Stef got too far under the bucket... ugh , then Bria gets picked

 

[VAMike23]

Great start, then a few flubs - tie ball game

 

[VAMike23]

2 on Bria

CRAP

 

[Vowelguy]

Why would you crossover in front of diggins? Begging for a steal.

 

[Vowelguy]

No offensive rebounds.

 

[VAMike23]

We'll see what Mo can do ........... fingers crossed

 

[meganmatthews]

Too much fanciness.

 

[Santini35]

Can anyone tell me if the rules for an illegal screen have changed recently? A lot of leaning into the defender by ND to rub them off the ball handler

 

[VAMike23]

There's your O-board!

 

[VAMike23]

Mo is going to really have to protect the ball (from Diggins) and be crisp with those perimeter passes


YES !! The baby hook !! Finally !!

 

[Vowelguy]

Yay stew!

 

[VAMike23]

Dang - didn't see the foul by Mo

 

[Blueballer]

And the whistles begin

 

[VAMike23]

Wow, Diggins got to the middle of the defense WAY too easy on that play. How did we lose her??

 

[Vowelguy]

17-4 run
We're in trouble.

 

[pinotbear]

yup. same ol', same ol': Notre Dame doesn't foul, and everybody, everybody, everbody else does.

 

[VAMike23]

Wow. Mo just picked up her dribble in a terrible spot.

Mo just not getting it done at the moment. Hopefully she'll get sharper as the game wears on

 

[Vowelguy]

With our size, I don't understand why we can't get in the paint.

 

[UConn990411]

Are people seriously blaming the refs right now?

UConn has a massive height advantage, and what's their offensive strategy? Jumper, jumper, jumper, jumper.

They're not an intelligent basketball team, and it shows when they play teams of equal talent.

 

[VAMike23]

ND playing with major swag the last few minutes

Just about every point for ND has been via the jumper. They're hitting them and we are not. Makes them look real smart.

 

[CONNFAN23]

Not even in the same league tonight!

There easy shots when your wide open

 

[VAMike23]

They're always able to apply a lot of pressure on the perimeter, that's partly how they prevent us dumping it inside as often as we'd like with our size advantage (when Stef and Bre are in).

Same thing the Lynx did to the Sparks last summer in the playoffs. Huge height advantage for the Sparks, but Minny pressured and extended the D

 

[WNBARookFan]

A. The crowd needs to kick it up a notch
B. UConn needs to actually look like they want this game
C. Attack the basket!
