Ill be honest... i wouldnt mind seeing us play this Tenn team at this level of play
 
McBride hitting shots she should miss is a recurring nightmare. I hated that last year.
 
McBride is the only reason why this game is even close. Jewel Lloyd needs to step up.
 
So if TN beats ND...... do they jump Duke and move to #2 ? :rolleyes:

I don't see Russell as the best freshman coming out of high school!

DeShields and Davis are better IMO
 
When was the last time UConn gave up 46 points in a half? Maybe it will change in the 2nd half, but ND is not forcing UT to rush or take shots they don't want to. I haven't seen ND before this year, so I don't know if that's their usual D. McNride is her usual tough self. Impressed v
 
Tenn is playing out of their minds....they will wake up. I have to admit theyre passing the ball, playing team ball, and making almost everything. a A big key will be when they stop shooting over 55% will they still have that patience. Theyre running on adrenaline right now and have a lot of confidence. Theyre driving to the basket and ND isn't because they're top 2 guards are on the bench. This is the best they've played all year and they're playing like a team. Everyone is involved not just Simmons shooting the ball. Good flow but ND is only down 5

I've seen three LV games, and this is the best they've looked. ND has clearly not played a big, strong athletic team all year.

The thing that screams out to me as I watch this game is that we are very very spoiled. These two are stale. They barely move and both rely far too much upon shooting percentages. There's no real sense that either team understands or is even seeking a controlled flow. I just don't see how this could be considered entertaining. Yuck.... click.... ah, the mating rituals of the Bolivian spotted slug...

Several nightmarish stretches for ND in that half. They're glad for that closing run to get it to 5.

Box score shows 2 personal fouls on UTenn. Eyeball test says the box score is more than a bit light.

We'll see what adjustments ND makes at half. They have some experienced players who can still get the job done, but Loyd needs to stay out of further foul trouble.

ND looks slow on the defensive side. Too many easy baskets for Tennessee.

ND offense looks disjointed. No guard leadership and no post play.

Tennesse seems to be running at will. Actually some very good guard play.

Let's see how the second half plays out. This could be another upset.
 
ND's interior defense seems much weaker than last year. I think Achonwa is a step slow since her injury earlier this year.
 
ND lack of an inside presence is pronounced. Ball movement predictable and slow. Leaving back door open. Tenn has definitely upped their game over the last several.
 
Gotta agree first time for me seeing ND and they don't look like they did last season. If this is how theyre playing this season they wont win the ACC.. Maybe a 2 seed.

yup - Notre Dame is playing down to Tennessee's level. Horrendous second half thus far IMO
 
.-.
ESPN gets a close game, at least, when people might be watching, but this is uninspiring basketball.
 
Can't believe I'm hearing the whistles blow against ND. They can't be so physical and bump, harass and bang like the used to. I hated when they played us like that and got away with it.
