Fun game to watch. Some concern about how well DePaul shoots the 3 for our matchup. But I think our athleticism will win out.
 
4:30 left 92-88 DePaul.

Both teams are gassed. Brunelle still lights out shooting 31 pts on 13-18.

I haven't seen Depaul play yet this year; they're very fluid on offense.
 
Game is over, ND is too tired ... 105 - 94, 58 secs remaining
 
ND not getting back on defense. Last year's talented ND team played defense when it needed to. This year's ND squad lacks defensive quickness and effort.

Well, Depaul spit its wad today. Next game they will be colder on probability alone
 
DePaul by double digits.

I feel so sorry for Notre Dame.

Just squeaked into the win by 10-24 category. :)
 
105-94 DePaul 1:03 left.

Bruno's strategy seems to have worked out as N Dame is gassed and making unforced errors.
 
Probably an unpopular opinion, but DePaul looks overranked in the three games I’ve seen (Green Bay, Oregon State, and Notre Dame).

And yet how many other teams can say they've won 3 consecutive true road games against non-cupcake teams?

All due respect intended here Mr. Donald, have you seen Brunelle’s stats? They are pathetic no matter how you slice it. In fact all of ND stats are rather pathetic so sitting her to keep her confidence was not the reason.
Here are NDs stats: note Brunelle FG .383 her 3 pt .203 and her FT .697 all are BRUTAL.

I don't see what her stats being bad has to do with anything.

Actually, I think it would reinforce the point. She's already struggling. Why throw her out there in a hopeless situation against UConn?

Also, she is a perfectly reasonable 51% from 2. Obviously, the 3 point shooting hasn't shown up at all, which drags down the overall FG% badly but it hasn't been all bad from her.

Unfortunately, ND as a team has been terrible from 3. If she had teammates spacing the floor, maybe she could take the luxury of shooting 2s only.

I don't know. Just seems you went out of your way to put her down here.

Isn’t three point shooting supposed to be her forté?

Hasn't running and gunning been their strategy every game for years?

outside gunning for sure but Bruno hasn't tried to run on UConn much in the last few years. UConn has done a good job defending the arc. Not so sure that will happen this year since UConn's perimeter defense is as bad as Notre Dame's
