ND vs Duke (last Mon.)

[HuskyNan]

ND looking perkier after Cable's three, ND up by 4 and Duke calls a time out.

 

[HoopsFan21]

I don't know why, but that last long pass and easy bucket reminded me of the one Achonwa got against us late in one of those games we lost.

 

[Orangutan]

That's more like it.

 

[BlueDevils]

9-0 run by Notre Dame. Notre dame quickly reminds Duke why they are considered an elite team. Duke down 4 for first time in LONG time. They need to score and get a stop.

 

[Replicant]

A 9-0 ND run and Duke throwing bricks at the rim before JPM figures out it's time to call a TO!

 

[HuskyNan]

Maddie Cable taking over with a steal, ND up 6.

 

[HoopsFan21]

There's your ball game

 

[RockyMTblue2]

When Madison (God love her) Cable looks like the fleetest athlete on the court, something is wrong.

Oh, wait, she is!

Does anyone else find themselves rooting for D...D...Dddduke? (Gag)

 

[BlueDevils]

Duke looks tired mentally n physically. Elite teams play 4 quarters for 40 minutes. Tough break.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Yeah, sorta a sympathy vote - men out of top 25 for first time in 8 years....don't want the Dookies studies to suffer out of melancholy !

Yes, but I'm probably 0-20 for all the times I've rooted for them against ND, TN, UNC, MD, et al over the years! I have zero expectations for a meaningful Duke victory...ever !

 

[HuskyNan]

ND uo 61-55 with about 1 minute left in the game.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Wait, Duke does not foul and now, with a 3, out comes the time out? Genius, prescience or stupidity?

 

[j66kicker]

Yeah, sorta a sympathy vote - men out of top 25 for first time in 8 years....don't want the Dookies studies to suffer out of melancholy !

Haha - no sympathy here, just rooting against ND. Only wish they could both lose

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Let her go the whole floor for a layup, smart, foul not!

 

[HuskyNan]

Geez, the one thing ND didn't want to do was foul

 

[HuskyNan]

Equally dumb foul by Duke.

It's a 4 point game with 27 seconds remaining.

 

[Replicant]

All ND players major in basketball, minor in theatre!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Missed foul shoots - 2 of 8 for the poor kid...disaster bowl! Man, would I love Duke to pull this out!

 

[HoopsFan21]

After watching this game and the South Carolina game yesterday, I noticed that these games go 2+ hours and ours finish in about 1:45. Seems like this 4th quarter has been going for 20 minutes.

 

[HuskyNan]

Wow, FT shooting is awful.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Coach A B C I forget... does she want to win this? Why was the 3 not attempted with 18 to go?

 

[Replicant]

Wow, FT shooting is awful.

Speaking of FT shooting...guess what team currently leads the NCAA in FT%!!!

Notre Dame 68 Duke 61. Duke is still searching for a signature win that's needed to get in the tournament. Nice win by your team orangutan
