ND Iowa ESPN 2 tonight

[Reypl21]

Did Mabrey just say no to an Iowa player trying to help her up

She did. I remember ND played Duke a few years back and Jewell got knocked down by a player. That player reached her hands out and Jewell scooted around and got up herself.

Don't expect UConn or ND players to help each other up on Sunday on a fast break foul

 

[nwhoopfan]

21 point lead, game over. I think Gustafson got fouled again, no whistle. Now an 11-1 foul difference and not surprisingly 11-0 FTA disparity. ND doesn't need help from the refs but they get it anyway.

 

[Alydar]

Wow, Turner can't catch a break. Is her right shoulder the one she had operated on?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Now up 26. I might be done. They are good, but I just don't like ND.

That was the Freshman Gilbert. She had a shoulder injury during the preseason

 

[Orangutan]

I fear that's a season-ender for Gilbert. The braced shoulder came out. Probably time for surgery.

Hope I'm wrong but it looked bad.

Really? Couldn't tell.

I'm not alone in that regard.

 

[Jmsdawg]

Watching game, ND really good. Will be tough to beat!

 

[bbballfan23]

More I watch this game the less I’m impressed with Gustafson’s moves. She does the same thing every time she catches. ND starting to figure that out.

That being said, she has zero help.

 

[Irishfan]

Watching game, ND really good. Will be tough to beat!

Especially since they will call no fouls against ND.

ND looks good but beatable. Iowa highly overrated. Have one player and same team that lost in the first round of the NCAAs last seasons.

 

[bballnut90]

This is a beatdown. ND looks fantastic..79 points through 3, 34 points in the 3rd. Ogunbowale looks a little trigger happy but she's scoring at will so cant criticize her or ND for that. Sunday should be great.

 

[MikeBlue]

I've said it time and time again... With THIS Notre Dame team it's all about THE 3RD QUARTER! Remember this moving forward. To Huskies!

 

[Carnac]

Stick a fork in Iowa, they're done. ND is running layup lines on them now, and Iowa can't stop it. Game over.

 

[JordyG]

ND was a buzzsaw tonight. Gustafsson is a baller and will, in my opinion be a nice pro. But she ain't nice enough to combat all of ND's starters in double figures. ND's ball movement tonight was special, and Arike had her hoop eyes tonight.

 

[Jmsdawg]

Especially since they will call no fouls against ND.

Yes, I will always remember the foul against William that was obvious but not called.

 

[JordyG]

By the way Shepard, as I predicted in her freshman year, had to really changed her body in order to be high level WCBB ready. Nice team Muffet has.

 

[Orangutan]

Gustafson is really going to play to the bitter end against ND's walk-ons, huh?

EDIT - Bluder pulled her as soon as she got the double-double. A bit shameless, but I guess they want to pad her awards resume.

 

[bantamlaker]

People sometimes criticize Geno for leaving stars in the game in a romp. How about leaving Arike in with a 35 point lead and under 5 minutes to go.

Nixon and Gilbert are injured. ND only has 1 scholarship guard on the bench.

Seriously? This is what you complain about? The MOV not large enough for you? I think the walk-ons will be okay and no one else will give another thought to this.

 

[Hayven]

Muffet once again not remembering an opposing player’s name

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, I took a break from posting for a while. Thoroughly dominating performance for the Irish. Ogunbowale w/ 30, all 5 starters in double figures. Forced TOs, grabbed O boards, hitting their 3's. The 34 point margin isn't even indicative of how much of a beat down this was. Could've been 50. Deep bench got a lot of run in Q4 and didn't produce much. Sunday's game will be interesting.

 

[Rixxx]

I thought Jackie Young would be more of a factor. She really wasn't needed as ND played a great team game and AO was hitting her shots, more than missing. Iowa's triangle and two was ineffective as AO continued to score. ND had some breakdowns on drives in the paint that CW should be able to take advantage of. It will be a struggle on the boards.
