Tennessee @ Notre Dame (16) - 11/11/19

[Plebe]

For me, Tenn hasn’t been relevant in years whereas MM always finds a way to insult, slight and irritate most opposing teams so she can NEVER lose enough for me. On talent alone, this is not a great ND team and would not be ranked intheTop 25 however MM can plan, scheme and coach so they will be good. Jolly is still an unknown with these types of expectations but I will actually be rooting Hard for the LVs. Now, I need some mouth wash after saying that...

I am constitutionally forbidden from cheering for Tennessee. I despise Muffet, but if she doesn't find a way to beat Tennessee in this game, she will suffer my wrath.

Tennessee looks better on D than they did at any point last year. I wonder how long that will last in this game.

The offense for both teams seems to be a lot of one-on-one and the Irish's first option is clearly Brunelle.

 

[Orangutan]

Offense is just a struggle for ND. No reliable post presence and little outside shooting. Plus no continuity since everyone is new.

 

[Mdoggie]

Watched ND the other night. Brunelle looks out of shape.

Yikes, large swaths of empty seats are visible in the arena. Somehow I don't remember seeing those last year when UConn visited. Fair-weather fans, I see y'all.

Tennessee looking solid so far

Lot of one on one offense for both teams

After the game at Fordham, it sounds like their fans know it will be a long year.

Bad weather in the area.

Snowed and was unseasonably cold in Chicago today. I believe South Bend was much the same.

Reported on FB, Zaay out the rest of the season with a torn ACL. So sad for her. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Dang! Hate to hear stuff like this! I wish her a speedy recovery!

 

[Geew1992]

Tennessee still can’t shoot

I mean 7600 came out to for the Loyola MD game. Attendance will likely dip a little this year but it's mostly weather tonight.

Neither of these teams can. Some easy shots bricked by both teams

 

[DaBball]

Muffet gotta get Walker and Gilbert more shots. Brunelle is just gunning up threes.

 

[Reypl21]

Brunelle is having a tough game. But she's clearly her teams first option, and the other players are learning the ND system. I thought Gilbert and Walker have shown some flashes.

 

[Orangutan]

I don't mind most of Brunelle's shot selection but her jumper just hasn't been on so far this season.

Course you could say that for most of the team. Gilbert looks pretty smooth in the midrange and Walker has her moments but that's about it.

Was Brunelle the player who got a lot of attention very early in the recruiting process?

 

[Crazyhorse]

I am forbidden from cheering for Notre Dame, go Tennessee!

My son reported 6”of snow and still snowing in the Detroit area

 

[DallasBUFan]

Tennessee actually looks like they have an offense. Last year they just were in a constant disarray. I like what I have seen in terms of improvement already in the two quarters I have seen.

 

[DallasBUFan]

It's even gonna be low 20's in Texas tonight.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Last time ND had less than 30 points at the half????

 

[eebmg]

So weird seeing ND like this.

Yes, that's her

 

[Crazyhorse]

So weird seeing ND like this.

I am thoroughly enjoying it

For the most part, I've been impressed with Tennessee on both ends of the floor. They actually seem interested in playing defense this year and their offense involved more passing once they calmed down. Still they need to make open 5-10 foot jumpers if they hope to make it anywhere.
