Notre Dame-Tenn

[Samanthabrown3]

ND really is playing well. I'm looking for fouls away from the ball and haven't seen any that were uncalled.

Who are those refs? We need them. Especially that tough one who got knocked down by--McBride--stayed down in a daze for a minute, and then got right back up to call the game.

S. Diggins 20 Pts, 2 Reb, 3 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Bl

Diggins is so overrated. Clearly earning her AA chops on reputation alone.

Anyone who thinks Diggins is overrated isn't thinking objectively. She's an honest to goodness All American; best player on the #2 team in the country. Doesn't change my opinion re: the foul thing, though.

OK - Notre Dame did not play a sloppy half. My bad

 

[bruinbball]

Skylar is playing very well. I thought Loyd would really help ND, but ND is a lot better than I thought they would be this year. Credit to Muffet, Skylar and McBride.

Weird to be rooting for Tennessee--

...and Loyd and Mabry for playing like upperclassmen. I honestly thought ND would be weaker in the post and that the freshmen wouldn't be impact players until they were more seasoned.

agreed. I found myself in that same position early in the first half especially when they scored early. I stopped immediately of course, got frustrated with what I saw from both teams, and am now am taking a more neutral track.

 

[RadyLady]

Achonwa now with four fouls

 

[Vowelguy]

Another key shot by diggins to stop a run

 

[bruinbball]

Those four fouls quickly changed the UT aggressiveness but Skylar hits a big 3 to slow the UT run.

 

[RadyLady]

down to a 10 point lead for ND

Wrong too.

 

[Vowelguy]

That was a foul on simmons

 

[bruinbball]

6 point game....4:33 left

 

[RadyLady]

6 point game, but I didn't really like that last call on ND.

 

[Vowelguy]

18-5 run for tn

 

[RadyLady]

THAT was a strange call on McBride

 

[RadyLady]

gotta be over now with that shot

 

[Vowelguy]

Diggins assist for layup and then a 3. Game over.

 

[John Glass]

they need to double the size of the no charge arc

We all knew that Skylar was a terrific player. What is there to hate? She works hard has wonderful BB IQ and delivers in crunch time. Clearly the dominant player on their team and makes others look better.

Looks like it was a blowout until Notre Dame took their foot off the gas.

Beats me. All I said was that the first half was sloppy for both teams including, sadly, ms diggins.
My opinion of course

 

[OneTrickPony]

That was a good game...Skylar made all the hype seem very reasonable...making up for down games by Achonwa and McBride. If Tennessee had an offense, they'd be dangerous...Holly has them pretty revved up. Shame about those two straight fouls by Kamiko Williams...pretty much salted the game away for ND.

Has anyone heard about whether Izzy hurt her meniscus further...she landed on that left leg and I couldn't tell where she was hurting.

That's the knee she had the ice pack on, so unfortunately it's likely. Hopefully, it's just a tweak and not a tear.
