This may be a blood bath. Ciani Cryor had a huge game in the first meeting at South Bend back on Dec. 30th. She didn't even play this past Sunday at Clemson. Is she in the doghouse or injured or what?

Tech did well in the 1Q and made a huge comeback with one of the better spurts of ball they've played all year in the final 3 minutes of the 3Q and much of the 4Q at South Bend to stay within a respectable final margin of 9 pts in the loss to the Irish in that game.

ND took 26 3-pointers and all but 2 or 3 were wide open looks. They hit 11 but it seemed like Mabry & Cable (who combined for 8) made 28...by halftime.

Hopefully, the Lady J's can stay in the game and at least make the 2nd half interesting.

Seems to me we are going in a different direction than they are. Clemson was a woeful bunch. Sounds like doom and gloom, but just my own feelings/observations.

Guessing the doghouse for Crying and Fortunes, I meant Cryor and Fortune.

An ugly first half and that's to our advantage. The uglier this game is, the better. If you had told me before the game that we'd be down 6 points and the Irish would only score 26 pts, I would've taken it without question.

Hopefully we can withstand the run that we all know is coming in the 3Q after CMM rips her team in the dressing room.

Good spark off the bench from Simi

Yes. That came from farther out than left field. Great to see.

We played at home. They had 14 TO's, shot 39%, 10-24 FT's. Cable only had 3 pts. You would think holding them to 54 pts.- - -and we get 8 points in the 4th quarter.

Last time we scored fewer points in a game than 42 last night was Nov. 25, 2011, in a 59-40 loss to Rutgers in San Juan, PR. Of course, that Lady J's team went on to a 12-4 ACC regular season record, runner-up in a 3-pt loss to Maryland in the ACCCG, and advanced to Tech's only Sweet 16 appearance...something we may never see again.
