i also remember Muffett Mcgraw winning a national championship with like 7 players because of ACL injuries.

I do know her team has been hit with injuries but like with Brunelle something seems off. Maybe doesn’t fit her style as much as muffett although i am pretty sure she was in on recruiting her too.

With Ali Pattberg, Danielle Patterson, and Jordan Nixon all transferring that was some help she could have used!

Ali Pattberg ACL ACL, Patterson was overrated was not seeing any time on the floor so you can cancel her out, And Nixon did not fit there system so she moved on. So we are back to square one they have no post players due to injury. Be careful the lady Vols have there own share of injuries.

Kellie was the correct hire and i agree we you but remember Ivey has three players out for the season and no post player. 5-11 Jr guard Katlyn Gilbert, Fr 6-3 Amirah Abdur-Rahim, 6-5 Fr Natalija Marshall. I would add 6-3 Sr Mikayla Vaughn to that list because she is pretty much a day to day player. She has battle a knee injury from her Freshmen year at ND ACL 2 or 3. And like everyone else you are entitled to your opinion and we all agree to disagree. Like i said KJH has the lady vols going in the right direction.

I was high on Niele, Banghart(sp) and Lawson. But Kellie was the right coach for us at the right time. That doesn’t mean the other three won’t be very good coachs as well. Glad to see the quality of coaches going up for the women.

What I wonder about Brunell is why having played 333 minutes this season she hasn't taken one foul shot not one she is 0 for 0 from the line and Notre Dame has a problem of getting to the line very many times as a team. I figure they are on their way back need some players that can give them an inside game. They do have some capable shooters but their games are mostly perimeter not much ability for any of the current starters or bench to score inside.

Yes. I noticed that too. An astonishing statistic really. Just means she’s not being aggressive at all. With her height and current frame she could do a lot of damage on the block against smaller defenders. As well as she shoots you’d think she’d be trying to get there frequently.

I under stand and let`s be careful not to drag the other two coaches down, Right now we the lady vols have weapons on the wing and post and ND and UNC don`t have that right now. But if you ask me UNC is very close and will have that next year as should ND. I did notice yesterday in the UNC NC ST game UNC benched there top recruit pg Deja Kelly and move the other fr pg Todd-Williams,Kennedy into the lineup plus she is a better shooter.

Casual observation to me is that ND is severely lacking inside players. Vaughn has been injury plagued, Cosgrove took the season off, and the freshman is injured. I don't know if they even have a backup post player. When Muffet had her back to back title game runs, she may have been short on post players, but the two she did have were AA caliber ones

This is facts. My point was even with lack of depth she made things happen. This wasn’t a knock on Ivey but i’m still glad Kellie is here like i’m sure ND is glad with Ivey.

This is true but like i said those players would have helped them even if it was just depth or experience which would have been valuable in these close losses.

We def have some injury issues but that’s why i’m glad Kellie played her reserve players when she did even though it drove us crazy.

Simply chose the wrong program imo, always felt ND wasn't the team for her style of play and felt IND isn't either. She was always a free lance type 4 player that was allowed to create for herself, ND and IND doesn't allow that, their 4's are required to play within their system.

The wolves have been coming for Banghart (she earned an temporary reprieve with her win against NC State) and Ivey among their fanbases. Some ND fans are criticizing their AD for a head coach who has never been a head coach and allowing Muffet to choose her successor when other successful ND coaches didn't. Some UNC fans are criticizing their AD for hiring a head coach who never played or coached on the P5 level and they don't believe her system will succeed in the ACC like it did in the Ivy League.

Well you know what UNC and Banghart have put together a top 5-10 recruiting class now two years in a row. Now if she can`t get it done next year then UNC fans need to start calling for a new coach.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend....
What if they are both my enemy?
Who's a friend?
Who's wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?

I hope SC slaps UConn into next week.

Paige struggled against Tennessee's length. She should have an encore tonight with Brea Beal and Lele Grisette draped all over her like a cheap suit.

Boston not even noticing that ONO is there.

Williams 0-6 on threes.

Poor Evina trying to guard/rebound against Saxton/Amihere (good luck with that).

SC 72 UConn 59
