ND @ LV? NS!

I really wish we'd curb the ridiculous overuse of two-letter abbreviations. When I see the digraph LV, I think 'Lady Vols.'

i'm with y ou. i thought it was a replay of the smackdown. i assume it was supposed to be "L'ville"...

Already just a couple of minutes in Louisville looks nothing like the physical aggressive bunch we played.

Geez, give it rest already. Just trying to help. I'll shut up now.

Notre Dame looks nervous to me. Wonder how they'll come out in the second half.

Nervous and very beatable. Their half court offense is really bogged down, keep them out of transition scoring and their scoring comes down dramatically.

Diggins is playing lights out defense on Shoni, no easy looks.

 

[Blueballer]

Nice to see Novasel getting called for some charges. What do you suppose will happen when we play them?

 

[speedoo]

Could it be that the officials have finally wised up to Novasel? She has 4 fouls.

 

[Blueballer]

Shoni is her own worst enemy. Trying to do too much as usual.

I edited the title pap. Hopefully that will get the posts back on track.

Maybe defenders are wising up and realizing that she's going to take the ball to the basket and try to draw contact and a foul. Beat her to the spot and draw the charge.

 

[speedoo]

McBride has hit a lot of big shots in this game, making up for the lack of scoring from Novasel.

 

[speedoo]

Bria Smith could be a really good player if she had a jump shot. She does a lot of things well but without a jumper her offense is really hurting.

McBride has hit a lot of big shots in this game, making up for the lack of scoring from Novasel.

I like McBride. She's another big guard who can handle the ball, score off the dribble and hit perimeter shots. She's making up for Novosel's drop-off at the end of the season and is another one of those tough match-ups for defenses.

Maybe it has been noted to the officials by Barb Jacobs as an issue since Geno noted it publicly.

 

[msf22b]

As noted earlier (way) Novasel is in a slump of her own and its been going on for some time.
Notre Dame won today on Diggen's D. She is a tough cookie.

 

[Bestiarius]

A good game. The women's game just keeps getting better. Diggins deserves her AA reputation. The "headband communication" vehicle is innovative on her part. I understand that next year the headband will be electrified and will contain a news crawler, so we'll be able to know what she's thinking at any moment.

 

[rjp172]

Maybe it has been noted to the officials by Barb Jacobs as an issue since Geno noted it publicly.

She isn't raking up fouls on offense. She has had some no-calls when she creates contact though. Teams are taking legitimate charges against her. That wasn't the case in UConn vs ND part 1.

sorry - didn't mean for my post to sound critical. i shoulda added a smiley or something!
