Notre Dame vs Louisville - 3/04/18

[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.

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.

I am totally guessing here but I am pretty sure thats what it could be about.

Yea that ranks righ up there with Kmac was the POY over Stewie and not applauding when Stewie was announced as the winner. Good for Jeff for confronting her.

 

[Bama fan]

So the only category in which Arike has not beaten Durr is head to head victories? Surely McGraw knows that winning counts too!

It will be posted on the acc website. They have all the press conferences from this week

Wowsers. " that person who won ...". That is very disrespectful. I give Jeff Walz 2 thumbs up. Now we need to dig up the stats to see if Muffet has a case.

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

She said the person who won. That doesn't seem disrespectful at all to me. Walz needed something to get his players mad, or whatever. Good for him.

 

[wbball novice]

Has Walz already been selected ACC Coach of the Year?

 

[Plebe]

Walz is a purposeful salty jerk and Muffet is a classic passive-aggressive. Let the fireworks begin.

that / the. Same effect.

Too bad I (or we) did not know this before the game. It would have added a lot to the game for me.

 

[Vowelguy]

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

Mowins noted it when it was off camera, and they just offered more explanation in the post game.

 

[HawkHusky]

Y'all were right. Commentators confirmed it.

 

[Vowelguy]

No more calls, we have a winner!

 

[ivrytontusker]

that / the. Same effect.

I disagree, "that player who won" is more dismissive than "the player who won." But whatever, she could have said "Asia Durr" and Walz would still complain about disrespect. Coaches will almost always praise their own players and make the case for their own players. That's entirely normal.

It was very disrespectful. Jeff didn't need anything to motivate his team beyond the last meeting /curb stomping.

Yeah that's kind of rough--she definitely could have phrased that better. Can't blame Walz for standing up for his player...it makes sense too since McGraw was caught off guard by the comment and said, "what" to Jeff. Guessing Muffet didn't think anything of the comment when she made it. I think she's a great coach but she can have a bit of a sore loser streak to her.

I think Muffet is seeing some flashbacks and is mistaking Jeff for Geno.

 

[HawkHusky]

Muffet could have commented on her player being deserving without throwing shade at the Louisville player. "That poster" who called Muffet passive aggressive was right....

[CocoHusky]

"Best player in the country" takes over
"Asia Durr is the best player in the country,” McGraw added!

Muffet would make a great politician. She can't stick to a story.

 

[BoomBoom]

The end-of-game handshake wasn't Walz's only mic drop. The play he drew up to open the game was conference COY worthy.

 

[Blue Huskie]

How did she discredit Durr? Background please.

Yes I must have missed that too.

Mowins noted it when it was off camera, and they just offered more explanation in the post game.

OK. I'm glad they followed up. I don't see where what she said was much different than the standard comment any coach makes when thir guy doesn't get the votes. I think Jeff should have taken the high road after winning but I understand his cockiness too. Eager for the Press conferencess on Watch ESPN

 

[Ron and Vida]

Wasn't sure but at the end of the FSU game yesterday Muffet was talking to one of her players so that it looked like she didn't shake hands with the FSU coach. I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. Do those two coaches have issues?

 

[shizam]

I refuse to listen to Antonelli. Mute and go with it.

I like Antonelli.

 

[shizam]

Great game. Players arguing way to much about the calls. We know officiating is spotty but it doesn't do them any good to react that way.

I like seeing L’ville argue calls. Shows they are into it. They look uninterested in this tourney prior to this game. Antonelli said they play too casual.
