I can see the narrative now will be that UConn saw Lou injured and won the game for their fallen teammate.

77-70 :41.3 4th TO ND

ND Fouls before the inbound play. I would have fouled Megan Walker and put her on the line, not Stevens.

Well, UConn certainly has shown that grit and determination they lacked through much of this year. Lou leaves and this team comes alive. Who'd a' thunk it?

not to mention w/ Gabby riding pine

 

[oldude]

Time to win the game at the free throw line

 

[Mainiac]

Pheesa and Z took control of the paint.

 

[Carnac]

Thanks. When do you want to do the recyclables

 

[HoopsFan21]

UConn 19-2 run last 6:49

It was Collier.

And you shouldn't be able to foul off the ball before the inbounds and choose your shooter. Should be an intentional.

Anyone that thinks ND isn't the # 3 team in the country or maybe #2 should have their heads examined. This team comes to do work. And no Gabby.

 

[Roger G]

That's gotta be at least 10 missed shots in a row for the Irish. Fell apart down the stretch.

edited--commentator just said 5 in a row, seems like a lot more than that

The defense definitely picked up from UConn though.

Win one for the Gipper or Gimper!

Pray Lou is OK ..

Thanks God, she is OK..

Complete letdown by there coach McGraw. Stevens had 4 fouls for a reason and ND stopped attacking the basket and played right into UCONNs hands just jacking up shots.

Composure is normally part of their game. Personally I think they were running out of gas more than anything.
So Muffet was a genius in the first half and now she's a loser - LOL

 

[Carnac]

If UConn can't hold a seven point lead for 41 seconds they don't deserve to win

 

[oldude]

Big rebound by MW

 

[chuck.r]

for once we can say UConn's best qtr was the 4th. Most points scored and, up to this moment, holding ND to 8pts.

 

[JordyG]

Meg tips a lot of balls on rebounds. A couple every game.

 

[Los24]

I have been reading the threads all game long. I can't believe the folks that were saying a game we can't win in the 3rd quarter??? early in the 4th?

Geez it's a 40 min game and Uconn is a team capable of stopping other teams from scoring and scoring in spurts...

Duke let her go for a reason

Benched Gabby...Lose Lou...Down 12...One of the more satisfying wins in a while?

 

[Orangutan]

Reminds me a bit of the Tennessee game last year in how ND's offense stagnated and the shooters went ice cold.

Final score won't tell the story of this one.

 

[my2cents]

never a doubt

 

[Kaizen]

Megan has 5 rebs..

 

[HoopsFan21]

KLS back in for Z

 

[nwhoopfan]

Katie Lou back in?

You're welcome. Glad ND could provide some adversity to overcome

 

[oldude]

Lou back in the game on one leg?

 

[Roger G]

How about Walker with the boards?!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Z back in for KLS
