ND-MD Game thread

[sarals24]

Very interested to see how ND responds without Achonwa...ND has better guards, so that may be the difference.

Go MD!! Let's hope all players get out of both games without needing a HurryCane! Now I long for the Audi ad. I do not like being part of that demographic.

Should be a nailbitter, whoever is tougher will win

 

[sarals24]

Hahahah they just said "The Mighty Tennessee". Yikes.

Also, what's the over under on "number of times we hear the annoying term 'Jewelly-Oop'"? 5? 10?

 

[Samanthabrown3]

I'm curious to see how Jewell Loyd will play. I expect her to be the star of the game for ND.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Wonder how many Jewelly-oops tonight

I don't expect a nailbiter in the second half. I think it will be clear after the first four minutes of the second.

I like the way this arena looks on TV. Looks to be filled. Nice atmosphere.

Is it officially sold out?

Seems when they go to new cities like Denver there is a fresh exciting energy from the locals.

If we were doing a Final Four bingo, you could check off "Brenea Frese allows cameras in locker room".

 

[UConnCat]

well, didn't take long for the cameras to find Diggins.

Wonder how Geno's pre-game speeches differ from these other coaches. Some of them just sound cheesy.

 

[ASweet3781]

Brenda pre game pep talk!

 

[sarals24]

Godawful layups right off the bat.

 

[DavidK]

4-2 ND early

 

[sarals24]

Reimer is not very good. Stef would eat her alive.

 

[semper]

6 all

 

[DavidK]

Md eating the Irish up on the inside, tied 6-6

 

[semper]

Some flopping happening. Why can't they see through it?

 

[sarals24]

Maryland going inside early and often.

 

[UConnCat]

Reimer out; Wright in.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Reimer is not very good. Stef would will eat her alive.

I know. I was wondering the same thing. Sometimes those speeches do not work. Players should be motivated enough but you never know.

 

[DavidK]

Big 3's for Md

You know they can't let cameras into Geno's locker room or mike him during the game.
