33 seconds into the game Ochonwa does a flop.

[alexrgct]

That is a great segue into a question I wanted to pose. I am curios as to why UCONN beats the common opponents of ND and Baylor so badly but they have lost to both recently? It just seems odd that they would be so much more dominant against common opponents yet struggle against those two teams.

One could argue that Baylor and ND have gotten up for Uconn more than they have other opponents.

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

Why doesn't McBride shoot like this against Uconn?

You know...I think Achonwa's shorts are shorter than everyone else's. Maybe that is why she looks funny when she runs?

Fantastic dish by Diggins. She's in her scowl mode.

 

[easttexastrash]

Sorry...I would draft Diggins over EDD. She is the best PG to come a long time in a long time, and yes, that include Sims. Just a super player. She is so smooth and makes the game slow down so that she can do what she wants.

And here comes ND. . .

You know they weren't going to go away......

 

[JellyBean]

Anybody else hate the ND uniforms? What if Nike makes us uniforms like that (only in blue!)?

Yes. Those things are hideous!!

I agree, bothe the ones on TV and these here are awful!

 

[alexrgct]

Just a horrible decision by jones there.

 

[easttexastrash]

Uh oh...that's the game. Duke cannot win without Jones.

 

[Soxx]

These announcers are so much better than last nigh's duo.

 

[easttexastrash]

Just a horrible decision by jones there.

Freshman panic move.

 

[JellyBean]

Oh boy. Duke is looking rattled. They have to regroup and get that physical mindset back like in the 1st half.

 

[Flyegirl]

No matter who ND plays or where they play, the opposing team always is in foul trouble. Ugh.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

10 fouls on Duke, 7 on ND. In the first half, ND had more than Duke.

 

[easttexastrash]

They are very good at drawing fouls. It is a skill just like many other parts of the game.

As some other coach said, not picking up fouls is a matter of being smart on the floor. They are very smart about what they can and cannot do.

Kind of expect to see the Telatubbies in those uniforms.

 

[JellyBean]

Wow. Maybe a spin move next time.

 

[UConnChapette]

Come on Duke! Regroup. Please!

 

[alexrgct]

Feels like this game is over, even though Duke is still in range.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Diggins getting hacked on the way to the basket, probably to prevent an automatic two.

 

[UConnChapette]

Oh, looked like there was a lot of contact on sd's steal there.

 

[easttexastrash]

Come on Duke! Regroup. Please!

Ain't gonna happen. JPM might as well put Jones back in because if she doesn't Duke will be down too far by the time she returns.

 

[alexrgct]

And now it's definitely over.
