KLS also grew up a lot tonight. She found many way to score when the game was close and clearly the defense was geared up to stop her.

+1 Of the "big 3" Lou looked the tiredest and probably had to work hardest to get open. But she hung in there. She will need to. (Of course, Pheesa didn't play the whole game.) That one drive to the left was fantastic.

The one on Gabby I thought was borderline. I'm not sure I've ever seen the one called on Saniya - I thought she got whacked with an arm coming down across her face and not so much an elbow.

Yeah, not sure about the one on Saniya, but it definitely was one when Gabby got whacked.

You don't think it should go to Chong for her steady presence?

I think you should get a game ball for all the positive energy.

I can't tell you how happy I am that I was completely wrong in my pre-game prediction! Great tough game by the Huskies!

Does any know if Azura and Batouly made it to South Bend for the game. As Gabby put it so well a game like this is when you come to UCONN.

How about two UConn players taking hard shots above the shoulder, and the officials make no call. Chong took an elbow to the chin, which is a TEXTBOOK Flagrant 1; no call. The official stops play to get her some attention, which is a nice gesture, yet she is on the other end of the court, 100% out of the play, and there is no sign of significant injury; COMPLETELY outside the scope of regulation officiating.

The Gabby takes a forearm to the throat...no review. Just a plain ol' foul.

I'd like to hear an explanation for both of those plays. Won't get one, but boy, would I like to hear one.

It does not matter what the intention of the player is - an elbow to the neck/face is supposed to be a flagrant one foul - period*. ND got away with two, one on Gabby and one on Saniya and no idea why the refs didn't at least look at the monitor. The players are supposed to be responsible for their elbows not making contact with opponents above the shoulder.

*Unless they have changed the rules again

Don't think it was an elbow per se but will have to go to the replay. Thought she got her with the forearm. Still a foul I would think but not a flagrant, if indeed the flagrant rule uses the term "elbow"

40 minutes played - Gabby Williams, Kia Nurse, Katie Lou Samuelson.

oh-uh. Geno is admitting that this team might have the intangibles. He better be careful, otherwise he might admit that this is a really, really good team. He loves everything about this team??? What's going on? what alien has taken over our Geno's body??

If you ask me, that was all about HBO.

 

[CocoHusky]

Hope Jackie Young is OK. She played a good game defensively and offensively. If healthy MM might consider starting her.

If you ask me, that was all about HBO.

As If ESPN is going to allow someone else's cameras into their broadcast.

I'm really astounded at how few threes were hit in this game.

Hit the very first one and then not a single other. At least we weren't taking a whole lot and we did get a number of the rebounds on the misses.

 

[UcMiami]

I'm trying to get a message to Holly to find this guy who who was holding this sign at the beginning of the game and ask him how he's doing now.

He had another one in reserve that said 8-1 with a frowny face!

What a great game, outstanding win and this team is going to get even better once their passing improves hopefully to the level of last years starting 5. Right now they are missing KLS on her post ups and also some kick outs where Kia could benefit.

I thought Turner was fine she actually scored easily on Napheesa but struggled against Gabby.

The refs were terrible ignoring the contact/hits on KLS through the key and yes Saniya and Gabby's fouls should have been flagrant.

 

[JavaMan]

Damn ...I hope @RSHERMVIKES made through to the 4th quarter.

Did we ever refer to Caroline as CD2?

Yes because we have CD and she owns the rights to that in perpetuity So Caroline was always CD2.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Gabby Williams...what a thrill watching her play...,

Best game I've watched in a long time...!

 

[OneTrickPony]

Big props to Notre Dame...these guys can play...!

 

[psconn]

C'mon Jackie, get up. Man, I HATE to see players hurt.

Why are there no ND players running to her side? She's down and in serious pain and no one comes to help? It was a dead ball situation, right? Gotta see a replay.

 

[hoophuskee]

I think you should get a game ball for all the positive energy.

I predicted ND would win tonight so I really was interested to read all of the posts on this thread. I started laughing at some point, and you beat me to it. I think an award should be granted to the poster TitleTown.

He is tenacious and unyielding in his never-say-a-positive-post about any UCONN player or the team and their terrific, spotless record. Only in UCONN land can a steady player be ridiculed and then he doubles-down on the ridicule.

And we have this great victory - we're up by a lot, Gabby doing some sensational things, Lou with some beauty moves and Collier's brilliance yet our man Titletown is "waiting for the next UCONN turnover."

You go Titletown.

But I have to ask. Did you really enjoy the game? And do you really like basketball?

Whatever. Every fan is different.
