44-43 MICH at the half

MICH with 12 off rebounds.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Notre Dame is getting killed on the boards. Difference in this game.

Michigan is shooting themselves in the foot with all the turnovers and poor FT shooting.

76-72 ND final. Unbelievable

 

[Orangutan]

76-72 ND final. Unbelievable

I know. I didn't think this Irish team was capable of 76 points against a ranked team!

 

[DaBball]

There were some large disparities in this games:
- FG%: 50% (ND) to 33%
- Rebounds: 53 (MI) to 24
- Fouls: 26 (ND) to 16
- Steals: 17 (ND) to 8

 

[Orangutan]

Michigan was +29 on the boards and attempted 16 more free throws and lost.

That seems like it ought to be impossible.

That’s why I said “unbelievable“.

Yeah it took me a second to get there so I went with the quip first

Destinee Walker was the difference. 9-14 (5-8 from 3).

 

[DefenseBB]

Seems the rumors of the Irish demise have been grossly exaggerated. Just like too many horror movies, you need to put the bullet between the eyes, stake through the heart or behead the beast to truly kill it and not have it come back to life! Love her or hate her, she can coach. Going to be a curious year with her and this team.

Not ranked for long. Notre Dane is now the team that makes other teams unranked.

 

[Dillon77]

Destinee Walker was the difference. 9-14 (5-8 from 3).

And while not spectacular, the 70% from the free throw line is an improvement for the Irish. In a 4-pt. win, that helps. Peoples 75% is by far her best of the season.
Sniezek: 2-2
Peoples: 3-4
Gilbert: 4-6
Walker: 4-6
Brunelle: 1-2

 

[Alydar]

I predict a sharp rise in the polls for the Irish.

 

[Alydar]

Destinee Walker was the difference. 9-14 (5-8 from 3).

The difference was Mich going 2-13 in the 4th period along with bad ft shooting. Sometimes nerves take over when leading a nemesis late in a game.

This word gets very overused in sports, but this is just choking, no two ways about it. It happened to North Carolina A&T yesterday against Miami, and it happened to Michigan today.

Michigan missed 15 free throws and committed 24 turnovers in a 4-point loss. Yikes.

Michigan wasnt ranked in MY Boneyard Poll

 

[eebmg]

So, does this move ND into the top 25 next week?

 

[Orangutan]

Better than being the team that makes opposing players win Player of the Week awards, I guess

Baby steps.

Exactly. One of several teams who were inexplicably overranked in the preseason polls. Again, they weren't anywhere close to a top 25 team last year, and they lost Thome and Munger to graduation and Church to transfer.

 

[triaddukefan]

So, does this move ND into the top 25 next week?

The Boneyard Poll... or the AP?

Is it?

Kea leads UNC past Irish to win espnW player of the week honor

Senior guard Paris Kea scored 30 points and had 10 assists to help the Tar Heels stun top-ranked Notre Dame 78-73 on Sunday.

AP. I think the BY poll is more critical.

 

[Plebe]

So, does this move ND into the top 25 next week?

Notre Dame was the top team receiving votes in the AP poll last week, and only 6 points behind #25. This will almost definitely move them into the top 25. Michigan should drop out IMO, but it might hinge on what other teams in the vicinity have done.

 

[Blue Huskie]

If MICH shoots better than the anemic 58% at the FT line, they win. 21-36 . Usually it's ND that gets all the free throws.

Well I like beating Michigan more than I liked having Clouden and Davis getting honored for beating ND.

Losing to Tennessee and having it called and upset was a real double whammy of annoyance.

I'd rather be properly seen as an underdog against ranked teams than incorrectly seen as a favorite who it is a huge accomplishment to beat.

Tennessee has had a knack lately of benefiting from other teams' overratedness. A couple years ago in early December they beat a then-#2 (but grossly overrated) Texas team in possibly the ugliest game in the history of the sport. Now they fortuitously catch Notre Dame in mid-November at its lowest point in god knows how many years.

Fortunately with the Boneyard Poll we have another week to analyze everything. That is one benefit of having the poll every two weeks.

Took till page for a comment that Notre dame had slot less ft attempts than its opponent how unusual
