SC vs Notre Dame 11/26/17

You can't count out ND when it comes to game planning and coherent offense. I think MM is one of the best in the country (outside UConn brain trust) and has an advantage over SC in this area. Over 55% in FG and 3pt shots. UConn will have a nice challenge defensively. It will be sweet.

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.

SC also misses Bianca-Cuevas who’s been out all season so far with a knee injury, and no Te’a Cooper who may or may not be receiving a transfer waiver after the 1st of the year.

Why didn't he @Debbie? Cause he know's she would have flamed him. He is so embarrassing.

what a shoot out... both teams scored 85 or more... defense anyone?

Actually SCar didn't shoot very well but they got to the line a bunch to supplement that. ND lived on lay ups.

Good game by Both teams. I'm not very happy with Dawns coaching this game. ND just had way too many Offensive rebounds and a majority of their players were shorter then ours. Hopefully SC doesn't fall to far but this lost was needed. A young team that didn't give up and missing SR leader Cuevas-Moore and Transfer Tea Cooper. Good luck to ND the rest of the way as to my Gamecocks we need ALOT OF WORK! Wilson can't do it by herself and this lost just assured this team of that.
 
I note that both Young & Ogunbowle put up 22 points countering Wilson’s 34. That tells me that SC really misses Gray & Davis athleticism and perimeter defense, and ND struggles defending the post without Turner. IMO, the Huskies will exploit both weaknesses when they face ND & SC respectively.

ND's guard play was the difference..................let's see how UConn handles Ogunbawle, Young, Mabrey and Thompson.........................63 points tonight..............
 
I knew she was capable of it but I am still a little surprised (very pleasantly) to see Jackie Young asserting herself as option 1a alongside Arike.

That is huge and very necessary with Marina off to a slow start.

Honestly was prepared for a loss here. This is a massive win in a long stretch of games away from home. This game Oregon St., and USF are 3 nice wins to have at this early stage.
 
I was reading the play by play and it seemed like there was a LOT of layups in this game. ND got a few rebounds off their own free throw misses. That should not happen. Not as many as they got.
 
Great win for ND. But I don't think we will lose at home to them even without Lou. I saw them last week vs Oregon State and thought it was one of the weaker ND teams I've seen since pre Diggins for them. But can't count out Muffet vs anyone.

I think Louisville and ND should be #2-3 right now.

Agreed that they didn't look great vs. Oregon State, but if you'd seen today's game, you would no longer think this. ND elevated its play today.
 
Shooting 55% against USC is quite a feat. And they out-rebounded the Gamecocks too. Impressive.
 
In a complicated world, it's nice that some things, like hating Notre Dame, are sooo easy! Still, I have to give Muffett credit. She remains the second best coach in the game, That status, I'm happy to say, will remain fully intact next week.
