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

[nwhoopfan]

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.

I can only assume you didn't watch Kelsey Plum at all last year. She went off like this more often than not.

The Durr-Ogunbowale matchup didn't exactly materialize tonight.

First Tara, now maybe Muffet is looking at a long season. Thank goodness Holly has turned things around

Plum had some big games, but not many where she was 8-10 from the arc. 34 points on 17 shots is impressive.

 

[UConnNick]

Rarely have I enjoyed watching a CBB game more thoroughly than this epic beatdown of the floundering Irish!

 

[ASweet3781]

I know ND has had some injuries but geez.

I'm not counting the Irish out, but if this is the first demonstration of the impact of the limited roster, yeah, they could lose more this season than they have in any of the past 8 or 9 years.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Sorta surprising. Keeps life interesting.

 

[Carnac]

Walz 1-12 lifetime verse McGraw

Make that 2-12

 

[BigBird]

Look at the strength of schedule column, my friend.

Yes, yes. I noticed it. And the RPI difference was? Sorry to be a pest. I’m drinking Pepsi and enjoying the game immensely.

Though I do wonder what it cost Louisville to assemble such a team.

 

[Carnac]

My Louisville prediction is looking pretty good right now

 

[BigBird]

I can only assume you didn't watch Kelsey Plum at all last year. She went off like this more often than not.

Correct. I did not see Plum very much at all.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Plum had some big games, but not many where she was 8-10 from the arc. 34 points on 17 shots is impressive.

7-8 behind the arc against Stanford, 44 points, I think 27 shots overall. 57 points against Utah on 28 shots. Scored 40+ about half a dozen times, must've scored 30+ 20 games or more.

 

[CTGirl15]

This Louisville team is a lot of fun to watch; lots of chemistry together and they play hard. That 2/12 game is looking very interesting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Correct. I did not see Plum very much at all.

That's too bad. You missed a number of amazing performances.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I'd say Kelsey Mitchell has had a number of similar offensive explosions also.

 

[MSGRET]

Yes, yes. I noticed it. And the RPI difference was? Sorry to be a pest. I’m drinking Pepsi and enjoying the game immensely.

Though I do wonder what it cost Louisville to assemble such a team.

It's not the men's team, so it didn't cost TOO much.

 

[Centerstream]

I hope that ND doesn't make the score respectable against the Card's bench.

 

[Orangutan]

Yes, yes. I noticed it. And the RPI difference was? Sorry to be a pest. I’m drinking Pepsi and enjoying the game immensely.

I thought we were talking about strength of schedule not RPI. *shrug*

However Walz got Durr to sign on the dotted line, it was a huge moment for his career and for Louisville's program. She's one of those players that changes a program.

 

[MSGRET]

That's too bad. You missed a number of amazing performances.

Wasn't her high score game last year 58 points?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wasn't her high score game last year 56 points?

57. That's the game when she broke the career scoring record. I was at the game. That was a good time.

 

[BigBird]

I thought we were talking about strength of schedule not RPI.

Yeah, OK. Fair enough.

 

[bags27]

This is one of those times when the score is really deceiving: it was actually much worse than the 33 point difference....

 

[SVCBeercats]

I suspect Geno is loving the ND vs Louisville game. "So you beat ND by 9 points and Louisville beats ND by 33. Now will you listen to me." Expletives deleted.

Louisville will test UCONN's mettle. As Bags asked, will they be tough enough?

 

[Centerstream]

This is one of those times when the score is really deceiving: it was actually much worse than the 33 point difference....

It seemed more like a 60 point difference
