Mulkey and Muffet take swipes?

[pppggg]

Malkey said several times that there were no off court issues with this years team. Given BG's tell all, was that a swipe at her?

Muffet said several times the Huskies couldn't fit ND on their schedule. I thought Geno wanted to play an ND was reluctant to do it. Was that a swipe at Geno?

The series will resume next year because ND couldn't fit UConn into their schedule. There were no open spots because of their ACC schedule. Geno and UConn do not avoid any team that's willing to play them. UConn lost the first three against ND by less than they won against them in the semis.

Of course Muffet's comment was a swipe at Geno and UConn. She's been doing that since losing in the FF last year. Those who know her aren't surprised.

Who is GB?

Notre Dame had two chances to win a NC, in my opinion...in 2011 against A&M, and last year, had they gotten past UConn and faced Louisville. It must just eat at her that they can't get over the hump.

That difference in point spreads was what Geno was talking about when he said nd would not beat UCONN. nd has won games against UCONN over the past few years but they have not beaten UCONN. UCONN beat nd in the semi last year and those players who were in the game know that.

That is the difference in taking it to another level. Muffet can't do that.

I don't know....ND will be pretty good the next few years. Recruitment seems to have stepped up exponentially. Maybe they'll eek one out...but I don't think this is their year.

People forget that at least two of their losses to Notre Dame was less Notre Dame winning than uncharacteristically UConn losing. Then you must remember that McBride three point shot that clanged off the rim and bounced around and finally sank to send the game into overtime (or was it a second overtime?). That was after UConn missed a slew of foul shots (I'm sure Notre Dame played wonderful defense at the foul line) at the end of the game which gave Notre Dame the chance to tie the score. You would think that Notre Dame had buried the Huskies in those three games. I know a loss is a loss but give me a break!

Let's not forget that it was ND who left the conference, not UConn.
