Yeah, I just saw that, wow. Notre Dame lost again.

Just a week ago they were looking like Natty contenders. I wonder if TCU gave other teams the blueprint.

They get Texas next week and UConn Dec 12th. Oof.

I’m still worried they’re going to school us in the 4Q like they did last year (coming off a loss to Syracuse), but they still look a lot less put together than I expected. That said, if they lose a straight third to Texas which way is the mood going to be in the lockeroom?

They ironically again play Syracuse before they play UConn. I expect them to breeze by the Orange, but we’ll see.

They're still missing Westbeld and Karlen's experience in the post while starting a freshman (Koval) who really showed her lack of experience the last two games. Playing 3 games back-to-back-to-back like that has to be tough when you only have 7 healthy players available. I think they'll be fine once they get their post depth back, but not sure what the timeline is for either of them.

Florida State is HOOPING right now! I'm really looking forward to Wednesday. Feels like another loooong wait!

Does anyone know Jewel Spear's status? Do y'all think we win this game if she isn't available to play?

@CoachJumper is it too early to start a game thread.

GLV!

I’ve heard Westbeld could be back soon or around start of conference plays for them. No timetable for Karlen right now but should be back at some point this year.

LSU with a 37-0 second quarter against NCCU.
NCCU (0-9 entering today's game), in what I assume is an effort to raise funds, has North Carolina, Florida St., LSU and Tennessee, among others, on their schedule.
Massey has them ranked in the high 400's overall. I'm not sure what benefit a team gets in scheduling NCCU. Maybe playing time for the reserves.

In an historic upset, previously 1-4 Hampton beats Georgia in overtime on a last second, pull up 10 footer, off a fast break. This was after a miss by Georgia with a few seconds left.

Problem for notre dame right now is that they are so beat up with injuries they play literally 6 people maybe 7 and its catching up to them so until they get people back they going to be up and down all year...ik these are young people but nobody can play 40 mins a game every game especially with the schedule they are playing

Interestingly UConn did that for almost the entirety of last year and still made the FF.
