Notre Dame vs Louisville - 3/04/18

[eebmg]

So what were the words between Walz and McGraw? Seemed Walz was the initiator? Maybe he did not like Muffet giving an icy handshake?

 

[01Neaggrad02]

please someone has to find out and let us know. Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

I hate to bring this up, but If this was a guy's game ESPN would be all over that exchange by the coaches. For the women's game they forget it and move on - LOL

 

[triaddukefan]

 oh my. What a game..

 

[EricLA]

What a hard fought game and mega-congrats to L'ville for pulling out the win. 2 very good teams going AT it. Serious heavy-weight battle between 2 teams probably destined to be in the final 4. I would not be surprised to see one of them in our opposite region should all the seeds make the final 4. Also since there was no blowout, I can't see how Baylor elevates to a 1-seed no matter what happens in their tourney...

Regarding the post game "handshake", hopefully one of the more responsible reporters asks about it in the post game interview. I suspect we'd see a more frosty answer from Muffet since her team just lost...

 

[Plebe]

Handshake DRAMA.

Muffet was going hard for the blow-by but Walz stopped her to say something. And Muffet was not happy.

So now we have to know: What did he say? Someone get on this NOW.

Congrats to Louisville. For Winning the ACC Tournament, you'll get Baylor in your region.
If Baylor is in Louisville Region, you know ESPN and others will be talking about the Previous Upset and Baylor will be looking for Payback.

Will we ever know what Jeff said to Muffet?

 

[Centerstream]

I don't think it was ESPN.

The entire ACC tournament has had technical issues in Greensboro. This happened in the other rounds/games as well.

True but it was because of very high winds in the Greensboro area but today it has been a lot calmer...

They don't want "cattiness."

I think he referenced Muffet and her discredit to Asia Durr this week in the press if i had to guess.

How did she discredit Durr? Background please.

 

[01Neaggrad02]

No surprise. He’s a jerk.

Oh and that makes Muffet a Saint?

 

[eebmg]

I think he referenced Muffet and her discredit to Asia Durr this week in the press if i had to guess.

Did she say something in the press prior to the game? That seems unlikely to me.

 

[scubadog]

Luckily , I was streaming when signal went out. Seems to me ND should be #1 seed on same side of bracket as Albany now, not Louisville.

 

[eebmg]

Yes. Yes. A thread we can all get excited about. Dirt. Must get dirt.

 

[CocoHusky]

"Best player in the country" takes over

 

[triaddukefan]

I was paying too much attention to the balloons and confetti coming down to noticn the post game coach handshake

 

[ivrytontusker]

Oh and that makes Muffet a Saint?

No, but he loudly complains about pretty much every call that goes against him. She doesn't, and she had a lot to complain about from what I could see. It's laughable that ND's only FTAs came in the first quarter.

Walz's whining doesn't affect games vs. us because we're usually ahead by enough late anyway. But he still does it.

[Bama fan]

I think Saint Muffet's Day is March 17!

 

[HuskyNan]

"The person that won", ouch. I guess that explains Walz's reference that "everyone now knows her name is Asia Durr".

 

[JellyBean]

Wow. Just caught the last few plays of this game. Holy smokes. You could feel the intensity level in that last minute or so. Congratulations, Louisville. Can't wait to hear what Muffet has to say in her press conference.

 

[Plebe]

 

[HawkHusky]

"That person", ouch. I guess that explains Walz's reference that "everyone now knows her name is Asia Durr".

Ya. I believe Muffet's done that about UCONN before too. He probably said something about "knowing her name" or "that's why." I'm on Jeff's side here.

 

[Plebe]

I don't care what other games were on the broadcast schedule. ESPN absolutely MUST cut away to Muffet's press conference.
