Congrats to ND

[CocoHusky]

They earned this one.

 

[Urshurak]

Agree. They had the grit at the end. Outscored UConn by 14. Shame. UConn had this one.

 

[osu87]

I know who I’ll be rooting for on Sunday night hoping Kim Mulkey gets her third as a coach

 

[osu87]

The one thing about this team that it had in the past it has missed that player with that killer attitude

 

[j66kicker]

I hope Baylor beats them by 40

 

[Anke]

Let them enjoy the win. ND will be hanging their heads come Monday night!

 

[Huskyfan63]

Way too many missed bunnies and turnovers.

And you know where most of the points would come from. Arike. But UConn still could not stop her. I have to be honest, our defense suffered in the 4th quarter when Olivia went to the bench. And defense is what we needed. Brianna Turner's contribution was mostly on the defensive end.

When it mattered most ND dug down deep and did what they had to. It's not so much what the coaching staff did, but what their players decided to do. Some players are just tougher than others.

 

[01Neaggrad02]

They earned this one.

I have to say the players did not play like they did in December. What I mean by that is that they actually played with respect and class (Except for the final seconds when they tried to score instead of dribble the ball out)..... I still do not respect their coach but I can give the ND players credit.

That said I am rooting for Baylor

 

[Lawrence]

It was one hell of a game. Wait til next year...

 

[MikeBlue]

Smh. Bad decision to take out Ododa, who helped you build a 9 point lead, for Walkepr who Turner abused. Can you say 2018 Azura situation all over again? Sad. Go Huskies!

 

[hoopsfan22]

I agree with congratulating the team, but what's going to happen next year?

That's it, the other teams have just been more mentally tough than Uconn.

 

[Fore!]

I'm sure it will be a bitter pill to swallow for KLS and NC, not being able to get past the semi's 3 years in a row; particularly the way in which the games were lost. They are great kids and I'd like to say they deserved better, but they didnt play well enough to win. I'll miss them. Congrat's to ND; they were tougher down the stretch when the game was on the line.

ND outplayed us in the most crucial moments. I think instead of bashing Meg being in there because she played as well as she could. We should really be looking at crystals game which was not great. She was not creating enough and not putting players in enough situations plus she shot poorly.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

Let's root for Baylor all the way! Their coach is a live wire!!

 

[Willowglen]

I hope Baylor beats them by 40

The Baylor Notre Dame game will be close. If I were Baylor, I would try and get Turber in foul trouble. Notre Dame does not play great defense, except for Turner, who really does do so (why Nelson Ododa needed to stay in the game).

They all shot poorly. It happens. Just the wrong time for all of them to do it.

 

[Engineer90]

To hell with them. Even if you feel they deserved this one, last year was stolen.

 

[NewCorn]

Notre Dame was the better team at the end. Congratulations ND. Uconn went out like warriors. This UConn team far exceeded expectations. Thanks for another fine season, ladies.

 

[Urshurak]

Let's root for Baylor all the way! Their coach is a live wire!!

I love watching Kim Mulkey. She’s a blast to watch. Go Baylor!

 

[Engineer90]

To hell with ND. Go Baylor!

I stopped reading after 1 sentence. ;^)

Crystal had 9 assists to 1 turnover while the whole team shot poorly. She must have done some creating.
