ND's next opponent, FSU, whipped PITT tonight 79-48.

From the Game Summary

INJURIES
Florida State's Shakayla Thomas, who is the team's leading scorer at 15 points per game, was in uniform and took pregame warmups, but the junior forward missed her second straight game due to a left shoulder injury she suffered at Virginia on Feb. 16.

Bet she plays against ND. Like Kat she sat out a game to mend in a game the teammates had in hand.

Boston College vs. Notre Dame - Game Recap - February 23, 2017 - ESPN
AP 2/23/17

Notre Dame forced 22 turnovers and scored 17 points off those takeaways. The Fighting Irish outscored the Eagles in the paint by a 44-14 margin, and they tallied 10 blocked shots to Boston College's one.

Notre Dame held Boston College to just 14 points in the second half, making up for a shaky offensive start to the third quarter in which the Fighting Irish scored just two points across the first five minutes of the period.

"It was ugly," McGraw said about the second half. "We just didn't shoot it well; that makes it look ugly. And we turned it over, which helps to make it look uglier."

Notre Dame shot 45.5 percent for the game but just 35.7 percent in the second half. Boston College shot 25.4 percent for the game.

...

Notre Dame entered Thursday second in the ACC in rebounding margin, at plus-7.4 The fact the Fighting Irish won the rebounding battle against the Eagles by just a 47-44 margin did not sit well with McGraw, who said everyone but Jackie Young (eight rebounds) did a poor job on the glass.

"That's disgraceful," McGraw said of the margin.

MSST got upset Thursday night shaking up bracketology predictions. Creme bumped ND ahead of them and projects this moves ND from the Stockton bracket to Lexington. Creme also moved So Car to Lexington in tandem with ND.

Friday night Texas got upset. After 19 straight wins the Horns have lost 3 close games.

Here's Creme's revised brackets:

So Notre Dame would get screwed over even more? Having to play South Carolina in the Elite 8 and UCONN in the Final Four? If anything, that should keep Notre Dame in the Stockton region

 

[dad4aa]

Don't understand his bracket. He states the loss by Miss St moves them to 4 and ND to 3 overall. If that is true, then ND should not be seeded #1 in the bracket that faces Uconn in the final four. Everyone knows 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 so why did he move ND to that bracket?

 

[aubeirish]

This is a ridiculous bracket. Plenty of time for it to change though.

Check the Note above Creme's brackets:

Note: Regions not reflective of Final Four pairings


I suspect moving ND to Lexington over Stockton is just moving ND closer to home and making MSST take the long trip.

As long as ND and So Car are ranked 2 & 3 they're gonna be on the same side.

According to B&G's Lou Somogyi,

Mychal Johnson, wearing a walking boot on her left leg, is shut down from action until at least tournament time.

[Old Man Mike]

Obviously not good news in any way.

A lot of folks might shrug, but the team needs Mychal's defensive "can-do" attitude. She allows Muffet to try to field a "stopper" team at intervals during games. (This year that would be Lindsay, Jackie, Mychal, Brianna, and .... getting away with Kat if the opposing bigs aren't that good, or Marina if there's a non-driver small.) Koko, Erin, Aly for different reasons can't play it, and Arike won't play it (even if now willing, she has a "lifetime" of non-defensive understanding to overcome until she starts getting it.)

To be able to suddenly field a stopper team can buffoon the opponent not only while they're on the floor, but even after Muffet has gone back to more offense for a while. If Mychal had any confidence shooting the ball, the stopper team would be offensively loaded in its own right ... but she doesn't.
