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

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.

Mabrey2 another 3 tie game at 49

ND up 51-49

 

[Blueballer]

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

 

[Shades]

ND living by the three.

That'll change in the 2nd half after Muffet talks to the refs.

 

[Orangutan]

I defended Arike a minute ago but her jumper has gone missing and she needs to find it.

Those midrange looks are there and the shot selection is ok but they are just not falling.

 

[GoUconn7961]

I've noticed a theme - a lot of ugly second halves. I'm already multi-tasking during this game.

 

[Orangutan]

That'll change in the 2nd half after Muffet talks to the refs.

I'm ready for ND to start getting calls any minute now.

Late to this party. Still don’t know who will win, but was was watching with a friend who doesn’t watch much women’s hoops. When A&M was celebrating being up big 2 minutes into the second quarter, I told him they are celebrating way too soon.

 

[BostonCanuck]

Outstanding offensive contributions by Howard down low, and on the rebound. Unfortunately, A&M does not have the defensive prowess or the conditioning to pull this one off. Now on the plus side, no one's told Chennedy Carter that, so keep watching!

 

[BoomBoom]

Extracurriculars between Arike and Chennedy at the end of the 3rd.

 

[HoopsFan21]

ND's mascot is so corny. LOL imagine being the dude that signs up to do that job?

 

[Orangutan]

Extracurriculars between Arike and Chennedy at the end of the 3rd.

Can't imagine Arike took kindly to that hard foul on her transition layup attempt.

 

[Kaizen]

Mabrey has 7 three...LOL

 

[HoopsFan21]

Mabrey has 7 three...LOL

Hope to see Lou do something like that some time soon

 

[ConnecticutBB]

Hillman's appears to be frustrated ...hard to play well with that mind set...Let's step it up
A&M.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Blair can't be happy about that last basket by Arike
