Have a hard time seeing them in the Top 16 unless they win the ACC tournament, and even that might not be enough.

They (Charley Creme )were projecting us as a five seed before the game today. Creme is to the women’s game what Lunardi is to the men’s.

Watched the end of the game. Notre Dame had a great shot to win. BUT ... (and I hate to gripe in a close loss, but I can't help the following observation): ND was down by two points with about 50+ seconds left and the ball. Hannah had been REAL hot. We have time out in order to plan this final minute. No commentator said it (I think that they chickened out on saying anything "not nice"), but this was the classic two-for-one situation. Get a shot within the first, say, 15 seconds, and even if you miss and they get the rebound (worse case scenario) you have extended the game and your chances. Instead Ivey tells Hannah to dribble out as much of the shot clock as possible shortening the game. We miss but get the ball again. Ivey STILL has Hannah dribbling out the clock, leaving us with a Climax Win or Lose situation. Neither of our last two "planned" shots have Hannah taking them (the first dribbling act goes to Bransford; second dribbling act goes to a Prosper shot -- Hannah gets a desperation 3 scramble heave in the midst of the chaos.)

Watching that clock wasting crap go on, I was shouting "Moron! MORON!!" at the bench. Yeh, we COULD have made the one shot planned for, but WHY NOT GET MORE PLANNED Possessions and extend the chances?

Muffet was there to comment after the game. She quietly held her comments to NDs 3rd quarter rally and the good play of Duke.
