This is just an exhibition game so apparently there’s no video stream. But I’m still curious to hear how it goes.

Muffet starting to think outside the box. Seriously considering relocating her program to Canada, where her team might be more competitive.

Ouch!

Seeing as how poorly ND has been doing this season, McGraw should have considered cancelling this game. If she losses this game, ND might start looking Warlick’s way.

I would start with Guam.

This is exactly what Notre Dame needs. A chance to experience success and boost confidence after a rough stretch.

I've joked about Muffet fleeing the country because, well, she's made herself an easy target with her classless ways. But actually ND's schedule will get easier, not harder, once ACC play starts, and I still believe ND will go at least 13-5. The ACC is not that great this year.

That seems awfully generous. ND is a big part of the reason the ACC is not that great.
I have them going 9-9, maybe a game or two better if Vaughn returns and is effective,

You underestimate them at your own peril.

Even the "bad" version of ND this season was good enough to beat Michigan (in Ann Arbor) and they've been very much in every single game they've lost except the UConn game. Just haven't finished games well, another symptom of youth and inexperience.

I think you also underestimate the potential impact of getting Vaughn back. Just her presence on the boards, if nothing else, will transform the complexion of their team and will free up Brunelle to move back to her natural position. If Prohaska comes back as well, even more of a boost for them.

Massey currently has ND at #49 and, despite that low rating, shows ND as favored to win all but 4 of its ACC games. (It shows them as narrowly favored at home against NC State and on the road at Syracuse and Duke.)

ND will probably finish #4..... I dont trust anyone in the ACC beyond the first 3 top teams at this point.

92-61 ND final
Looks like McGraw’s job is safe... for now.

Gilbert 25 pts (11-21)
Walker 22 pts (7-11)
Peoples 21 pts (10-14)

Guelph high scorer had 11 pts.

An inspirational win. I’m now a believer! (not really)

 

[DaBball]

Sniezek out with due to an ankle issue. Not sure if it was precautionary because it was an exhibition or what.

Here’s something I stumbled upon and wasn’t expecting. They made a postgame video for this Guelph exhibition. McGraw seemed pretty upbeat back then.

Some of the players sat in on this one.
