'14 WBB NCAA Tournament

[BGIF]

ND down 6

 

[BGIF]

A POY play by Stewart.

 

[BGIF]

ND's closing the reb count 14-17 but only hitting 38% to UCon's 58%.

 

[dad4aa]

We aren't playing great but these refs are not very good.

 

[dad4aa]

...and I cannot stand the female announcer!!!

 

[BGIF]

Loyd's second bucket cuts it to 7

 

[Irish#1]

UConn is just too big inside. Need to find a way to keep them off the boards.

 

[notredomer23]

Honestly down 7 doesn't feel that horrible. That could have been a lot worse.

 

[aubeirish]

Too bad this is not hockey, I would have a few tricks on how to stop Stewart . Boy she is just so good. I like the way the Irish settled down and came back in this game. It could be a lot worse right now. They were so nervous a little while. We are usually a pretty good second half team, but so are they I guess. Hoping for the best here.

Yea. She is the worse.

Surprisingly UCON is only 2 rebs ahead and OFF rebs are tied.

They've got 16 assists to ND's 10. and lead blocks 5-1.

 

[BGIF]

KMac and Mabrey are 10-16 from the floor. The rest of the team is 5-19. Loyd 3-9.

Reimer/Wright have 2 pts and 3 Rebs.

Honestly might gotta go old school bad boy Pistons or the 92 Knicks-Bulls physical to win this one. Get some HARD fouls and rough them up, and make it clear that they are not getting in the paint.

You really wanna play hard ball/old school against Dolson, Lewis and Stewart?

 

[BGIF]

Hartley has 3 PFs. Nobody else has two.

Honestly the only difference in this game is that UConn jumps when they rebound and defend the rim.

 

[BGIF]

UCon pulling away. They had 6 more shots than ND so far this half and ND is only 1-4.

 

[BGIF]

Uh, ND is 16-39, 41% while UCon is 26-48, 54%

 

[loomis41973]

Just not big enough inside

 

[gkIrish]

Uh, ND is 16-39, 41% while UCon is 26-48, 54%

You are making my point....UConn is getting all kinds of offensive putbacks (which helps their shooting percentage plus they have 9 extra shots)...and ND is getting blocked at the rim.

All because UConn is jumping. It sounds silly but if you watch the game ND bigs are barely getting off the ground.

 

[aubeirish]

UConn's defense is simply elite. No other words for it.

 

[no.1IrishFan]

That play where we get in front of #30 down low and then they just toss it over our defender for a wide open layup is getting old. I understand there is a height mismatch but at least get between her and the basket to contest the shot.

 

[dad4aa]

Can't even make a layup...smh

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I forgot how bad the talent drop off is between men and women's basketball.

This is bad.

 

[aubeirish]

I feel for this team. They have been so tough all year, and this is just the worse possible scenario unfolding before our eyes. They make all these shots usually. Damn.

not to mention how hard that makes it to get a defensive rebound.......
