they had the easiest path to this game tonite than anybody....next yr, if they make the 16, they'll play their 4 first games at Eugene or Portland....
pac 12 will be stronger next year...they better not try to live on their reputation or a single player...Oregon state found out that rep means nothing..
very boring game imo....

| When I heard the part about Graves apparently saying "Let's make Westbeld beat us." I just laughed. The main reason she doesn't score as much is because the others are Agunbowale, Mabrey, Young, and Shepard. It's not that she can't score. It's just that there are so many other options.

She got 20 on 75% shooting and 7 boards. Guess he got what he wanted.

It's kind of trite to say this, but I think this loss should help Oregon over the next couple of years. I hope they spend a lot of time breaking down the video and come to a better understanding of what they need to do to be a really top team, not just be close to a top team. Kelly make it happen!
Also, wanna give a shout out to Bando who really helped her team as the lone senior who got minutes. They will miss her corner threes and her hustle. Best wishes to her as she goes out into the big, bad world.

| Oregon not making the final four next season would be a huge disappointment...I honestly thought they were going to win this game.

I wouldn't be surprised if Oregon ended up a #1 seed and in the Final Four next year. I also agree that Oregon will learn from this. They are a young team after all. They just need to work more on their defense.

What would make you think that?
I can understand a fan hoping they would win, but what evidence or track record would have led you to objectively conclude they were likely to win?
ND's injury-shortened bench is the only thing I can think of that might have supported such a conclusion.

Yeah, If Warlick had the players that chose UConn Tenn's offense would look just as polished as UConn's looked last night.
And if those same players had chosen Notre Dame then the Irish would have had the top defensive team in the country.

ND killed on the boards, a +22
More effort and some lucky bounces went their way.
Mabrey out-rebounded Ionescu, which is unheard of.

Is there anything about ND that you won't bitch about?
It's really getting old. |
There's a lot about N Dame I admire but their fans here already do a real good job of promoting those attributes.
I'd have to go back and read the posts but I think I was responding to a post that blamed the wrong person for the incident. As a matter of fact even the play by play announcers initially suggested that Mabrey was the victim until the correct angle replay CLEARLY showed Mabrey with her right hand firmly grasping Ionescu's arm as Ionescu went by her.

1.Elite PG
2.Elite post player
3.As you mentioned,the depleted ND roster.
The Irish only played 6 players.Oregon didn't push the tempo like I thought they would.Of course,it's hard to increase the pace when you're giving up offensive rebounds and taking the ball out of the net.The Oregon HC should have done a better job of getting Hebard more touches.I understand ND was sagging down and forcing the rest of the Oregon players to beat them.But 12 shot attempts for Hebard in that big of a game isn't enough.

Yeah...19-6 on the offensive boards.That's 13 extra shots.Rebounding,3 pt shooting(4-15),and Westbeld beat Oregon...And despite all of that,Oregon still could have won this game had Ionescu not gone cold in the 2nd half.

| Oregon had no Answer for shephard and they could not keep Jackie off the glass. Comes down to Notre Dame just having more elite level athletes than oregon.

1 Oregon certainly has one elite guard, but I'm not sure I'd call her an elite POINT guard. And ND certainly had a superior SET of guards.
2 I can't agree at all with that characterization, and no matter how you choose to overrate her, she was still not as good as Shepard, which should have been obvious before the game started.
