Notre Dame-Baylor [game thread]

[sarals24]

My husband just asked why Notre Dame was allowed to have a home game in a regional final. This is such a travesty. And I would say that if UConn was hosting a regional also. It's completely unfair.

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

As ESPN said a few minutes ago, Stanford, ND, and Louisville all get to play regional finals on their home courts.

No way Notre Dame gets all of those inside shots against UConn. Taylor is not very disciplined.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Fouls are out of control!

I think I have a foul sitting on my couch!

 

[RadyLady]

I simply cannot watch this anymore. Baylor's flaws are so exposed. They look dejected, they are fouling, and well...I don't need to go on.

If Sims manages to will a victory out of this game, I will be very surprised.

travel. I love it, Joe.

And just think, Baylor is the one team that really challenged UConn.

Honestly, fair, shmair - I love the fact the stands are full. Looks great on TV and brings in desperately needed revenue. And what, it's a 3/4 point edge? Maybe?

Simms just went to get a bit of space and Loyd jerked her head back, you would swear she was punched in mouth........ Refs should notice who is flopping and not give them the calls

Yeah, at home.

 

[sarals24]

They did. But UConn wasn't shooting well, and Waco is a tough place to play. That said, Notre Dame scares me a bit. Loyd is really, really good.

 

[luckyhusky7]

Is McBride attending the same tanning salon as our very own Stef Dolson???

 

[sawxfan23]

Jewel Loyd is the TRUTH!!!!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

We just may see a Mulkey meltdown tonight.

 

[pap49cba]

So what's the total flop count so far????

 

[Blue Huskie]

And just think, Baylor is the one team that really challenged UConn.

But that was on THEIR home court

Don't like the 13-5 foul discrepancy. Baylor has fouled more BUT ND should not be allowed to add to it by their flopping prowess. We need Technicals in the women's game for flops.

 

[DavidK]

Baylor hits these chippys and this is a game

 

[HoopsFan21]

This ND team is gonna be a handful. Achonwa with a double-double in the first half, and Loyd with 21 points.

 

[UConnCat]

How appropriate that the half end on another missed layup by Baylor.

It is what it is.
UConn probably doesn't win the 1995 title w/o a home regional.

 

[BJLfromBK]

Announcer just mentioned Sims' positive demeanor when i saw her turn around and slowly walk toward the locker room as her teammates ran by. I cant blame her, I'd be pissed if my bigs missed such easy shots

 

[huskies29]

No way Notre Dame gets all of those inside shots against UConn. Taylor is not very disciplined.

And also no way UConn misses all of those inside shots baylor is missing.

 

[Flyegirl]

Wow. No one is going to beat ND if the game is called like this.

 

[Aluminny69]

And McBride hasn't even played yet....

 

[Vowelguy]

How appropriate that the half end on another missed layup by Baylor.

Yeah I thought the same.
No surprise that sims may have some reluctance to pass to these guys.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Wow. No one is going to beat ND if the game is called like this.

Exactly, how the refs call the game scares me MORE than the talent of Notre Dame.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Wow. No one is going to beat ND if the game is called like this.

To be fair, let's give some credit to ND. They're an awesome team. The Achonwa-McBride-Loyd combo is pretty tough.

Kim wearing a leprechaun coat doesn't help combat the Touchdown Jesus home mojo either...

 

[Vowelguy]

Wow. No one is going to beat ND if the game is called like this.

Look back at this thread -- ND was dominating the inside from the start ... Before the fouls started. The fouls are a direct result of ND controlling the middle.

 

[pap49cba]

So three teams playing at home could advance to the FF. Really? Is that what you really think is fair NCAA? What a bunch of losers. It's all about the MONEY!!!
