Broke them down on their own court. Well done Irish! Great analysis. Totally agree. Hidalgo and Miles will get the attention (as they should), but Citron came up huge on defense
Haha both teams looked rusty initially but that soon changed. ND’s backcourt looked awesome especially Hannah Hadalgo. And her backcourt partner Olivia Miles was very good too especially from the three point line where she went 4 of 5. So many of ND’s bigs were good to very good. USC shot it poorly. Kiki I was struggled a lot and was just too timid and really got manhandled by ND Bigs in general. Juju was a lot better in the second half but she was generally off her game especially in the first half. I was impressed with ND and do look forward to their matchup vs UCONN on 12-12-2024.
I was wrong about the score of the game. But now I got my answers on can Hidalgo and Miles exist together and that answer is yes. NOTRE DANE is going to be a tough out in tournaments, as for USC they will figure things out.
The big question for me is, is Notre Dame that good or is USC overrated? Ju Ju Watkins is a hot dog who forces a lot of bad shots rather than look to pass to an open teammate. At best, she is average from beyond the arc. Talia Von Oelhoffen is inconsistent. She runs hot and cold, so you never know from one game to the next how she will perform. I don't know what Iriafen's excuse was. Maybe she just had an off night. It could be that Hidalgo and Miles are really just that good. Time will tell.
TVO looked horrible. She was inconsistent and didn’t help anything. Kiki was just timid and was certainly not looking like a second overall pick. Juju needs to learn how to become a better playmaker and to start facilitating. You can’t say enough about Hannah. She is such a defensive menace is mind blowing. Olivia is looking like the second overall pick especially now that she added the 3 to her bag. Even tho she didn’t contribute a ton offensively, Sonia Citron was incredible on defense and the box score won’t show that. Overall, great game for ND. USC needs to make some changes if they wanna get to contending. Also I was disappointed by Gottliebs performance.
Agree with every single point. I couldn’t believe Iriafen looked so timid and ineffective against ND freshman big girl. Maybe Kiki is still finding her place in the team chemistry.
I KNEW Miles and Hidalgo would play well together. I think ND looks like the number 2 team in the country, but let’s see them play TCU, they may stumble… Juju is still a great player obviously, but I lost a little respect for her at the end when she was stat padding, scoring 8 points when in the last 2 minutes to make her numbers look respectable. Like girl we saw you were 6-19 when it mattered, it’s ok, it happens. USC has a deep bench with a bunch of 5 star freshmen, why weren’t they allowed to play when down by 20? I blame the coach for that. Speaking of the coach, Ivey completely outcoached her.
ESPN/Disney was pushing Watkins as the face of WCBB this week. Meh. Holy smokes, if Miles' 3pt fg% holds up she oughtta be the first pick in the WNBA draft.
I told you Notre Dame would whip USC's butt and they will do the same to Uconn 😅 Notre Dame or Texas deserves that #2 spot. Move Uconn and USC to 10 ot lower😅

USC beat themselves
Well done for Notre Dame but we all know the best team in the league is South Carolina gamecocks
It’s LEE-AH-2 not luh-2-eee. Her teammates call her Tu.

You hit all the good points 🫣👌🏾
Juju is still only a 19 year old sophomore who still has lots of time in college, so I haven’t lost faith in her just yet.
Kiki on the other hand….

It was literally juju vs Notre Dame. USC has nobody to rely on if juju is shut down. The loss was not on juju
JuJu took most of the shots

JuJu Watkins is the most OVER-RATED player in sports.
JuJu is a volume shooter, takes an enormous amount of shots, NOT efficient.
