SC vs Notre Dame 11/26/17

SC leads by 7 at the Q2 media timeout.

I can't overstate how physical the officials are allowing ND to be with Wilson. In the Rutgers game she would've already shot about 10 free throws by now. Shepard and Nelson and the help defenders are bodying her a lot.
 
Notre Dame fighting back. Be interesting to see how this game went with Turner around.
 
The Irish take the lead. Shepard making her presence known now.
 
I wonder if MM told Thompson not to shot so much, she took a bunch of shots at Stanford, but seems to have changed her game at ND, I always thought some of the best ND teams had guards taking a most of shots.
 
Notre Dame has surged into a 3-point lead at halftime thanks to defensive lapses by SC. Notre Dame has scored a ton of uncontested layups on back cuts and slip screens, and SC just isn't matching up well right now. SC's offense has also gone stagnant and again, ND is simply getting away with pushing in the lane to neutralize Wilson.
 
.-.
The Irish erase the 10-pt deficit and lead 41-38 at the half. Telling you, ND will be stout with Turner next year.
 
Half....ND 41 - SC 38
Working the ball inside (ND) numerous layups made.

No big parade to the line for her in this game huh?

As I have pointed out elsewhere, the refs are letting Shepard of Notre Dame get away with lots of pushing and body contact on Wilson. It's really stunning.

Notre Dame, down by ten, up by three at half time. Interesting comeback against Gamecocks. We don't have TV, the game five miles away at Germain Arena. What does it bode for our UCONN team? True competition or a battle for second and third among non-equals? Wanna wade in?

Yeah that sounds like ND Basketball. Hammer the other guys and flop yourself.
 
SC is completely falling apart right now. Notre Dame is scoring almost exclusively on layups and putbacks. ND up by 13 in middle of Q3.

I want ND to win so we meet them as an undefeated team. It is always much sweeter to beat an undefeated ND team (we have a little experience in that area :D)
 
Debbie Antonelli just made a great point. It was when Wilson went to the bench for a rest in Q2 that things really turned south for SC.

IMO Oregon missed a great opportunity yesterday. They should have scheduled to play UConn instead of Oklahoma. The attendance was 6.2K. If they played UConn they could have opened up the Upper Bowl and probably sell out the game, especially if it didn't conflict with the football game. Students could have attended the basketball game and then gone on to the football game. Who knows an Oregon vs UConn matchup might have been on National TV.

One would wonder why no one in their marketing department didn't think of that possibility. On the other hand, maybe they did, but the head nixed that idea. The head coach does have the final say in who they schedule for their pre-conference portion of their schedule.

It's always possible that their head coach (Kelly Graves) was more concerned about taking a possible blowout loss to UConn (and starting out the season on a very sour note, ala Stanford 0-2) rather than absorb a small turnout at the gate. They followed Ohio State's lead (switched UConn for Louisville as their opponent in their "Countdown to Columbus" showcase), and took the path of least resistance.

SC finally stops the slide and pulls it back to an 8-point game. Timeout Notre Dame.
 
From the box score it appears ND is significantly out-rebounding SC. ND has more assists too.

Yes. I can't even count how many times ND would miss a layup and collect the rebound for the putback. Sometimes multiple rebounds.

SC just looks lost.

SC depends to much on Wilson and shes being defended pretty good. I gotta wonder if SC is standing around waiting for her to take over and because of NDs defense shes having problems and no one else is stepping up.
 
Thanks for the radio feed bags! Rout now.
