great defense by Maryland they are forcing ND into shooting lay-ups, and only 2 shots per possession
 
Anybody know anything about ACLs? Is Achonwa in pain?

And can anybody talk faster than Kayla McBride??

And if Dave O'Brien doesn't stop calling the players somebody's "little girl" I'm going to scream.
 
Can someone please tell this announcer it is Achonwa, not Ochonwa? At least know enough about the players to be able to pronounce their names. He has said "O"chonwa multiple times.
 
Why do all the ND players talk so fast? Every one of them I see interviewed talks like their hair is on fire and they need to rush for water.

I wish they had been given more of a fight from MD.
 
Not at all surprised. ND is well coached, Achonwa is a key player for them but they have a system, so it's not equivalent to MD losing Thomas, for example. This ND team still scares me, especially with Loyd and McBride playing the way they are.

Maryland looks overwhelmed by the moment, looking stuck to the floor and slow which is often a sign of feeling the pressure. It's a team with a lot less talent than ND and a lot less experience winning big games and it's showing.

When you're getting killed at what is your strength and advantage -- rebounding -- it's going to be a long night.
 
this first half is ridiculous...the Irish are on their flopping dirty skills... even they are open when someone is closeby they end up on the floor... what kind of coaching is that. UCONN dont do that that tricks...just play plain basketball...just simple .

Not sure why anyone would be scared facing an undefeated team. It's not like it should be a surprise they are good and hard to beat.
 
Notre Dame winning big with points on the inside. MD leads in 3s: 2 to 1
 
One of these teams is good. The other plays no defense.

McBride is the best player on the floor.

yes, Natalie A is a vital part of Notre Dame's team

But it's not going to grind to a halt without her. The announcer said imagine if she was there how bad it would be. I think it would be very much the same actually. Maybe a few points more but when McBride is hitting like this forget it....
 
Even without Achonwa, ND-UConn is going to be a really, really good game.
 
Terps had me fooled again. I bought into their strong run in the tourney thus far and thought maybe that was the real MD. Nope, the real MD is a poorly coached choker. Doesn't look as though they even had a game plan. Muffet packs it in the lane to compensate for NA's absence, doubles AT and MD makes no adjustments, like setting better screens and taking some mid-range shots to force defenders out a bit, or driving to the hoop to initiate contact and get to the foul line. Mincy is the only Terp willing or able to shoot from the outside and she's cold.

Let's see if Frese makes any adjustments at halftime....

Yes, Maybe she'll pick a different pep talk :p

That's the only adjusting she can do.
