Notre Dame-Baylor [game thread]

[HoopsFan21]

Loyd's going to be a pretty awesome player by the time she's a senior.

 

[Vowelguy]

Same here. (But I bet I know who the ESPN brass is rooting for.)

Gee the possibility of a matchup of unbeatens between the best rivals in the game? OF COURSE ESPN wants ND to win. And UConn too.

I guarantee you Rebecca, Kara, Kevin, Doris, Antonelli, etc want that game too.

Simms just mouthed shes tierd, not a good sign for Baylor

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Why do the Baylor kids look tired already?

ND finding their rhythm. Davis on the bench hurts Baylor.

Loyd's got good basketball instincts.

 

[sarals24]

I think Loyd is better than Diggins. If not now she will be by the end of her career.

 

[UConnCat]

Another missed layup by Baylor.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Baylor better watch out , they're going to get "Out-flopped"

 

[mrmojack]

Baylor must have missed 10 layups already. Unbelievable

 

[Lion1]

I don't like how many fouls are being called on both teams. And yet they're calling them inconsistently. I agree with DavidK about Baylor getting hacked inside and not getting the calls. Oh, wait. I forgot. They're playing ND. ND doesn't foul.

 

[Vowelguy]

Loyd's going to be a pretty awesome player by the time she's a senior.

She's pretty darn good already.

Will Baylor keep it close with 2 starters on the bench in Foul Trouble. Expect ND to get out to a 10+ point lead ND already in the 1+1 on Free Throws. ND only 3 Personal Fouls

 

[HuskyJohn]

Achonwa and Lloyd have 20 of the 24 points.

 

[j66kicker]

Baylor's ability to get inside is impressive, but the missed -up to 3rd chance -layups are a mystery.

Posts haven't had any real-game practice all year since Odyssey takes all the shots. When somebody good like ND can limit Odyssey's touches, the other players don't know what to do.

Yeah, I do too. Assuming that game materializes, it'll be the biggest thing in WCBB in, like, ever.

 

[Vowelguy]

Baylor down to 2 timeouts. Deadly. Should take the turnover. Not smart.

 

[NutmegDog]

Baylor down to two timeouts, and a long way to go.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Ochonwa gets so many calls.

 

[DavidK]

Thank god these refs aren't doing our games, so inconstant and terriable

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Norte Dame's acting coach must be well paid! These acting jobs are brilliant!

 

[Sonny44]

Apparently Mulky got a new tailor. I miss the leopard spots.

Is it just me or has she aged. She looks old or stressed out or is her make-up breaking up?

 

[UConnCat]

Maj Forsberg made that call on Robertson. As Jim Fuller once tweeted, "Maj Forsberg has no business officiating a game like this."

 

[NutmegDog]

The great scandal of WCBB -- "quality" of officiating.

 

[DavidK]

Norte Dame's acting coach must be well paid! These acting jobs are brilliant!

And the Oscar goes to.......

 

[sarals24]

Normally I don't agree with....well, anything Mulkey says, but I think she has a case with the way his game is being called.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Foul calls seem inconsistent and some are pretty bad - Robertson did not foul and in general they are not being allowed to play.

 

[GG]

Is Baylor could hit some of those chippies, they would really be in this game.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Normally I don't agree with....well, anything Mulkey says, but I think she has a case with the way his game is being called.

It is very bad. Ochonwa makes her body react with spasms to the slightest touch (Or breeze).

 

[ThisJustIn]

The great scandal of BB -- "quality" of officiating.

 

[huskies29]

Difference in the game is ochonwa and loyd. Allowing a regional final to be played at home is a travesty

 

[Wbbfan1]

ND playing at home is a huge advantage, now getting calls from the Refs. Impossible odds for Baylor.
