WBB ... ND vs Duke

[IrishHerb]

Duke leading after 1st quarter.

ND girls gotta get their game together. Play D, rebound, ...

they played better toward the half but need to stop missing so many open shots. arike frustrates me so bad because she is our vj beachem when it comes to having so many games where she just puts a lot of junk that doesn't go in

 

[coolirish9]

rebounding really well in the second half was a huge key in a win against a very good duke team

 

[IrishHerb]

9 point lead towards end of game ... then got sloppy and almost blew it.

Glad they won, 62-58.

Agree with Coolirish9 ... too many missed layups, cutbacks, etc. And Ogunbowale forces a ton of shots ... sometimes they go in, other times they don't.

Floor sense and passing of this year's team leaves much to be desired. Often there is an open girl, but the one with the ball simply misses her until its too late.

Westbeld had a good game helping Turner with rebounding . Did not see game , it was a low scoring game for ND who usually scores around 80 . Did Duke slow the game down? I . Poor shooting ? Taking bad shots? Arike gets out of control here and there . Turner seems like the only constant . Mabrey has some good shooting nights then her shooting sometimes goes south. 1 for 8 three point against Duke

Notre. Dame is a very good team . Maybe just maybe they can really make some waves at NCAA time

it was a little bit what you said above and some other things that made it a low scoring game.both teams had stretches where they couldn't buy a bucket and both teams also blocked a lot of the other teams shots

Watched the game on TV. ND scoring 80+ points against a defense that had been allowing an average of 50 was nice to see.

A quality big girl besides Turner is still a concern. When ND had to use Nelson while Turner was benched with 2 fouls, the team didn't seem to work as well.
