| The guard matchups are interesting in this one. Does Allen guard Lambert or Brown? Which one of them will defend Allen?

| They just showed Duke tossing medicine balls to each other prior to the game. Never seen that before, can someone explain the benefit? Maybe like during a workout on a non game day, but pre-game? Wouldn't it just make the basketball feel light? But do you want the ball to feel light? Not sure that would help shooting, if anything I'd think it would throw off your shot.

| Duke's bigs had been struggling but back to back baskets from Duke posts make it a 6 point game.

| "Pump fake" doesn't seem to be in Duke's vocabulary.

Notre Dame in the ACC still feels wrong.
That said, their D is looking good which is what Muffet has been emphasizing.
This is a mentally tough Duke team and it should be a good game. They don't get flustered.
Announcers just said Brown needs 30 for Duke to win, but I'm not sure of that. Someone else can have a big night, like Chidom, Odom or Lambert.
Of course, it would be nice if Greenwell gets 30.
18-14.

Why is Odom checking Turner in that match up zone? She's gonna eat her alive.
Duke needs to attack Turner and get her in foul trouble.

| Odom has 2 fouls. Like this triangle and 2 by ND. Duke has too many non scorers in the game.

Same Duke ineptness on offense. And this camera angle is terrible.

Maybe the small arena gives them fewer options in terms of camera angles? I don't know

Duke's offense isn't really the issue right now. Their offense is fine. They need stops on defense.

Not sure I agree, ND is one of the best offenses in the country, hard to see a team keeping them in the 60s. Duke has 27 points with 2 minutes to go before halftime. I think that is a bigger problem. What's a realisic # for Duke to hold ND to in a half, 25-30? Seems low

| The background music is so unnecessary and annoying.

I can handle the camera angle. What I hate is when the crowd noise drowns out the announcers.

Yeah, but sometimes it's just as well to not hear Debbie.

Duke turnover leads to an Allen layup at the buzzer. ND up 43-31.
Brown for Duke has 16. Allen only has 1 foul but hasn't been guarding her, I think that would be a good option in the 2nd half to change things up.

You mean during dead balls? Blame the NCAA for that.
I think that enough people complained at ND that they've stopped it. Makes for a much more pleasant experience.

Especially when she talks about her tape measure.
