Great game by ND. But UCONN lost this game, ND didn't win it. Shoulda been over in each of the OT's, but lack of mental toughness and lack of free throw shooting did us in. Oh well. ND just the better team which is shocking given the talent we have.

Between the refs and our players can't hit a FT at key moments, UCONN did not deserve this W. We should have fouled before the girl jack up the 3 at end of the regulation, but the mental break down did us in.
 
Sooooooo many missed opportunities to close this thing out in reg, 1st OT, 2nd OT. Talk about grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. Very, very disappointing. :(

Hate the loss and shouldn't have happened but I like how tough the freshman played much of the overtimes. Should have won in regulation but for Dennis DeMayo. And should have won it with FTs but the youngin's grew up a lot in the OTs. It took ND 3 to put them away.
 
We have the lead late--multiple times tonight--against these guys and don't play to 0:00.0. Damn it!
 
This all could have been over if Geno had fouled in regulation up 3. You NEVER let them take that shot. I don't know how he let that happen

Hey, Rebecca said don't foul, too.

Bad loss - I'm envisioning an all star ref lineup of Kantner, DeMayo, and Spence for our last game in the NCAA's. Then we won't have to worry about FT's ! We wont get any !

Yep. You foul them and take your chances. If I am the coach, I would do it every time. KML gave up the shot and refs helped out ND at multiple times. Talk about taking defeat from the jaw of victory.

Did they do the handshake line?

Would have never expected 3OTs
For the Stewie detractors - Do you realize how many minutes she played after Stef fouled out? She worked really hard. Just not enough strength & experience yet.
Kelly worked so hard. Feel bad for them.
 
I am proud of this team. Yes, this loss hurts. But, considering we have such a short bench, Stef fouled out before the first OT, we have three freshman who have had to play extended minutes in arguably the biggest game of the season thus far, a gimpy fifth year senior, our junior point guard is having the season from hell...the fact that they were in this game as long as they were tells me they are right there...just need to develop a little more mental toughness to hit the free throws when they matter most.

It might not be our year. I am not down on any of the players. They played their hearts out. No, they won't get a share of the BE regular season trophy. ND has earned it. Be we are very close. Very, very close.
