Marquette at Notre Dame

[Plebe]

Whoa. Jackie Young's would-be game-winning shot at the buzzer crawls on the rim for a full second before dropping off. No basket. Overtime.

I thought Marquette was overrated

For all the Mickey D players Notre Dame has, they're the overrated ones.

ND will probably cruise through the OT now that they dodged the regulation time bullet.

Notre Dame is just not playing well and has missed some fairly easy shots. Shepard missed a point-blank layup.

ND has been in a funk for a few games now. They didn't play well against Penn or DePaul either. Jackie Young's broken nose and Shepard tweaking her ankle in the DePaul game aren't helping matters, I'm sure.

Notre Dame has this one now, finally. And #3 Louisville has only now defeated winless Air Force by 12.

Amazing that ## 2 and 3 might have been badly upset today....

I prefer the term "work in progress" lol

Marquette has not shown good composure or decision-making in overtime. Reminiscent of how they lost the OT game vs Tennessee.

Yep, the better team either finds a way to win or the lesser team finds a way to lose. Marquette pretty much blew this one.

Shows how important Asia Durr is to them. She was out with back spasms.

They were certainly overrated when they were ranked in the teens to start the season.

Now that they're unranked, I'd say they're no longer overrated.

Despite their 4 losses, Sagarin still had them ranked #24. The algorithm KNOWS ALL

oh well

I prefer Massey, where they are #42.

 

[Orangutan]

I prefer Massey, where they are #42.

I don't know the ins and outs of the algorithms. Sagarin is a little more fluid/swingier. Massey is stickier. I prefer the layout of the Sagarin website, so it's my go-to.

 

[Plebe]

Wow. Mabrey misses two free throws. It's like Lou missing two last night.

This is how it goes for everyone else.

not just everyone else. Couple of weeks ago, UConn was down 11 in the 4th Q to some patsy.
And last night only up 7 in the mid-3rd Q.

I don't know the ins and outs either, but generally I find that Massey's rankings make more intuitive sense to me and Sagarin has some head-scratchers. Last year Sagarin had Michigan way overrated in the top 20 all season.

 

[Phil]

ND had 18 points in 5 minutes of OT after 10 points in ten minutes of 4th q

Credit to Notre Dame for fighting through this one. Ogunbowale took over at the start of overtime with a couple quick buckets and Marquette was playing catch-up the rest of the way.

It's almost unbelievable that a team with no player over 6 feet tall can be this competitive with Notre Dame without being a good 3-point shooting team. Outside of bench player Spingola (who was 4 of 6 from three), Marquette was 2 of 22 from the arc.

Westbeld deserves some credit also she played determined.

Yes, Westbeld made some clutch plays down the stretch and in overtime.

 

[HoopsFan21]

I would say no team has looked dominant in the first six weeks of the season. Every team has had lots of ugly play.

ND wasn't much better from beyond the arc. Maybe they hit several in OT but at one point late in the 4th I checked and I think they were something like 4-20 or so. Not a good shooting day for them...

This is how it goes for everyone else.

Exactly. Everyone ELSE.

Here, we fret over 20-point wins.
