Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4450319, member: 26"] Not sure what to make of ND. They and SC are close with my "dislike" meter - but FAR behind Tennessee for me. So I love seeing them lose (ND). I didn't watch the whole game so I'm not sure about the interactions between Diamond and the ND fans. It's easy for us to watch a 10 second clip and say "classless". But what did the fans say/do to her all game? I didn't see it all so I can't speak for it. Low class? Probably. Provoked? Maybe. Some ND fans wanted a T? Seriously? The game was over and unlike football, there is no penalty for "excessive celebration". Diana was famous during the Tennessee rivalry. "I just wanted to punch something orange" - she punched the stanchion after making a clutch play during the UCONN-Tenn game. And of course famously popped her UCONN jersey after we won. Classless? Opposing fans certainly thought so. Deserved? OF COURSE. I'd support Diana 100% and twice on Sunday for anything related to Tennessee. As for ND, They are very talented. Miles and Citron are really good and Mabry is... well... a Mabry. Maybe not as good as her sister in the WNBA, but really solid. Westbeld is really good, but not sure about the other post player - Watson? I thought maybe ND might be the 4th best team in the country behind SC, Stanford and UCONN, but now not so much. Maybe tOSU? Indiana? Iowa State? Va Tech? In spite of NC State getting clobbered by UCONN, they clobbered an Iowa team that gave us all we could handle. So who knows? ND will NOT want to lose 2 games in a row. They will be UP for the game vs. UCONN. Whereas they lost to a solid, but not great, Maryland team, I expect them to play much better against UCONN, much like Iowa did (as opposed to how they played vs. NC State). I think Aaliyah and Aubrey will be more than ND posts can handle. Miles vs. Nika is intriguing - hopefully Nika stays out of foul trouble. Azzi is a much better defender than I thought - so fundamentally sound, i think she guards Mabry and Lou goes on Citron. I think the guards for ND will be a lot to handle and I could see Lou getting into foul trouble. Caroline will be key IMHO. We will see Sunday for sure. [/QUOTE]
