Meanwhile, over on the Volnation board where our friends are trying to explain their debacle against Notre Dame, some are suggesting that after Russell took a hit to the mouth, she essentially shut down for the rest of the game after an apparently good or terrific first quarter.  That may be true - I tuned in just after Q2 started and watched the Lady Vols steadily lose the tremendous lead they had.  Except for a few spurts they generally looked lethargic, Russell in particular.

When I read the criticism about how Russell reacted to the hit, my mind immediately flashed to how our kids react to this physicality and yes, the photo of KLS with the black eye and smile popped into my head.

Side note - lost in the discussion about Notre Dame's comeback is the fact that they missed two bunnies and a third relatively easy shot in the closing minutes of Q2.  They could have easily become dispirited at that time.  Kudos to the Irish for never quitting.
