33 seconds into the game Ochonwa does a flop.

[Olde Coach]

And draws a foul on Elizabeth Williams. Williams didn't foul her.

The whole play looked staged and pre-planned. Goal is to get Williams in foul trouble.

I hate this cr_p from Notre Dame.

 

[Coler]

Go Duke.

Looks like Diggins has two early fouls.

 

[ASweet3781]

There was some contact but that's a pretty big foul to call 30 secs in against a crucial player for Duke.

Pretty much anytime an ND player goes to the basket and there's any sort of contact it gets called.

 

[magic]

Duke needs to slow the tempo and pound the ball down into the paint.

 

[hoopsdiva]

Go Duke!

This will be the last game of the season that I type those words.

 

[jplotinus]

Good scouting opportunity here. FOr example, ND is quicker than Duke early on :-(

 

[ASweet3781]

Williams not good so far early. Very non chalant attitude. She's no KML.

 

[ASweet3781]

Diggins on the bench with 2 and Williams has to go to the bench because she's not into this game mentally. That would be the time to take advantage Liz.

 

[alexrgct]

Duke being Duke. I realize ND plays good D, but Duke's O continues to underwhelm.

Skylar being on the bench has kept Duke close, however.

 

[UConnChapette]

How did sd get two fouls? I came in late. She never slaps at the ball, or hacks opposing players on the arms as they drive past her. And lord knows she never charges herself and always takes the charge. I simply can't imagine how sd could possibly have two fouls already?

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Gee. . . Not a lot of interest in this thread, is there?

Duke seems to be holding its own so far. Diggins with two fouls, ND with turnovers.

 

[UConnChapette]

Duke not taking advantage of the princess being on the bench. If they want a chance to win, now is the time to capitalize and take advantage of the opportunities given them.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

ND shooting 38%; Duke 33%. McBride missing shots!

 

[alexrgct]

The way Achonwa runs annoys the ever loving crap out if me for some reason.

Why doesn't McBride shoot like this against Uconn?

Maybe espn has pre-ordained that it wants a UConn-Tennesee championship, and it wants it at all costs?

Let's get that conspiracy theory going.

I hate this cr_p from Notre Dame.

And at 17:42 Peters draws a foul which wasn't a foul. The refs are calling this game like it's a Sunday School Dance Class for 10 year olds -- with no male bodies touching female bodies.

Are all the Refs Catholics?

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Duke with a 5-point lead!

Cheer up, pessimists. It's early yet.

 

[UConnChapette]

Works for me. Any way nd loses, is okay with me.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Hey, Magic, the thread is elsewhere, about a foul on Ochonwa (?).

 

[sarals24]

ME TOO!!! She sticks her butt out. I JUST said that to my fiance, cross my heart.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

McBride shooting 2-10, Skylar 1-3. Nerves?

 

[alexrgct]

ME TOO!!! She sticks her butt out. I JUST said that to my fiance, cross my heart.

Hey, congrats on the engagement!

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Did he really just say ND hasn't had a field goal in five minutes???

 

[UConnChapette]

Was that another flop by ND? Refs didn't bite. I like this crew!

 

[FairView]

A recent engagement? Good for you --- congrats. A good marriage is the best state of being you will ever find. I wish all the best.
