Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 4449909, member: 7548"] Just to feed the "ESPN hates UConn and loves everyone else" theme, ESPN just put out an incredibly long and detained article on Olivia Miles . Saccharine Sweet Alert., Description of MD loss After opening the season with six straight wins, Miles and Notre Dame encountered their first taste of adversity Thursday night, dropping a heartbreaker at home to Maryland, 74-72. With 55 seconds to go and Notre Dame trailing by two, Miles snagged a defensive board and sprinted up the court toward the basket. Swerving through the lane, Miles flicked the ball off the backboard with her right hand as she was fouled. Her free throw put the Fighting Irish on top, but only temporarily. It was Miles at her best, but it wasn't enough. Plagued by foul trouble all night, Miles finished with 14 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. There's no time to sulk. (sic) But she did miss a critical (contested) bucket And no Nika mention?? for Sunday game Next up is No. 3 UConn (Sunday, 3 p.m. ET, ABC), a storied rival that has beaten Notre Dame by an average of 21.5 points in their past two meetings. It will feature a showdown between two of the best sophomores in the country: [URL='http://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4433790/azzi-fudd']Azzi Fudd[/URL] vs. Olivia Miles.
