Notre Dame had a three pronged attack with help from King. Uconn had a two pronged attack with less help. They need Fudd and Griffin back to be a serious contender.
Typical G. Yes, he needs more balanced scoring (as everyone does), but the reason he didn't score as much was ND defense and inferior UConn rebounding, especially the 1st half. He has scorers, and they were off tonight. Live by the jump shot and die by it. Some very skilled players on both teams, not just the two stars. Enjoyable to watch.
All team rankings are not accurate at this time. We could have won this game if we didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot AGAIN….but this was a great test for these UConn players. Learn to be aggressive and FINISH your shots! ICE and ARNOLD need to keep taking quality shots. Arnold dribbles WAY too much before she attacks the basket! Shade needs to become a 3 point assassin to help Paige! Don’t wait for Azzi to come back! Keep taking the midrange jumpers too. Everyone was standing around waiting for Paige to score! Strong is a God Sent! What is amazing is Paige had 25 quiet points while Hidalgo advertised every shot she made. Hidalgo is a baller unfortunately. Paige needs help like the Louisville game! We need the bench to step up! Good learning loss. (Hopefully!)
Turnovers, no rebounding, Strong was useless at times, terrible defense, Fudd injured again, Shade and Brady not factors! I could go on-and-on! Very poor performance by UCONN, they have to play much better, and they will!
Really disappointing post game interview …. UCONN got beat … they didn’t just lose … and where are players for post game. Credit to ND win or lose they represent
It's December, what was actually at stake? Notre Dame lost two games to teams some would say they should've won. This fact, shows how many good teams there are. Whatt Geno said is correct, "nobody is unbeatable."
ND defense was the reason they won. They didn't let UCONN get their hands on the ball. Many times it looked like ND just ripped the ball out of their hands. Terrific defense on their part...don't let UCONN touch the ball.
UCONN will be where they need to be in March. Azzi has to stay healthy, Brady and El Alfy need to provide consistent inside physical presence, rebounding and scoring. Sarah Strong is just fine, bring Cheli in to provide more three point shooting off the bench. ND isn't that much better, but UCONN players have to play up to the UCONN standard. They didn't last night.
Paige is passive. She doesn't have the drive and confidence like Caitlin, Hannah, Flaujae. Geno, you went downhill after you ran your mouth about Caitlin.
Ashlynn Shade need to go to bench, KK Arnold need to play more minutes. Azzi Fudd needs to get healthy and stay healthy, because "AS" isn't half the player Azzi is.
El Alfy and Brady either had a bad game or more likely are not that good. Not expecting much from them in key games. Can Paige, Strong and a healthy Fudd lead them to a championship? Probably not. Gino is right they need more contributions from the rest of the team
UCONN had 4 players in double figures... ND had 3 players in double figures... UCONN had 6 players who scored at least 4 points... ND had 6 players who scored at least 4 points... UCONN had 7 players play at least 10 mins... ND had 7 players play at least 10 mins...
You don't hear me criticize Coach A. often, but UConn's offensive game offers few open shots for Paige, who has to work hard to get one. By contrast, Hanna Hidalgo and her teammates have had plenty. And do we want to talk about the rebounds granted to the opponents?
Its early in the season they were on the road . Give it time

Hannah Hidalgo was sensational in the game. She was the best player on the floor. An incredible player!

Couldn’t make 3’s & too many offensive rebounds given up.😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳🏀
Geno keeping it real. I was surprised with offense tonight. The other women were doing so good contributing to scoring in other games
I wonder what happened to Shade?
She dissappears in big games.
Lacks confidence
Turnovers, no rebounding, Strong was useless at times, terrible defense, Fudd injured again, Shade and Brady not factors! I could go on-and-on! Very poor performance by UCONN, they have to play much better, and they will!
Strong played well considering her foul trouble. She is a freshman. In March nobody is going to be able to guard her.

He didn’t mention Strong she was hooping
ND defense was the reason they won. They didn't let UCONN get their hands on the ball. Many times it looked like ND just ripped the ball out of their hands. Terrific defense on their part...don't let UCONN touch the ball.
Not making threes hurt Paige is fantastic
Is it March yet? The only thing that was won in this game was bragging rights. Bleed Blue!
This team isn't as good as the media is making them out 4 teams better than them!
UCONN will be where they need to be in March. Azzi has to stay healthy, Brady and El Alfy need to provide consistent inside physical presence, rebounding and scoring.

Again he's correct. More offence from all players.
UCONN had 4 players in double figures...
ND had 3 players in double figures...
UCONN had 6 players who scored at least 4 points...
ND had 6 players who scored at least 4 points...
UCONN had 7 players play at least 10 mins...

And do we want to talk about the rebounds granted to the opponents?
Paige alright but she not Catylin Clark seems like she doesn’t have that dog in her
Paige is average....she is average...great basketball iq...has a slow first step..
She pedestrian....all the hype she gets....is false
U can't win every game Old man so take it easy before u get a heart attack fr😂
