The game will be Honoring the 2004 and 2014 National Championship Teams. Both @triaddukefan and @CamrnCrz1974 should enjoy this as well as the 2004 Team (led by Diana) went 31-4 with their only home loss coming at XL (former Hartford Civic Center and 16,294 fans) to Duke 68-67. So we beat Tennessee twice (once at TN and once in the NCAAT final) but lost at ND, at 'Nova and at home to the "hey day of the Blue Devil program!" Queue up Barbara Streisand's "Memories" song....
 
This is the biggest game of the second half of the season. It will be a good test to see just how good the Freshmen are and if they can handle a team with a little length.

1. Compete and keep the boards close especially on the offensive end.
2. Take care of the ball. Turnovers could negate any advantage ND has on the boards
3. Play smart defense. They can't afford to get into foul trouble in this game

Well, since Both Paige and Azzi were both injured in games against ND, my one and only wish is that NO ONE, from either team gets hurt. Yep, thats it.

This brings back painful memories...... New TOP three things; 1. No injury 2. No injury 3. No injury
We need everyone for the rest of the season and the tournaments ( Big East, NCAA )!

Boneyarders at the game: Keep an eye out for 'interesting' visitors behind
our bench....maybe including Sarah Strong?
 
1. Right from the jump ball UConn take the fight to ND the whole 40 minute game! No lapses!
2. Have the fans in Gampel engaged right from the start! ROWDY!
3. NO INJURIES!

I have to ask: How many grand kids does Westbled have? It's like she's been on ND forever.

I hope you're not serious. Katherine Westbeld played on the championship team as a junior at ND followed by her sister Madeline Westbeld. Maddy is a senior but has a covid year option if she chooses.
 
1. Combination of KK and Nika keep pressure on Hidalgo
2. Rebound, rebound, rebound
3. Goes along with 2, Ice will be needed to help with Notre Dame’s frontcourt, and she will need to show up and be physical.

1. The refs don't try to make themselves the stars of the game.

2. ND plays a clean game.

3. Ash and Paige have a high point contest.
 
1-- Paige and Aaliyah to play like their projected POY/All-Amercan pre-season status as thought to be and show to clearly be the best two players on the floor.

2-- Both KK and Ashlynn to outplay Hidalgo.

3-- Nika Muhl to show off she is an efficient scorer (not just shooter) from both mid-range and 3.
 
As usual no injuries (for either team) is always a given as is a win!
1. No one even notices the Refs this game because it is so well called. UConn stays out of foul trouble.
2. A good shooting night from the whole team.
3. A great defensive performance from all as they play great team D.
 
1. No Dee Kantner officiating the game, she has missed every foul done by ND when playing against UConn.
2. UConn plays hard and fast, both on offense and defense.
3. No injuries

After a solid road win against Marquette, our game Saturday is our next important game with implications for March. Here are my top 3 things:

1) Nika and KK to have great defensive games and to control Hidalgo.

2) Paige to be Paige from the opening tip.

3) No ticky-tack fouls on defense and no offensive fouls on forced drives.

Big game for sure with a lot of history behind it. What are your top 3?

0-3. Brutal.

Especially your #1. Complete opposite happened.
