As most know, the game will be played in South Bend (Purcell Pavillion). ND will have just played Maryland in the ACC/B1G classic.
For those not familiar with her, that's Maddy Westbeld featured in ad. Nice to be able to post about a game, even if it's nearly 5 months off!
And make way for some lawyers.How did Paige not snag the photo or at least share as UConn vs ND ?
Fire the marketing guys.
eebmg, I'm surprised at you missing the boat here. Look at who posted this originally on Twitter. Notre Dame Women's Basketball. Of course they are going to feature one of their players. For them to create a post featuring Paige (instead of one of their own players, would be like UConn posting a similar ad for this game featuring a ND player. They don't like UConn. I don't think they are interested in sharing the spotlight with us.How did Paige not snag the photo or at least share as UConn vs ND ?

"They don't like UConn. I don't think they are interested in sharing the spotlight with us."
Dillon77, we got no beef. I don't have a query or problem with the production or marketing of this ad. Talk to eebmg. He's the one questioning why: How did Paige not snag the photo or at least share as UConn vs ND ?"They don't like UConn. I don't think they are interested in sharing the spotlight with us."
Carnac: As you said in your earlier post, this is a huge game for WCBB, UConn and, obviously, Notre Dame, as well. I think the ND marketing folks don't hold much of a view outside of the fact that this is a early-season draw for Niele & Company. Of course, you'd expect an ND player front and center and Maddy is one of ND's top returning players. However, I think the UConn Husky got some nice positioning front and left!
As both teams get closer to the contest, I'm sure there will be many more media placements.
At some point in the future UConn WBB will produce and market a similar poster/placement on Twitter promoting the game that will feature a UConn player.
I thought it was the network (ABC) designing the promo and ND just plucked it out,
ABC/ESPN do not have UConn’s media rights but do own ND’s for home and ACC games. ESPN/ABC will of course use Paige and UConn to market game given UConn’s history of high ratings.I thought it was the network (ABC) designing the promo and ND just plucked it out,
And if it's a selection from ND players only, I would pick the most visible (Olivia Miles) but I suppose an upperclassman can get the nod.
Me too. I like Olivia Miles as I liked Brianna Turner. l like Miles’ game.I thought it was the network (ABC) designing the promo and ND just plucked it out,

WBB is a guards game and I think ND might have the best backcourt not located in Storrs, CT.
Undercard is right. UConn/ND on ABC while VaTech/Tennessee on ESPN 2.At least the press are getting it right

FYI, in announcing the game today the Hartford Courant included a photo of Paige dribbling while being guarded by Westbeld. Surely the folks in South Bend could have found a similar photo to announce the game between two of WBB’s biggest rivals….Dillon77, we got no beef.

For the same reason that UConn WBB issued an announcement on its Twitter page, which you posted yesterday, highlighting the game with the ND logo prominently displayed and a small Husky logo in the upper corner - to promote a great WBB game in support of a worthy cause.
Folks need to accept that not everything is about UConn
like her game as well, it's hard to find fault with Maddy being on the add. She is a hardnosed player with a lot of game. She is one of three players on ND I like, she is a baller. Like most on the BY I would rather drink bleach than watch ND and their players unless they are being flummoxed by almost anyone.
I agree. This is about WBB and cancer research. The opportunity to raise money for research and grow the women’s game at the same time is a unique opportunity for everyone involved.
Pour me one.I

Anyone that has read my posts regarding Notre Dame knows I don't care for that University or its football program. I do like and respect the ND posters that post here regularly. I always enjoy reading their comments and takes. They have proven to be very knowledgeable fair minded. It has nothing to do with the WBB team, it never has.
I do believe that alcohol was a contributing factor in that matter. I was a young impressionable teen in 1964. I had never experienced anything like that before or since. Ummmm....its a Notre Dame post/announcement..How did Paige not snag the photo or at least share as UConn vs ND ?
