ND vs Duke (last Mon.)

[HuskyNan]

Salvadores is like a box of chocolates... Mores sour then sweet, IMO.

Stupid Mabry foul.

Freshman from another COUNTRY adjusting. Give it time.

 

[CocoHusky]

Salvadores looks injured lower left leg heavily padded. ???

 

[HuskyNan]

Bad body language from ND, not moving feet on defense, and just not looking... right. Very uncharacteristic.

 

[BlueDevils]

Duke multiple defensive sets really confusing the young Irish

Starting guard for the Spanish U18 team. She should play under control more than she has.

Freshman that has played against other SPANIARDS 90% of the time. It's an adjustment. Give her time

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'm not impressed with ND.

2nd gm back from ankle injury. Missed 3 games I believe.

I had the same thought. A couple of very uncharacteristic possessions a couple minutes ago where they seemed almost disinterested in getting back in transition. Just not used to seeing that from Notre Dame.

Call me crazy, but Duke is playing very well. Solid coaching, too......

They saw it. Mabrey got a T and now Duke is fired up.

I thought it was double technical, one each for L. Allen and Salvadores? I thought Mabry got away with it.

I'm not sure what you mean. Spain won the u18 gold medal in international play and the bronze in u19. She was the starting guard on both teams, I believe.

I think a lot of that is Allen being out with foul trouble. Fouls are killing ND on both ends. Mabrey2 and Ogunbowale were trying to drive and draw contact and the refs were just not interested. Have to adjust to that instead of just getting stuffed over and over. And on D, leave the shot blocking to Turner because those swipes are getting called.

Best 3rd quarter I've seen in 2 years. Best coaching against an elite opponent I've seen in a VERY LONG time. Means nothing if we can't put a good 4th q together. LETS GO DUKE!

Outside of that MAJORITY of her games are against players in her region. She's not use to playing against USA players on a CONSISTENT basis. This is a process that will take longer than a year.

Okey doke. Don't particularly care. Just calling it as I see it.

You're right that's exactly what they called. Didn't even go to the monitor.

 

[Blueballer]

I can't believe this score. Duke hasn't played this well all year and ND offense is stagnant.

AND.... Is ND growing their finger nails long again? Duke's Greenwell had this 4 inch long slice on her shoulder that was bleeding like crazy.

 

[toadfoot]

For all the talk about how weak the AAC is, the overall quality of the ACC is not much better, if at all. Other than nd, all the ACC teams are 40 point losers to UCONN!

In my view the AAC is not nearly as bad as many believe. The national impression of the AAC is influenced largely by the way UConn dominates, but I think they would dominate every other conference nearly as much.

I care a lot. Obviously

She slid into a table going for a loose ball.

 

[HuskyNan]

Still anyone's game.

Now 55-54 Duke.

 

[HuskyNan]

Duke can't buy a three pointer then Cable hits one, now ND up 2.
