Muffet McGraw IS 2017-18 NCOY!!!!!! Period.

[SVCBeercats]

Only the AP was smart enough to recognize Muffet McGraw as the NCOY. She is probably the best game day coach alive today ... period. What a game plan with a bunch aggressive and intense competitors for a team. Congratulations to the best team and the best coach for 2017-18 season.

Best Team? I do not know about that. There was a foul by Mabry against the Mississippi State player... had that actually been called it would have resulted in Mississippi State winning. Instead they ignored all that contact and called McCowen... which was a foul... but after the Notre Dame foul. Once again.... The lack of foul calls against Notre Dame assisted them.

I am a UConn fan and yes McGraw is the best game day coach. ND was very depleted and took down UConn and MSS. Uconn choking 2 years in a row with stacked teams does not bode well for future recruiting . ND with a stacked team will win next year. They also just secured Bueckers, Brunelle, and Fudd

Not sure why these trolls are not on McGraws bench......they are a classless bunch

A body tackle and NO FOUL called ! Refs are BIASED BADLY ! A huge embarrassment to all decent refs !

If the so-called foul is not called it is not a foul. The best team and the best coach won ... period ... full stop.

I was making a case a few days ago that it should have been Miss st hc with that tough conference but nope, give em credit for getting it right.

Congrats you are rooting for a team that rubbed the loss in our coach and players faces the other night.

Congrats to the most CLASSLESS team in the NCAA.

Ur not a UConn fan. Actually ur not a women’s b-ball fan. Plz stop the madness and ignorance

She did a great job this year. She had my vote for COY even before tonight. However, having Shepard eligible this season was probably the greatest thing that could have happened to them. You really can't overlook this big advantage ND was handed by the NCAA back in November.

I was saying this since November and received a lot of grief! Still want to know why she was cleared? Who knows what would have happened had Te'a Cooper was elgible. Oh well Congrats to ND!!

Even with shepherd UConn had way more talent.

Similarly, Azura Stevens sure would have come in handy for us last year. Not saying we would have beat Miss St or anything, but it would have been nice to have that option.

Yes, but if the ref had called a foul on McGowan against Hines-Allen in the last seconds of regulation in the Louisville game, MS St would never have made it to the finals.

The refs giveth and the refs taketh away.

so let me get this straight................if you win one NC you're guaranteed all of the best recruits? Luckily it really doesn't work that way............if it did Geno would have 20 NCs

Perfectly clear she made a deal with the Devil.

and you think this is why UConn lost to Notre Dame?

No.

Relax. I agree that the win helps recruiting, but they have not lost all of those players as a result of an overtime win by Notre Dame.

Uconn's incoming class is great. We shall see what next year's brings.

Too bad they get a * for having Shepard get a pass no one else got.

kind of like Robin Hood........hmmmm.........didn't he wear green?

 

[mbr33ct]

Hope to the good lord I do not have to hear the most overrated phrase used all season long. "...with only 7 scholarship players..."

ND has only played 6 scholarship players, for the most part"

 

[SVCBeercats]

Is the Notre Dame asterisk like UCONN's asterisk when they won the NCAA title without having to face Baylor and Griner? Neither UCONN nor Notre Dame have an asterisk. Your words prove sportsmanship is not dead.

Muffet is absolutely the Coach of the Year. Regardless of how they squeaked out those two wins, regardless of all the other complaints folks might have about the way they play or what the refs did, no one, and I mean no one, took the quality of players she had. rolled with the punches when four of them went down for the year, and came out with a top five team by the end of the season.

 

[Bayareahusky]

I'm with the people who say "let's not get carried away".... Muffet has won 2 championships now.... and this year's was richly deserved.... my congrats to ND and the coaching staff... they beat the odds with all their players in the sick ward..... a simply incredible job.....

As I reflect, I come back to what I always have thought.... it is HARD to win it all..... that is why aside from Geno nobody has more than 2..... the late Pat S notwithstanding.... especially with the players being of the caliber they are now..... A salute to Notre Dame for great job this year, and also.... THANK U to our incredible team for their hard effort and coaching staff and their great guidance
