Finally was allowed by WatchEspn to see the game --- interesting --- a microcosm of what Muffet's been trying to deal with. I'm going to blather on a bit on this one, as more went on here than the tv people seemed aware --- sorry for the excess wordage.
At the beginning of the game we were down 12-8, all due to their threes. Muffet had surely coached them precisely against this, but they failed her. The first three was Westbeld's fault {slow-minded on filling area}. Then Mabrey did the same thing. Poor communication of some kind between Mabrey and Allen caused the next one, and then the only legitimate three came from way downtown under big heat from Maddy. Muffet was frustrated with Westbeld and Mabrey and got them both out of there.
What she did was, as usual, brilliant. She brought in our stranglers. Mychal, Hannah, along with the three AAs wiped Miami out, and we went 8-0 and into control. The Miami coach saw it and called time-out. Too bad. That TO got Muffet to rest some of the stranglers and go with the kids. They immediately screwed up and allowed the fifth three. A bad shot by Arike got her butt on the bench, and MJ back in. Muffet threw a "junk" at them [what she calls her gimmick defenses] and Mychal went "in your shorts" with the Miami star in a box-and-one. We left the first quarter up 23-19.
Coach never went back to the stranglers --- maybe she's trying to hide that doomsday defense a bit for future use. She did use junk twice more in the second period, but the offensive strategy of over-emphasizing just one kind of offense [Brianna every time] got the rest of us too stagnant. We led at the half only 39-38, due to two three point giveaways by slow play by the Mabreys. EIGHT three pointers given up. Muffet must have been furious.
We got behind in the third period due to bad offense by Kate and Michaela. Muffet pulled them. In came Mychal and Hannah, but not quite the stranglers, as Coach decided to rest Brianna then. Mychal had three defensive stops in a row, plus a three pointer, and this plus an active zone got us to pull away to 59-51 from the 44-47 deficit.
In the fourth it was mainly man-to-man, very active and mostly effective --- no more threes. Lindsay's fourth foul brought a serious on-the-job Michaela on with the remaining four stranglers and they couldn't close the score on us. Hannah played a lot down the stretch, as Muffet didn't want to risk any drama. We win 78-67.
The commentator said that she thought that Muffet had squeezed as much out of this team as was possible; we were playing close to our reasonable ceiling; and Notre Dame will have to keep doing what it's doing --- finding ways to win with great veterans, some all-around, some role players, and get through the youngsters' growing pains. I believe that this is exactly right, and Muffet is Coach-of-the-Year nationally.

SYR UPSETS LOUISVILLE 80-75
SYR UPSETS LOUISVILLE 80-75
Orange had a big first quarter, 21-14. Cards got a point back in the second quarter. UL outscored SYR 29-23 in the third quarter to even the score. Orange took the 4th quarter 18-13 for the 5 point win.
Syracuse vs. Louisville - Box Score - March 5, 2016 - ESPN
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Syracuse attacked Louisville from the start, had the composure to make big plays late in a tight game and even got a boost from a senior's career-best performance off the bench.
Now the No. 17 Orange are headed to the championship game of the Atlantic Coast Conference women's tournament.
Cornelia Fondren matched her career high of 18 points and set a career high with 13 rebounds to help Syracuse beat No. 7 Louisville 80-75 in the semifinals Saturday, earning the program's third ever appearance in a conference tournament championship game.
Alexis Peterson scored 19 points to lead the third-seeded Orange (25-6), who outlasted the second-seeded Cardinals (25-7) to earn a date with No. 2 Notre Dame on Sunday.
"If we play hard, no one can beat us," Fondren said. "Sorry to say, but if we compete at a high level, no one can stop us. You never know who's going to have a big game. You've seen that throughout the year. People dominate games and you never know who might show up at any point."
She illustrated that point herself. The 5-foot-8 senior and two-year starter came in averaging 6.5 points and 5.5 rebounds off the bench and was shooting 60 percent at the foul line, but knocked down two critical free throws with 18.1 seconds left for a 78-75 lead.
"That's one thing I just try to tell her: If you can just play your role and be a star in your role and come off the bench and play any position that I put you in for, we're going to be successful," coach Quintin Hillsman said. "That's what she does. She comes in every night and she plays tough."
Syracuse's other two appearances in conference tournament finals came when it won the 1985 Big East title, then lost in the 1988 Big East final, according to STATS. The Orange lost in the quarterfinals two years ago in their first ACC tournament, then in last season's second round.
But they got plenty of contributions to get through this one. After Briahanna Jackson missed a tying 3-pointer, senior Brianna Butler -- who battled foul trouble but came up with two huge late-game shots -- hit clinching free throws with 5.5 seconds left.
ACC player of the year Myisha Hines-Allen had 27 points and 12 rebounds for Louisville, which was in a conference semifinal for the fourth straight season dating to its time in the Big East.
But the Cardinals fell behind by 12 in the first half and spent much of the day trying to catch up, though the teams entered the final quarter tied at 62.
"They attacked us from the get-go," Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "Unfortunately, we did not come out and play like I thought we would. We did not follow a scouting report, and unfortunately, we're not good enough to just come out and play without following a scout."
TIP-INS
Syracuse: Syracuse scored 21 points off turnovers. The Orange made just 6 of 27 3-pointers (22 percent). Syracuse had four players in double figures and 19 second-chance points.
Louisville: Freshman Asia Durr scored a season-high 23 points. . No. 2 scorer Mariya Moore went scoreless on 0-for-6 shooting a day after a rough performance against Georgia Tech in the quarterfinals. . Louisville committed 16 turnovers. ... Jackson scored 18.
BUTLER'S SURGE
Butler, Syracuse's No. 2 scorer at 14.5 points, picked up her fourth foul with 6:11 left in the third quarter. But she came up big late, first by hitting a 3-pointer after Louisville had pushed to a 73-69 lead.
Then, after a pair of go-ahead free throws from Fondren, she hit a jumper to push the lead to 76-73 near the 2-minute mark. She finished with 12 points.

Notre Dame is such a balanced team. Last year, they always looked at Jewel to make the clutch shots; this year, they can rely on 3 or 4 players to hit a clutch shot. Mychal Johnson's recent play is going to help a lot. She has always been a solid defender, but if she can score about 10 points a game in March then it just makes Muffet's team more dangerous.
Notre Dame handled Syracuse 90-62 on January 21st. I'm going to expect a score of 80-65
