Notre Dame 2024-25 Season

[DallasDomer]

It took ND the first quarter to get rolling against Boston College at the Conte Forum but the game ended ND 89- BC 63. Several McGraws Bench folks attended the game and had difficulty and delays in getting there, so if you go allow lots of time along with new shock absorbers.

No surprise that Hidalgo led the scoring with 23. Apparently Westbeld drew the ire of the refs with 4 fouls in under 20 minutes. You'd have to watch the replay to decide for yourself. I thought the last foul was imaginary but...


I did go through and watched the four fouls they called on Westbeld at
2:52 in 2q
7:47 in 3q
6:37 in 3q
9:26 in 4q

There's nothing to do about it but the second and fourth fouls didn't happen. Somehow she and Coach Ivey need to find ways to avoid those calls or she isn't going to be in when she's needed. Very sad state of the women's refs in general.

This should be cool when it comes out.

I've been told that ND has requested an official scorer review of this game. It showed Hidalgo with 1 steal but if you watch there are at least 3 probably 5 steals by Hannah.

What is going on with the officials?

Another Notre Dame win over Louisville and another ND player elbowed in the nose on a flagrant foul. Does Walz teach how to do these things or does he recruit for players that swing elbows?

Liatu King was the victim this time, she had a double double with 16 points and 12 rebounds before the flagrant foul by Nyla Harris and you know it was bad because their home crowd didn't complain. Unfortunately I'd guess King will sit out the Stanford game and then use a face mask until the damage heals. Final was ND 89 L 71, Hidalgo had 34. Actually ND played terribly but they often do in that arena.

And we're going to gloss over Karlen's clamping that earned an upgrade? Harris is lucky her shoulder wasn't dislocated. Neither play should have happened.
