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

You wouldn't think.

 

[toadfoot]

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

Maybe it’s just me, but the guy seems like a bit of a ND homer. He’s referred to ND a few times as “we”.

 

[Plebe]

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

Villanova can't do enough to defend Notre Dame, even with the walk-on on the floor. Three-point shooting is their only hope to even stay close.

 

[wbball novice]

Well, Nova's not shooting 60 3s tonight but the percentage is going to be way better. Will their 3s overcome the unguardable Young and Ogunbawale? Notre Dame seems to bring out the fire from outside shooters -- reference Louisville.

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

Coherence maybe, but boy is he running scared too.

 

[Orangutan]

I am sort of shocked ND isn’t doing a better job on the perimeter.

I'm not. 'Nova is playing 5-out on offense. Shepard and Nelson are too slow to defend on the perimeter. Muffet is so desperate for another guard that walk-on Katie Cole played 9 minutes in the 1st half.

 

[Zorro]

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.

Didn't see Hollys presser, but can tell you what she said; "I just don't know"."

 

[mbr33ct]

True. Not all players have her talent. With the off-season to work on her game. I think you will see a significant improvement in her game.

Listen, most of us are not ready to move to "next year" yet. We still have some dancing to do.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

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!

I think Muffet has adopted a strategy forced on her by a nonexistent bench. Open the game up and try to outshoot them. This short handed ND team can still put up impressive #es.

 

[Orangutan]

Notre Dame seems to bring out the fire from outside shooters -- reference Louisville.

Destiny Brooks from CSU Northridge, who was shooting sub-30% from 3 on the season, made 8 3s in ND's first round game. Some of it is bad defense, but it certainly feels like every opposing team's shooters are lights out against ND.

 

[stwainfan]

What's his coaching assignment?

He's assistant coach works with post players.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Didn't see Hollys presser, but can tell you what she said; "I just don't know"."

I can't recall if she said it; she was feeling sorry for herself and her team and she's home so they didn't pick on her much. They all know there is not much there there. She has been and will always be an inept coach; hand picked, of course. Pat's revenge is one theory.

 

[DefenseBB]

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

Mmm, maybe or maybe not. Some really bad comments like “Shepard can handle the ball like a guard, with quick feet and nimble moves” Huh? The post from Nova blew right by her from the perimeter. She also was too effusive in Muffets coaching that she deserved national coach of the year for what she’s done...huh? Even after Westbeld, Muffet still has 6 top 39 HoopGurlz players on the floor including 3 ranked in the top 11 of their class. It’s not like Miss St who has one rated 24 (Vivians) and no one else.

 

[stwainfan]

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

Holly presser already posted.

 

[DefenseBB]

Holly presser already posted.

Where is it posted and should I watch it?

The player who blew by Shepard from the perimeter was 5-6 guard Adrianna Hahn.

Weisbrod is not the only one who has commended Muffet's coaching job this year. Even many on this site have praised thusly.

 

[Orangutan]

ND has broken glass in case of emergency.

Westbeld is in the game to start the 2nd half.

 

[DefenseBB]

Westbeld!!!

 

[Centerstream]

Muffett doing a Dawn, Westbeld off the bench

 

[wbball novice]

Oh my goodness Willis Reed -- I mean Kathryn Westbeld -- has entered the game!

There are men's basketball games being played?

SO much basketball, so little time.
