It was not until this morning that I realized that ND WBB played a game in South Bend yesterday which they lost by 10 to Michigan. I assume it was on tv somewhere, while we were all watching NC St vs SC. ND has again been hit by the injury bug. Senior RS center Vaughn is out as is prized freshman Marshall. SB was back from her injury last night. She took all 6 of her shots from the arc making 2, finishing with 6 points, 2 rbs, 2 to’s while fouling out.
There was no mention of the ND game on the UConn or General Women’s Boards. How things have changed from when BY’ers rooted first for our beloved Huskies and secondly for whoever was playing ND. Perhaps it’s because the Irish are not on the schedule this season. Perhaps it’s because they are no longer ranked. Maybe it’s because MM has retired. Whatever the reason, my sense is that we are reaching the end of a traditional rivalry that used to galvanize the emotions of both UConn and ND fans.
