Notre Dame @ Virginia Tech 1/16/19

[Orangutan]

I wonder what would happen if #24 for ND gave a cheap shot to Little Mabrey..... would Big Mabrey say something to her teammate?

This being Marina, of course there's a quote for that:

 

[bbballfan23]

Arike's last game & this game so far...3/20 FG.

Arike's last game & this game so far...3/20 FG.

POY! But she did hit the two biggest shots of the season last year, which ESPN will remind us all of about 500 more times before this season is over.

I wonder why this game is on a Wednesday night.... thats unusual for the ACC

I find it funny how much some of You people hate ND.

You realize this isn't a Notre Dame board, right?
You realize that almost everyone outside the South Bend Bubble hates Notre Dame, right?

I like a couple of the players. Not a huge fan of how some of them & their head coach carry themselves at times. I think that's more than understandable.

Yeah I do realize that and I still find it funny.

Interesting. I almost want Ogunbowale to take a cheap shot at Dara to see how Marina would react.

Of course, Dara has been on campus a number of times, including this fall for the Michigan football weekend. She knows all of ND's players very well. She's practically the whole team's little sister. I don't see anyone coming after her. And if they do, they'll have to answer to more than just Marina.

Yeah I do realize that and I still find it funny.

I find it funny that some people who never even attended Notre Dame gravitate toward rooting for them.

I guess we find different things funny.

I would think the Mabrey sisters would be going at each other hard on the court. After the game is over it's all about family but while you're on the court you want to win and get bragging rights.


There have been several games featuring sisters on opposing teams over the years that I've been aware of. I believe there were 2 meetings between Gonzaga and Tennessee when each had a Bjorklund (Jamie and Angie). Gonzaga was also involved in a sister showdown when they faced Stanford and each had a Tinkle (Joslyn and Elle, now frequently seen together courtside in Corvallis rooting for their younger brother Tres and dad Wayne, the coach of the OSU men's team). I'm pretty sure UConn and Stanford avoided playing each other during the year's Karlie and Katie Lou's careers overlapped.

73-44 ND end of 3rd Quarter.

Guilty, but at least I have a half-decent origin story for my fandom.

 

[triaddukefan]

this turned into a monkey stomping

 

[nwhoopfan]

I don't have ACC Network so not watching the game. I did see the Iowa game. Both featured a very lopsided 3rd quarter where ND completely blew the game wide open. 29-10 in Q3 tonight.

 

[shinobimono]

Yeah, and the monkey is Dara, now shooting 1 of 10.

Like most teams in the ACC, Virginia Tech is a lot more bark than bite. This makes 4 consecutive losses, likely to be 5 when they visit Raleigh on Sunday.

I think I jynxed Little Mabrey the past few years

to be fair..... most WCBB teams would have trouble with VPI's first 5 ACC games. @Miami, Syracuse, @ UVA, ND, and @ State

I mean, all 4 losses are to conference opponents, so I don't know how you can knock the conference in that regard.

But yeah, they went undefeated in non-conference play without beating anyone of note. Now, it's back to reality.

@UVA??

 

[triaddukefan]

@UVA??

4 of the 5

Though you know as well as I.... you can throw out the record books when the Hokies and Hoos meet up in any sport.

You're jinxing the wrong one, could you please apply your powers against the older Mabrey?

 

[IrishTiger]

80-51 ND Win.

 

[JonathanXIV]

Yeah I do realize that and I still find it funny.

Don't hate Notre Dame. But I am disappointed that they don't conduct themselves with more class and sportsmanship.
