Really?

Yes, really

 

[MilfordHusky]

Interestingly, the thread about the "perfect game" may almost apply here.

There was a reason Asia Durr was ranked behind only Lou in her high school class.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Think about this?? Notre Dame is down 40 in the 3rd quarter. Notre Dame!! I don’t think anyone on this board would’ve thought that would be the case!

 

[easttexastrash]

Seems like a knee jerk reaction. How much weight do you give to ONE game? This ND team also had control of the game and a double digit lead heading into the 4th quarter @ UConn. Drop them out of top 10?

If they lose by 50, which they may, you keep them in the top 10? I can think of 9 teams that would play Louisville better than this.

And let me say, Asia Durr would start on any team in the nation, including UCONN. That may apply to Hines-Allen. I guess we’ll see how they perform last month.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I wasn't to see Muffet's post-game presser.

 

[Wbbfan1]

61 of Louisville 88 points have come from two players Durr and Hines-Allen. I believe UConn's defense wouldn't let both of these players go off like they have tonight. Gabby and Kia would probably limit their points.

An impressive game by Louisville.

 

[BigBird]

Yes, really

.0049 edge? Significant only if you’re drinking heavily. Oh, wait. Never mind.

 

[BigBird]

Forget playing the Alma Mater after this game. Play the 60’s hit “Wipeout.”

I'd still keep them at #7, but, as I noted in another post, I'd look for them to drop a lot if they have another clunker.

It's only 1 game. Louisville is playing their best game perhaps ever.

 

[MSGRET]

I guess Kia knows who she will be guarding come 2/12 in Storrs.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Come on Walz, time to call off the Dogs.

Look at the strength of schedule column, my friend.

No one said anything about significant. He said that ND has played the toughest schedule and they have.
