ND vs. Georgetown Compared To UConn vs. Georgetown

[JoePgh]

The Georgetown-at-ND game is on CBS Sports now -- the prelude to the UConn-Louisville game.

ND is facing the same paint-packing zone defense from Georgetown that UConn faced last week. That is where the comparison ends. With about 7 minutes left in the first half, ND leads 35-11. ND has already taken 19 free throws and has made 17 (as I recall, UConn took 8 free throws in the entire game last week). At the same time, ND has taken a grand total of 4 3-point shots and has made two, all by Jewel Loyd. ND has been constantly penetrating against the zone and getting fouled -- G-town has 13 fouls so far.

Evidently ND did not conclude, as UConn did, that long jump shots were the only shots available against this defense.

'cause Geno stinks as a coach.

I can't remember which team won in the UConn - Georgtown game? What was the score again?

 

[sarals24]

So ND plays a different style than UConn? That's your theory? Brilliant

 

[Forty_four]

44-29 nd at the half

 

[sarals24]

To your original point, I do wish UConn would get to the line more. ND is great at that.

I think it's a fair enough point - our teams have had a lot more players who were/are "zone busters" (good outside shooters) as opposed to zone breakers who are aggressive and really strong with the ball. ND has had multiple players who make a living at it, and its obviously their core philosophy, whatever the defense.

Bria at her best is pretty good in this respect. Tiff could certainly take you off the dribble and penetrate; but Renee is the best we've had in the last number of years at getting into the zone, IMHO, bc she had such a good balance between pull-up, drive, and dish. She could convert in all 3 ways. Been awhile since we had that at a really high level.

MoJeff may be our zone breaker of the future.....

This game will run past 9pm it appears.

Georgetown has scored more points against Notre Dame than they did against UConn.

With three minutes plus left in the game, ND has to score four more points to match UConn's total against Georgetown.

Damn free throws.......

UConn didn't score against Georgetown in the last 3.19 -- and managed to score 75 points.

Notre Dame scored 8pts in the last 3.19, and managed to score 79 points.

Georgetown scored 64 points against Notre Dame.

Georgetown scored 48 points against UConn.

28 TO's for ND vs. 19 for UConn vs. Georgetown. Evidently ND did not conclude, as UConn did, that trying to penetrate the Georgetown zone would lead to excessive turnovers.

With those 28 TOs, we may want to give Banks and MoJeff more time against ND.

The Irish shot 35-38 on FTs. Ridiculous.

Just one question... where did they play? I know where, but you obviously think there is no bias in calls vs. home or road. Especially for ND, who plays every bit as physical as GT.

Weren't the refs' uniforms green and gold ???
