OT: Wow! Duke over ND

[Blakeon18]

A one seed for ND become a bit shaky.

A one seed for ND become a bit shaky.

No way they get a #1 seed and could under some circumstances fall below the 2 seed they were predicted for. They have lost 3 of their last 5 games.

 

[fomalhaut]

If they weren't on the 1-line already, they have zero chance now. Connecticut should be the only current 2 with a chance to slip in.

USC...after 3 quarters..led Michigan [unranked]....by one point. Mercy me!

Oklahoma and South Carolilna early on ESPN....I think.

Duke won so you can take that bag off.

 

[huskeynut]

This loss will cost ND their 1 seed.

 

[jcoton56]

Kara has em playin well! No real surprise.

 

[BRS24]

This loss will cost ND their 1 seed.

None of the predictions have ND as a #1 seed, unless you were inferring that it might happen with other teams losing?

 

[NEforceUConn]

Seldom happier.

Seldom, not never, because Duke was involved.

I'm not sure if there's a ND fan board like ours...there must be...but if you check it out you will inevitably learn that this is all because the refs "had it in" for ND!

 

[fomalhaut]

I got to like Kara Lawson when she was working games with Rebecca Lobo: neither of them showed any bias for their alma maters.

 

[MSGRET]

There is only one team that I despise more than Tennessee and that's ND. It's Soooooooooooooooo nice to see them go down and even better that it was Duke, Kara did a great job today. PS. congrats to @triaddukefan hope you win the ACC tournament.

Haha! Another laugh out loud moment here. Or is this loss similar to last year’s “nose ring” incident when the refs were blamed?

 

[MooseJaw]

For those familiar with the Big Bang Theory, I say to ND, "There, There", Would you like a warm beverage?

@Triad, are you doing the happy dance?

 

[triaddukefan]

Duke won so you can take that bag off.

5-0 since I've donned the bag.. Including 3 victories over teams that beat us earlier in the season. You gonna have to pry this thing off of me.

@Triad, are you doing the happy dance?

I'm old and my knee aches so I'll just pump my fist a few times.

 

[BRS24]

As much as I don't root for Duke (still having nightmares about MBB), I thoroughly enjoyed watching WBB beat ND. Thankfully this wasn't a "can't they both lose" game, aka, ND vs TN.

For me, Notre Dame is to women's basketball as Duke is to men's basketball. (For those of us who remember the analogies section of the SATs.) Duke women's basketball is a-okay with me!

Ivies substituting was just baffling in this game.

 

[bballnut90]

Pretty much locks in the number 1 seeds as Texas/South Carolina/USC/UCLA. All 4 resumes are so similar.

Games tomorrow should determine order of seeds. If Texas beats LSU and wins tomorrow, they’re going to be #1 overall.

If USC wins, and Texas wins, they’re #2 overall. They’re number 1 if they win and Texas loses.

If both Texas/USC lose, I think UCLA is #1 and South Carolina is #2. I’d think Texas drops to 3 and USC at 4, but who knows. Razor thin line separating the top 4.

UCONN’s locked in as the top #2 seed assuming they win their next 2. NC State/Notre Dame should be locked in for #6/#7. Last #2 could be any of Duke, TCU or LSU.

If LSU wins today and beats SC tomorrow, I think they have a strong argument to jump Notre Dame (and NC State if NC State loses). Odds of that happening seem low though.

As many scorers as ND has they depend on Hildago. When shes not on they struggle. Just like USC and some other teams. SC is really talented but lack a big in the middle that kept them winning the last few seasons and SC does not have a go to player. USC and Texas do have go to players and when theyre not hitting both teams struggle although Texas has a big in Jones and Rory is hot and cold. UConn is the only team and peaking and blowing opponents out and UConn is loaded with shooters/scorers and great D. The committee may not see it that way and thats ok I guess.
