Tourney - Round 3

[WBBTakeover]

For Duke to win, they'll have to contain Fulwiley.

You make it sound so simple. May not have been your intention, but still.

It's almost (not quite, but almost) like saying that UCLA is beatable as long as a team can stop/contain Lauren Betts. There are certain players who are difficult to contain/slow down unless a team has the proper personnel to do so. As much as I've grown to love this iteration of Duke WBB, I have to be realistic. I don't know if the personnel is there to slow down a player like Lay.

Update on former kitties still dancing. Wonder what the 1.2 million dollar coach from the dirty t tells recruits? Hey come on down to the dirty t for a year - you may not get playing time or development but you can transfer to an elite program to go to the dance.

Kaityn Gilbert yesterday for the real fashionist coach - 3-4 for 7 points in key first half duty in the victory over the Pack

Maddie Connor - 23 in the first round and 9 in the second and so far in the 3rd game 11.

Vonleh 16 against old Miss

Notre dame is in trouble. I don’t think Koval is the answer. Need to take her out.

 

[Vowelguy]

We will all be shocked if TCU wins this game, right?

Yes. In terms of pure roster talent ND has as much, if not more, than any team left.

Hailey Van Lith. League her

We are going to have to have some big conversations about Niele Ivey if this result holds.

Hailey Van Lith winning on her own here.

Happy for Hailey Van Lith her pro career looked dead at the end of last year.

 

[WBBTakeover]

We are going to have to have some big conversations about Niele Ivey if this result holds.

The mismanagement of Koval, coupled with the overreliance on Westbeld (when she returned) warrants at least a conversation. I don't think that Niele should be on anything remotely resembling a hot seat, but a discussion is warranted. I just wonder how she'll be able to keep grabbing seniors (in particular, those from P4s/Big East who were elite players in their own right) from the portal if this continues. In other words, if I'm a rising senior/5th year, do I really want to gamble on ND for that final season--especially if we see how it's going to turn out?

I have seen citron really defend Paige well. But have no answers for van lith.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Stick a fork in ND

Hailey Van Lith winning on her own here.

Great team performance - 10 blocks great performances by former Kitty Maddie Connor and the multi-traveled Prince.

Tremendous team defense by TCU squad and in game coaching adjustments by Campbell are remarkable

 

[Vowelguy]

Holy F n cow. I do not believe what my eyes are seeing. ND with no fight.

Only watched last few minutes but I see Hidalgo 3-18 !

TCU just gave their guy a contract extension right? He’s gotta be the hottest non-p2 coach out there.

 

[triaddukefan]

Thanks ND for costing me a shot at the BY tournament challenge and the strawberry cheesecake that @BRS24 was going to send my way.

His work with Van Lith and Prince and the deep pockets in Texas project really well for TCU in the transfer portable

Post game interview with TCU players is a recruiting dream.

 

[Vowelguy]

You’ve got 99% of the BY cheering for your team tomorrow; take what you can get.

I'd like to see if he can sustain it. We've all seen what happens when a coach has a hot season and doesn't sustain that momentum.

 

[Vowelguy]

in the transfer portable

Funny slip o the tongue

 

[azfan]

Funny slip o the tongue

Ikr.... Wish it was intentional but slip up that is really true huh

 

[Stagnant]

How can anyone justify having this crop of talent and making zero final four appearances? To me, Ivey looks like a great recruiter who might not be much of a coach.

 

[jdote33]

I'm not sure what happened to Notre Dame. They were really rolling at one point. It's insane the farthest Sonia citron made it in her career is the sweet 16. Also did adding Westbeld throw the chemistry off a bit mid season.
