The seeds have been planted. UConn beat ND at ND and Arike apologized to the ND fans for not shaking Genos hand. Now ND is face to face with UConn once again. We will see how it plays out. I think UConn is in their heads. We lost to ND in the FF last season with ND going to the line something like 15-20 more times then UConn and UConn in foul trouble. I dont think that happens tonite. ND cant get into foul trouble because they dont have a deep bench either. I really like our chances in this game. Our W2's are playing like veterans and ONO is a force. This is gonna be a war. UConn 79 ND 72

Notre Dame started their last game tight and ineffective.
They turned it around in the 3rd quarter when Arike was on the bench in foul trouble.
If they start the game the same as last time; the game will be over by half-time.
I'm not saying that is what's going to happen...but it could...
UConn by 18-24 at the half, despite 2nd half heroics, they never get closer than 10.
 
Naturally, I want to see UCONN win. It does upset me, at times, when they do not hustle or use their heads.
I do NOT want to see an unguarded ND player score on a layup. I do not want to see a ND player get an offensive rebound without being boxed out.
If ND is pressing on defense, I don't want to see a UCONN player get boxed in a corner, or get tied up when doubled-teamed.
IF UCONN's shooting is off, that is ok. That just happens, but they can stay in the game by using: HUSTLE+ THEIR HEADS.
 
The key to getting a win tonight is limiting Young on offense, and not allowing her to get to the line. She basically won the game last year in the Final Four. She was their leading scorer in the December game, and started the second half run against Stanford last week. She is definitely their best player

I like your optimism! I hope you're correct. :)
 
My wife and I will be rooting for the Team from our home in Northern New Mexico. I really would like to see UConn win this year, just for the vindication. However, I really feel that UConn has already won for this entire season getting to the final four. Wonderful job! UConn by 10 no matter the score.
 
I’m Ready! Let’s Go!!

Going to be a real battle. ND lives on the free throw line. Not sure how UConn avoids ND's skill at drawing fouls. Our girls have to shoot great tonight and play smart defense. Starting to stress already.
Go Huskies!!!

Did you mix up some meds?
 
ND? ND? why would any reasonably informed fan of the game think otherwise than Uconn
shreds a team named 'No D?' I mean, it's like right there in their name, No D. too easy. y'all think too much...dawg domination! bow, wow, wow, yippee yo, yippee yay.

I think first team to 80 wins.

I think both sides get their paint points.

Guard guards guards....both sides of the ball.

And make your FT’s.
 
Once again, we look into the deep, dark, truthful mirror and find out who we are...
 
LAST MINUTE PREDICTION

I've consulted my Nostradamus and I foresee us forcing overtime, and one of our starters making a buzzer beater for the win...... ....ON SUNDAY!

Today we come out swinging (as Pheesa says) and bury them by a dozen.

Im saying. I got the exact opposite prediction. ND will have a double digit lead at half and win by like 20.

You do realize that this is a UConn forum, right?

You are a downer (unless you're a ND fan). :)
I just don't think we'd ever lose by 20!

Yeah, does that mean I can't be honest with my opinion? Even Geno said they were the better team. I WANT UConn to win, but I'm a realist.
 
Think this will be close. I want it to be a total blowout were ND get buried and Arike has zero points but I will take a 1 point win, UConn of course!
