Agree.I thought it was a very natural reaction to the game from their perspective. Not at all disrespectful.
I can't disagree more. Anyone would be pissed off. Jewell Loyd is a senior now, and her first three seasons all ended at the hands of UConn. When we say that UConn is good for the game, that they force other teams to get better, this is what we mean. Notre Dame (and South Carolina and a few other teams) have a decision right now; they can decide that getting to the final four and playing second fiddle is good enough, or they can decide that this is day one of their next season and rededicate themselves to not having this happen again.Not a very gracious group. They really have an inflated view of themselves.
I agree. Most of them were near tears, said they hate losing to UCONN - 3 times in a row now - and it motivates them to work even harder. Even Muffet said that "we are a better offensive team than we showed, but their defense took us out"...I thought it was a very natural reaction to the game from their perspective.

Cable is a red shirt junior, I believe, so she probably is coming back too. ND has everyone back. Wish we could have KML back. That's going to be a bigger loss than people realize.I agree.

ND really only loses Madison Cable. Turner outplayed Stewie in the 2nd half. We only beat them by 2 points in the 2nd half. They have lots of reasons to be optimistic and confident next year, and I'd guess they will be #2 preseason to UCONN's #1 in November...
Thanks for posting the link. I couldn't find the ND post game interview on the NCAA site. I continue to be impressed by both Loyd and Reimer in their interviews. They could be really likable if they didn't play for ND. Wasn't it a ND player who burst into the UConn locker room, after perhaps the 2001 semi-final loss to them, and shouted "it must suck to be you"?
Hmm. did not know that. Per Doris Burke during the game and the ESPN website, Cable is a senior and will be gone after this year.Cable is a red shirt junior, I believe, so she probably is coming back too.

I think you missed my point.Loyd is a Junior & will be back next year....unless she declares for the WNBA draft. Don't think that's a possibility.
