Texas A&M vs Notre Dame - 3/24/18

[wbball novice]

Jackie Joyner? Do you mean Flo-Jo?

Howard I believe was originally in track. Was it Flo-Jo who competed w/full make up and nails?

 

[Shades]

Howard might make a decent WNBA player.

 

[bbballfan23]

Ogunbowale has been just plain bad against great competition this year. Most overrated player in the country.

 

[HoopsFan21]

ND right back in this one, only down 4 now.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Swaggy Aggie is gonna need to start raining triples if they want to move on to the E8.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Notre Dame had 5 Consecutive Final Fours (2010-2015) and now have gone two years without making the F4. Its early, but are we looking at three consecutive years, not making the F4?

Yes. Flo-Jo was the sprint queen who blew away the field in '88 and was almost too good to be true that year. Jackie Joyner-Kersee was the legendary long jumper and heptathlete.

She can certainly shoot...but plays little defense.

False.

 

[CtQuip]

Carter carries the ball everytime she dribbles. It is very obvious...

 

[ConnecticutBB]

Somebody better guard Mabrey.

Thanks, Plebe. You're like a back-up for my deteriorating memory.

 

[HoopsFan21]

4 threes and 17 pts for Mabrey2 already

 

[HoopsFan21]

47-45 A&M half

 

[Plebe]

Thanks, Plebe. You're like a back-up for my deteriorating memory.

Understandable mistake; their names are somewhat similar. Florence Griffith-Joyner vs. Jackie Joyner-Kersee.

 

[wbball novice]

How's Westbeld doing?

 

[Blue Huskie]

Didn't expect this. I thought ND would roll in this game.

 

[eebmg]

Fun game. Impressed with ND's resolve and Mabrey is cold blooded. Chennedy Interview "disdain"

 

[bbballfan23]

False.

Look at her shooting percentages against UConn, Louisville twice & even Duke (other great guards to go up against). Her expecting is played well against S. Carolina but still shot under 50% that game.

 

[Orangutan]

ND played about as poorly as possible from the middle of the 1st to the middle of the 2nd and only down by 2.

 

[Shades]

47-45 TAMU end of half

Carter 15 pts, 4 ast
Howard 13 pts, 4 reb

Mabrey 13 pts, 3 ast
OGUNBOWALE 10 pts, 4 ast

 

[Reypl21]

If you didn't watch the first half, who would you guess had 11 FTs vs the other team's 0. ND or TaM

 

[wbball novice]

Understandable mistake; their names are somewhat similar. Florence Griffith-Joyner vs. Jackie Joyner-Kersee.

In my muddled way I was trying to say that Howard was imitating and paying homage to her track and field idol. Some of the comments sounded a little judge-y regarding her stylistic choices and I was trying to contextualize.

 

[HuskyNan]

Arike seems to be a second half player. We'll see what she does in the next quarter.

 

[Shades]

Swaggy Aggie is gonna need to start raining triples if they want to move on to the E8.

Huh? They're in the lead. They should keep going inside to high percentage Hillsman and Howard.

 

[Shades]

She can certainly shoot...but plays little defense.

I've seen her undercut opposing post players when they go up for a rebound more than once.

 

[Orangutan]

Look at her shooting percentages against UConn, Louisville twice & even Duke (other great guards to go up against). Her expecting is played well against S. Carolina but still shot under 50% that game.

2nd Louisville game she was good. She was good in both Florida State games. She was good against South Carolina.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Mabrey2 another 3 tie game at 49

 

[HoopsFan21]

ND up 51-49

 

[Blue Huskie]

Teams have to overplay Mabrey. She'll shoot it from a mile away.
