March 18 games thread

So when is this year going to happen?

Here is some good insight from Dean.

 

[Centerstream]

Shephard a very good offensive player but can be abused on defense. Slow feet. Don't remember that against UConn.

Appears that Nova is height challenged and once ND gets the ball down low, they're most likely going to score.

 

[toadfoot]

TN, Depaul, and Maryland lose in WCBB. Michigan State already lost..... with UNC.Cheat down 14 at the half to TAMU..... if the Aggies can pull it out..... it will be one of the greatest days in the history of College Basketball.

Still haven’t explained why rooting for Georgia over Duke!

 

[wbball novice]

Notre Dame's 3 pt defense doesn't seem too bad to me so far; Nova is going inside a lot. Does Nova always have difficulty with layups?

 

[Centerstream]

Shepard just elbows her defender in the head, Nova player gets called for her 2nd foul.

 

[Sifaka]

I had a writing assignment deadline; guess I missed a bit. Hope someone has posted Holly's presser. Recorded the Carter heroics. Now we enjoy Harry vexing Notre Dame or v-a-v!! Our patience is being rewarded. Fun NCAAs so far.

Holly's post-game: She gets going at about 5:50. Poor sound quality. Hard to watch. She's feeling pretty beat up. Gets emotional the last minute.

LOL I forgot what a royal pain the butt playing Nova was!

If they would stop making 2/3 of their 3s, I would greatly appreciate it.

Ha that was a funny close-up of Muffet screaming her head off. Someone should screenshot that.

Thanks. Dean's solutions for improvement...

Offense
Be more demonstrative in getting to the hoop
Better offensive rebounding

Defense
Effort & toughness

So basically his approach to improving next year is, "play harder." In that special place you guys are trying to get back to everybody plays hard. Good luck.

Shepard elbows or shoves someone nearly every trip down the floor.

WHo are these two announcers for the ND games?

 

[triaddukefan]

Ha I'm just taking a wild guess. If I'm wrong I trust that @triaddukefan will correct me

You are correct ......... people will remember that victory... but will forget that we were playing without 3 PG's.... two of which were 1st round WNBA picks

Still haven’t explained why rooting for Georgia over Duke!

I was being facetious... i probably should have thrown in a face. I have never and will never root against any of the teams I love.

What's his coaching assignment?

Brooke Weisbrod is the color analyst. She's outstanding.

 

[Vowelguy]

Be more demonstrative in getting to the hoop

Next season all Tenn players will scream "I'M HEADING TOWARDS THE HOOP!"

 

[DefenseBB]

Here is some good insight from Dean.

Why are you posting an Assistant Coach’s interview vs. Holly’s?

Ah! I thought maybe it had something to do with Joanne P.

 

[Vowelguy]

Villanova is not gonna hit 10/15 from 3 in the 2nd half

Brooke Weisbrod is the woman. I believe the man's name is Roy Philpott.

 

[Blueballer]

Well I didn't expect this! Tied at the half.

 

[Centerstream]

Tied at 45 at the half .

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Not a good omen to be 10-15 from three in a half and still only tied.

 

[DefenseBB]

I am sort of shocked ND isn’t doing a better job on the perimeter. ND seems to play down to their competition. I suspect that ND will pull away in the second half as the Nova shots cannot keep falling at their current rate...law of averages!
