So. Bend Trib: Get a load of this....

"It’s that chip on the shoulder that sets them apart. Why did they beat UConn a couple weeks ago? They smacked the Huskies with a determined but not demeaning style of basketball that Connecticut couldn’t answer."

Playing with an edge sets Irish apart

Similar to what Stef (and maybe KML? others?) said in the post-game.......

An interesting interpretation of a one-point game...where's the chip now, I wonder?

 

[ThisJustIn]

I guess we'll see when the rematch happens, huh?

It's a "load" alright.

Let's be honest tho. ND has owned UCONN the past 3 years, simple as that. They have a swagger about them and rightfully so. What is our record against them the past 3 seasons? I know it's a losing one. If we want to "shut them up", then we will have to do something we've rarely done lately, and that's beat them.

Speaking of elbows(article), did anyone else see Heather catch the elbow to the head toward the end of the Louisville game? That should have been an automatic flagrant foul. It did not appear to be an accident since the elbow was directed up about six inches.

From Dolson's post-game comments after the ND loss:

"We came into this game and we weren't ready. I don't think we were ready for how hard Notre Dame was going to come at us. They out-toughed us."

This begs the question... why weren't they ready after 3 years of losing?

Well the next time we meet we will be healthly and hopefull 100%. Then we will see. I like the idea Geno is thinking about playing Stef Breanna and Kiah together. Then we'll see who gets slapped down. We werent 100% the last time and lost by 1. Im lovin it.
