Lots of credit to Notre Dame, and pretty classy by Muffet not to drag out a lost game out with constant fouls and timeouts.

10 and 0 in the NC is unbelievable. Imagine if you're a gambler, and you double up on your last dollar ten times in a roll? I can't even phantom the end amount but I'm sure it would be in the million. :eek:
So, next year, if we have to face ND again in the final or even the semi-final, do ya feel lucky?

They should have kept playing. The odds of winning were slim, but crazy things have happened with a minute left. These teams all practice being down 8 or 10 with a minute left.

Nurse shooting ain't gonna cut it. ND will take that all night.

I think she played darn good tonight. Not great shooting % but nobody did tonight. She hit a few big shots at big times. Diving for balls Solid D. She's a champ in my book!

If I never see Dee Cantner I will be the happiest person in Connecticut. Amazing that we could do what Wisconsin couldn't do last night- overcome terrible officiating.

I thought the officiating was equal for both sides. Can't ask for much more than that.

Plus we had three one-and-ones coming, for a team not used to shooting pressure foul shots. Make us shoot them. Gamble on some steals - who knows. Get it to five and anything can happen - we could get the yips. We lost to Duke once in similar circumstances (more time, but larger deficit) when we got the yips and that was with Taurasi.

I was really puzzled that they stopped playing with a minute left.

No, she has played Geno teams enough to know once it passed a 2 possessions they were done. I applaud her for not dragging out the game as so many coaches do.
