UConn (formerly #2) @ Notre Dame (formerly #1)

[eebmg]

ONO's stuff on Mabrey2 looked awesome, but I think her arm came down on Mabrey2's shoulder. A foul was not called. ONO has to get rid of the chopping motion when trying to block shots. I don't think Azura ever got rid of that habit.

4 years and no running to the WNBA, I think we will have it licked.

Had to correct the thread title

You get the Badass Mod award for today!

Boston and Jones having regrets now. We will be in good hands with CW, ONO, and Meg. The future is bright!

Impressive win by UCONN, Williams is the real deal. Loved the interview with her after too, seems like a really sweet kid. Notre Dame was really frustrated in the 2nd half and wasn't able to calm down or finish plays in the paint. Body language by Arike and Mabrey was particularly bad in the 4th quarter. Guessing a rematch in the tournament will be more competitive, as I don't expect ND to shoot 1-12 from deep and both teams will get more from their bench too. Congrats on the win and #1 ranking, very much deserved.

That elbow at mid court that 3 officials somehow missed was ejection worthy. Just a vicious shot.

I thought I was the only one who saw that. The one they finally caught was her third time doing it.

I must be honest here. I never thought that UConn would be ranked #1 at anytime during this season.
This is the second time I've been wrong this year (I thought Boston was a lock to come here).
The Huskies will awake in the morning as the new #1 team in the country. I love it!!! Hey yard, we've got ourselves a team!!!

Mechelle Vopel got this one right:

"UConn freshman Christyn Williams certainly didn't look like anything was weighing her down. In her first visit to Purcell Pavilion, she walked in like she owned the building"

UConn upends No. 1 Notre Dame behind freshman Williams' big day

ND fans seem to think Geno somehow baited her into that first technical. Not really sure since the cameras were focused on the free throws, so I guess we'll never know what happened there.

Maybe Geno pointed out that no last second heroics are going to help you now.

"We have Geno and you don't..." Sometimes we look at the games UConn loses (usually narrowly and few and far between) and can take for granted how truly amazing Geno is (and CD and staff). We've had a chance to watch his basketball genius year in, year out.

 

[DeeHusky]

I didn’t even notice that the jerseys were black until I saw Stewie tweeted that they are. Sue Bird didn’t either as she responded, “they still look blue.”

Period!

"UConn did not get any of its top recruiting targets for next season, which prompted a lot of kvetching from worried Huskies fans in the past week. But UConn looks to have quite a gem in Williams, who has only just begun her college career. Great news for the Huskies -- and scary for everyone else. "

Get rid of these morons doing the game. Talking about a golf tournament while N.D. is shooting a third foul shot for who knows why and a turnover for who knows what reason. Pay attention to the game. Laughing the whole time. find a crew that can do a game.

So many of the commentators act like this. Disappointing.

I used DVR to rewatch it. But with a 3 man crew there is no way that should be missed

Great game by UConn. CW - just amazing. She is unfazed by all the hype. Olivia played well. Held her own, battled underneath. Geno said the frosh would have to contribute and they did.

Megan played tough. Lou, dispite a tough shooting night, rebounded, handed out assists and finally found her rhythm. Pheesa and Crystal caused ND all sorts of problems.

Very disappointed in ND's behavior on the court. Muffet has some serious work to do.

Agreed!! Great game by Liv. She did hold her own in the biggest game she will play before March. In his post game presser, Geno said he was impressed with Liv’s play, and that she would see a lot more playing time.

 

[UConn82]

I must admit that I was so nervous (despite my claim that I would be Zen) that I did not watch the 2nd half.

I have some fun to watch.

 

[shizam]

I agree. The nonstop babbling is annoying.

They pull this ALL the time. It’s part of their Schtick.

I still think they were blue.

Kvetching! Ha , great word.

IDK I think the Mabrey temper tantrum after was more fun LOL

Agreed!! Great game by Liv. She did hold her own in the biggest game she will play before March.

We will have need of ONO again before March. She is starting to catch on. Hope she is majoring in weight training!
