Notre Dame-Tenn

[HuskyNan]

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.

...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.

 

[RadyLady]

Weird to be rooting for Tennessee--

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.

I lost one mensicus through repeated tears...very painful and it would fill up with fluid after about 20 minutes of running around...I hope she does better than I did...she's had a very good year so far...

Yeah, this ol' Boneyard is so full of haters, unlike you and me DC. We're better than that.

Say, I hear the Candice Wiggins, Sylvia Fowles and Alison Bales hate clubs will hold a joint meeting at halftime tonight. Fifteen paces to the right of the Carvel stand.

Be there. We'll take names.

 

[Icebear]

Does it convene before or after the McCarthy hearings?

Before. Then we hold the hearings and announce the number of (unidentified) Yarders who are card-carrying members of the hater clubs.

I hear the Nneke Ogwumike haters were a late scratch. Lost their cards or something.

How could you forget Ivory Latta, Jessica Foley and Sameeka (unsure of spelling) Randall? Or the Frese?

This is about all the players who led their teams to victory over UConn without inspiring Boneyard hatred. Consistent with DC's "normally," we can identify them as being hated anyway if we want to.

So as a contribution to paranoia support, we'll approve your suggestion of Latta and Foley.

Randall and Frese are disqualified. They really had haters.

 

[UConnCat]

How 'bout St John's Shenneika Smith who made the game-winning shot that stopped UConn's home winning streak? We hate her, don't we?

 

[Sargassoc]

Semeka "Boo" Randall is a legit candidate.

In fact, I'm booing right now just thinking about her. (People are looking at me oddly.)

you must beat UConn multiple times... tell a reporter you're not afraid of UConn or committ a "hard foul" (aka, a mugging) on a UConn player
