CD on Post-game

[UConnCat]

Talked about playing the players who were willing to scrap and fight and today those players were the guards. Ouch. She talked about being proud of how the guards played including in the lane against a couple of bigger players for Marquette. She talked about KML diversifying her game which makes her more difficult to guard and the rebounding of Tiff, KML and Kelly.

ND is next. Hopes it sells out and the crowd is loud. Looking forward to the challenge and said "there's no love loss between the teams." I think we get it.

Remember it was, also, against ND that CD was laid out on the floor. Not intentionally but it still sets one on edge. Plus there was the game when virtually every UConn player was scratched up. I guess I can understand the tone.

And did you hear Geno on the Geno Show say that last year there was an incident between a ND player and the UConn players off the court that has contributed to bad blood between these teams? He didn't go into any detail, but it would be very interesting to hear more about that. In my observation, the ND players are the nastiest I've seen. Last year we heard about them scratching the UConn players with their fingernails. And consider the almost permanent scowls on the faces of Skylar Diggins, Natalie Novosel, and Brittany Mallory.

I never chime in on the BY duing game threads. Takes all of my attention span to just watch and listen. Typing simultaneously is beyond my very primitive multi-tasking skills.

But I enjoy reading these threads at halftime and after the game. How else would I know that Tiffany is invisible (perhaps that comment was a little premature) or that the UConn six were tireless and relentless while the Marquette seven were exhausted. Then I thought about NFL games, where one team's defense is utterly pooped and getting massacred while the opposing team's offense is full of pep and rolling like an express train , though each has faced the other for a like amount of time.

Reading today's thread reminded me of the old Rodney Dangerfield line ("I went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out"). Today it might be that "I had hoped to read an objective and unbiased critique of the Marquette broadcasting team but darned of this wasn't occasionally interrupted by flash anouncements about baskets or fouls or rebounds."

I am intrigued by comments made by Geno (taped before today) and CD (live, after today's game) about some ill feeling towards Notre Dame, apparently occasioned by something said or done by an ND player after that semi-final NCAA game last year. Such comments, made independently of one another by Geno and CD, must have some substance. I hope it translates into a blowout on Monday. Mrs. Kibitzer and I will be there and I hope we see lots of our Boneyard friends at the traditional pre-game and halftime gatherings.

Back to you Nan, JS, Biff, Phil, et al.
