It seems like Georgia Tech games are always like this.  They never play good offense but they are physical, aggressive and athletic.  Usually, like today, they make the game ugly for 2-3 quarters before ND adjusts and pulls away.

I was glad you noted the refs; I wanted to be sure I wasn't just being a homer.  Tech seemed to be employing the "they won't call a foul on every possession" and the refs were more than happy to oblige.

ND sunk to Tech's level by playing fast and sloppy.  I became very nostalgic for Lindsay Allen when watching this game.  ND needed a guard with a calm temperament to take control and slow the game down a bit.  Normally it suits ND to play fast but today the helter skelter game was exactly what Tech wanted.  Tech has no chance of out-executing Notre Dame in a half-court game.

ND had only 4 of their 19 turnovers in the 2nd half.  Once they cleaned that up, they took control.  Jackie Young had a few loose passes but other than that she was fantastic today.  22 pts, 7 reb, 7 ast, 5 steals.
