Never thought Id root for an Orange team... but beat those Irish

From the first time I saw Tuck play, I thought that a likely outcome. It's just happened much more quickly than I expected.

Tuck is a superior player...if she hadn't been injured, she had a good chance to be first off the bench...

49-45. Go, 'Cuse!

 

[BJLfromBK]

ND shooting twice the amount of FTs. Sounds about right. Odd, I didnt see them at the Oscars the other night

Meanwhile, our Kelly has 8 rebounds. 6 away from 750.

Alexander having a great game...

ND up, likely will win. Diggins and McBride have 38 of their 49.

As long as ND is able to get to the Free Throw line as often as they do, they're hard to beat. Diggins & McBride shot all 13 FT's ND shot in the 1st half. The only game they didn't go to the line more often then their opponent was the Baylor game, which they lost. Most games they shoot 12 or more free throws then their opponents.

Free throw differential is why they have had so much success against UConn recently. Muffett is running an offense that takes advantages of the skills the players have. I also think she's recruiting for that as well. Jewell Loyd fits the mode.

Wow, a freshman using glass on a midrange jumper.....!!

 

[OneTrickPony]

Moriah...money off the jump stop...keep shooting that young lady!

 

[VAMike23]

Prime example of why we have so many turnovers on entry passes. We don't recognize them when they're there! Only a second or two later!

Bria wide open on a nice flare to the block, KML with no impediments, missed her. (Good thing she didn't pass it *late*, but I'm just referring to the missed opportunity which was there initially.)

Stewie for 2ieee

Please don't shoot her.

String music.

 

[BJLfromBK]

sometimes I think stewart misses close shots to pad her rebounding stats

 

[Samanthabrown3]

53-25, 11 and change

 

[MilfordHusky]

We're winning the second half, 14-12. Are you kidding me?

 

[OneTrickPony]

Kiesel having a nice game, but trying to drive on Stef and Breanna...?

 

[Samanthabrown3]

29% 3-point shooting? What is this??

 

[BJLfromBK]

and just like that 60-49 nd

She watched Tina growing up.

I predicted 28 for Pitt. Let's press them!

McBride cranking it up and nice D...

 

[OneTrickPony]

KML with the smooth hook...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Kelly and Kaleena both have 9 points and 8 rebounds. They both had 18 points on Saturday and scored their 1,000th career point. This is starting to get a little eerie.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Stewie has 4 assists. Is that a career high?

Almost as if they were separated at birth

More than willing to be a little creeped out of they duplicate each others stats every night. Two KMLs or two Faris' ... I'm fine either way
