Kara Wolters just said ND leads 19-14 on the boards - I hope the 16-14 in the halftime box above is right.
 
That thread the needle bounce pass by Dolson got me out of my chair--she's really showing her stuff!
 
55% vs 42% shooting
including 2-5 vs 2-7 from 3

but rebounding hurting:
@ND's basket, we only have 10-7 edge
@CT's basket, they have a 9-4 edge

dont see TO stats

I think ND looks really really tired. Hopefully we can just keep running them to death.

I wonder if that's wishful thinking. Remember that these are two really good, conditioned teams.
 
The biggest "OY" stat is that both our bigs have two fouls. I am worried that the altitude will give Stef problems in the second half and lead to dumb fouls.

Tiff playing an all around game, but the wide open 3 point miss in transition and the missed layup hurt. The 3 point shot would have been a 9 point lead, and IMHO ND would called a Time Out. It could have been a dagger.

Diggins does not respond well if things aren't going her way. Her teammates don't seem to try to pump her up, either. I love UConn's team dynamic, it is so rare to see.

I dunno, there was that stretch where she took over hitting 2 straight shots, giving her team a big lift.

Anyone think Geno will consider putting Heather in? (Obviously offense is an issue - but she cold use up some fouls for their guys and grab a lot of rebounds).

Last time we were only up 1.

but what kind of shooting % did we have in the 1st half of that game? Not sure we had the same level of efficiency. Point being that at 55% to 42% FG, we should be leading by 6-8 pts at least.

Often, the in-game ESPN box score only includes rebounds attributed to a person and not "team" rebounds, so Kara could be right.
 
According to the box score, Notre Dame only played 6 players. Hope that hurts them in the second half.
 
The altitude seems to be a factor to me. If you look at the last few games between these 2 teams this one almost seems to be happening in slow motion by comparison.
Something just seems "off" to me. Glad we're ahead.
 
Heather could maybe come in and play some D...she is in GREAT shape!

I think if Kiah picks up her 3rd any time soon, it's possible we could see HB sub in for a few minutes when Stef needs a blow, and we go zone

Yep. My mom just came in the room and said they looked like they were playing underwater.
 
It is the national semi-finals. Neither team wants to lose. It is not supposed to be easy at this point, especially playing the same team for the fourth time this year.

The team just has to keep breathing, not try to do more than they are asked or capable of doing, and take it one play at a time.

For us fans....just keep breathing!
 
Did Hartley play the entire 1st half?

Also: need more from KML. She was too quiet.

I think there was/is an 'excitement factor' that hyped up some players, maybe Stef more than some others. Getting that jazzed up can sap energy.

She is getting pushed and held by NN and Mallory - a FF baptism by fire for KML
 
RE: Doris B...........not only has she fallen down and can't shut up, but her bias favoring ND is sooooo apparent! Gawd, I hope we thrash them in the 2nd half!!!
