Championship Game

[Ouremblem]

Next year Muffet gets Danielle Cosgrove from Long Island, too.

How was that mugging by Mabrey on William at about the half court line not called a foul? Mabrey needed to mug to stop the MSU fast break. That’s the game right there.

 

[Padutch5]

Meh. We're going to have to agree to disagree. Not even close to a huge hip check. They make contact but only AFTER William no longer has possession. Like I said before, pains me to say it, but good no call.

Dee? Dee Kantner. Is that you?
I am embarrassed for women’s basketball.

 

[iri10]

I blacked it out from my mind.

I guess you'll have to settle for something more convoluted like "No SEC championships won against a non-SEC opponent since 2008*"

*Tennessee won in 2007 and in 2008

 

[Charliebball]

Anyone else other then me thinks ND wouldn't have won if their players didn't go down with injuries??

we'll find out next season................the pressure is on ND..........I assume they will be ranked number one..........

 

[Zanzman]

Still no SEC champion since 2007.

Lol south carolina

Anyone notice that Lawson did not seem amused by either of Arike’s buzzer beaters but was more excited by Johnson’s? She had a huge reaction last year to William’s too. Wonder if she’s not a ND fan..

 

[eebmg]

Yes! UConn's 36 -1 Beats Miss. St's 37 - 2

Yeah. We keep our #1 ranking.

 

[triaddukefan]

ND had 14 votes right before the end of the game... now they are up to 19

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Geez, people, go get a beer or something. I’ve seen some really wild statements and more than one classless one.

You're being overly sensitive, imo.

She gave her props but I was thinking the same thing!

 

[Horatio]

And do not forget the absolute chippy that McCowan missed. Miss St had their chances and choked up a furr ball.

She got fouled the layup after but .....

Wouldn't that be "classless"?
And I probably resemble that remark. Oh wait, I think my reply is obsolete now due to an edit.

 

[toadfoot]

How does Mabrey not get called for a foul? On the other hand, maybe poetic justice because McCowan should have been called in the last few seconds against Louisville (Hines-Allen) and likely it would have been an all ACC final. So... our 2018 NCAA Women's Rugby Champion is ND

 

[SCspur]

Lol south carolina

Wow this hurts. Will we still get an asterisk beside ours?

 

[the Q]

And do not forget the absolute chippy that McCowan missed. Miss St had their chances and choked up a furr ball.

And then won the game wih a great defensive play to steal the ball. Only to get tackled and give Nd the game.

The ESPN team is around the coaches and players a lot. Take that for what it is worth.

You didn’t see the deleted crap. Some people are unhinged.

Congratulations to ND. Not happy about it, but it is what it is.

I think you have to feel for Vic and his girls after Mabrey completely clobbered - I apologize for not knowing the player, as I don't watch much outside of UConn for WBB - the poor girl at around half court. But it is what it is, and I hope Vic gets his eventually. Great coach with a great team who unfortunately ran into the typical issues one encounters when playing ND.

Great job noticing William getting rammed. Sorry to say but this game stunk. Miss St uglies up these games and the refs ruin them. By the time L’ville Miss St got to the last three minutes I lost focus because the refs stunk so bad and the play stunk. Maybe the defenses were just sooo much better than the O in both Miss St games. Lost interest and I’m a L’ville fan. Play and shooting has to be better. The ND-UConn game was the only entertaining game of the three and I’m no UConn or ND fan

Jeff Walz saying that "player" is pretty good.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Christyn, Christyn, Christyn...

 

[the Q]

Why are you so angry? Seems a little disproportionate

2 straight games that were a parade of phantom calls to keep Nd from getting blown out that they eventually steal?

It’s a lot of wasted time.

If these guys are the best of the best, I’m voting for robot officials.

I know there are guys on my board who run circles around the people I just saw today and Friday night.

William did not have to have possession for a foul to be called.

 

[Charliebball]

Big shout-out to the refs for letting Mabrey tackle Morgan William! I'm not even gonna front like I didn't think that was a foul.

In real time, I honestly thought she was intentionally fouling so as to make William shoot FTs rather than get an easy layup. But swallowing the whistle and letting ND get the steal works, too!

I appreciate your honesty.................Mabry is a really smart player...............that's exactly what she was trying do...................regardless, Congrats on the victory...............I just wish it didn't happen that way........................the look of disbelief on the faces of the Mississippi State players was really hard to take...............ND will be ranked number one for the start of next season with all your players ready to roll...............let's see how you all like the pressure that UConn has had to live with for so many years.............it is a heavy weight to bear..............

 

[ASweet3781]

The ESPN crew said it was a foul on Mabrey.

 

[Zanzman]

Wow this hurts. Will we still get an asterisk beside ours?

You get white out it never happened

 

[donalddoowop]

Miss. St. lost it at the FT line, 10 for 17, while ND was 15 for 17. Plus Teira McGowan missed a LOT of bunnies, going 7 for 19. Miss. St. has no one to blame but themselves.

Yes. If MS had hit their free throws the game would not have been so close even with McCowan missing so many close in shots.

 

[AussieHusky]

She got fouled the layup after but .....

Cone on...just let it drop. ND won this fair and square, considering that humans officiate these games. McCowan parked in the lane all night and was not called for 3 sec for the most. I say the officiating evened out.

 

[triaddukefan]

@Orangutan Here ya go buddy...... gonna need some of this to dilute all the salt forthcoming

Jeff Walz saying that "player" is pretty good.

Coming out of high school I wanted L’ville to get Ogunbowale before Durr. Then, after Durr’s soph year I thought Durr. Can we trade? Nah, keep Durr
