Monday games: ND @ NC State, Oregon @ OSU

[Plebe]

Ealey already used a RS year to injury..... not sure if she could get a 6th year or not.

According to her bio, she was a true freshman in 2015-16. Assuming she got a waiver for her freshman year (when her season ended on Nov. 20), she would now be in her 3rd year of eligibility.

Well according to the halftime panel, we don't even need to play the second game of the double header. OSU has no chance. It's almost like the 2 teams didn't just play and OSU hung tough in Eugene.

I think people underestimate the impact Leslie has had on this team, her loss with be big.

Yes...she will be missed. But what would our season have been if our expected point guard had played even one game...and if Grace Hunter had not been injured.

Regardless of what happens the rest of the season, this Notre Dame team has overall been such a disappointment in my book. Could've gone down as one of the best teams of all time. But they only show up about half the time. Clearly too mentally weak to handle the burden of being the overwhelming favorite.

I too did think they could/would be a dominating undefeated team. So regular season yes has been a disappointment.
But if they end up winning it all, it wont matter.

Cat noted that a couple of weeks ago. Don’t let them get into transition, much like UConn.

Yes, very astute on her part. Worth repeating, I'd say.

Yes but I've said this every year lately with State. Two years ago they had a very senior-dominated team led by Spencer and Wilson that nearly made the Sweet 16. I thought they'd take a big step back last year, but they actually did even better, earned a hosting spot and made the Sweet 16.

Who knows? The season is not over yet, but with only two losses at this juncture and all the players ya'll have injured I'd say the the basketball gods are smiling on Raleigh.

Back-to-back THREEs by Leslie and Cunane make it a 45-44 game.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Love how fearless State is playing

 

[nwhoopfan]

That's gotta be at least 4 possessions where NC State could've taken a lead, and it's been fruitless each time. Gotta take advantage of those.

Oh wow... well in that case. State may be good again next year......

Never in my life have I ever cheered for Notre Dame, nor will I ever. Go Wolfpack!

 

[Orangutan]

That banked 3

 

[SECbbfan24]

Turnovers are killing NC State

 

[Orangutan]

NC State back to making everything from deep.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Just like that ND up 7 again.

 

[Vowelguy]

Rutgers now down by 7 midway thru the 3rd.

WTF happened to the Steven Krajewski's? The wheels have completely come off.

RU did not score is last 1:28 of 1st half and are now scoreless midway thru 3rd.
Indi on 15-0 run

 

[nwhoopfan]

Rutgers now down by 7 midway thru the 3rd.

WTF happened to the Steven Krajewski's? The wheels have completely come off.

Are they, like Utah, trying to play their way out of the Tourney? Rutgers is probably safer than the Utes though.

 

[Plebe]

Hahahaha "TERRIBLE CALL!"

Let 'em have it, my Raleigh friend.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Went from tied to down 12 in a hurry.

 

[LETTERL]

12-0 run for Notre Dame...timeout NC State, 4:48 left 3rd quarter.

 

[SECbbfan24]

I haven't watched Rutgers very much but I did see them earlier this year.

Their defense has been good for the most part but I recall them being pretty awful offensively. Not a lot of consistent shooting at all.

 

[bbballfan23]

Zero adjustments at halftime for NC State to get back in transition. How they don’t sprint 3 back everytime a shot goes up is confusing. You’re just not going to get many 2nd chances against ND.

I see from the box score they're in significant foul trouble and Indiana is winning the game from the FT line.

Rutgers has been called for 18 PFs midway through 3Q and has 2 starters with 4 fouls each.
Indiana shooting 14-16 FTs.

 

[bbballfan23]

Not trying to be rude but why do we care about the Rutgers game again??

 

[triaddukefan]

In another Monday night game.... My Aggies beat Norfolk State to remain undefeated in MEAC play.

CViv hallmark - bad offense.

In Jan (roughly), they scored 73, 73, 74, 71, 62, 65, 76, 66 (L), 69, 69 going 9-1. (Avg = 70)
Since then 46, 48, 39. All losses.
Doubtful they'll break 50 tonight either.

 

[MSGRET]

Indiana is ahead 44 - 37 with 1:40 left in the third quarter.

 

[triaddukefan]

welp...

 

[SECbbfan24]

Hoping NC State can bring this to under 8 before the 4th quarter
