| I voted for Conn, but I believe Notre Dame will be very competitive in this game.

Ditto.
In theory, UConn has a post height advantage that should allow them to dominate the paint against ND, but "dominate" is not a word that attaches well or often to UConn post players so far this season. |

| ooh, ooh, a fun one so far. I do notice that Ododa gets away with a LOT of fouling inside. Just subtle or not-so-subtle little pushes here and there.

Idk, maybe. I feel like this is true of all post players to an extent. It's a hard area for refs to keep consistent throughout the game. The first few possessions are usually clean, but then the pushing escalates back and forth to the point where a foul finally has to be called. As long as the fouls are distributed evenly in the case that the physicality is more or less the same from both teams, I'm fine with it personally.
ONO is playing very well today!
Mabrey needs to dribble less.

And she just got away with another one! He just said that UCONN already had nine turnovers!

| I said it before and I'll say it again, the ACC needs to get ND this year, because you're not getting them for a bit. They're good. And Citron is an absolute stud.

I liked the one where she turned around and elbowed Dodson in the chest, then Dodson got the foul.

She looks like she's 12 years old!!!
So that means that ND gets to keep her for 10 years, right?

| she looks older than Park-Lane (seton hall) so you only get her for 8 years.

| Citron doesn't look that young to me -- I think it's just her build as a big strong guard.

ND just hasn't been able to knock down the shots. UConn's defense doing a good job of not giving up anything too easy, but ND has still had some decent looks that they just haven't made at a high enough % to keep pace with UConn... well, to keep pace with Bueckers mostly.
Speaking of which, Bueckers just went down hard going for that rebound. But didn't she kinda jump right into Dodson's arm? lol.

Her profile pic doesn't look young, but with her hair pulled back she looks different.
