The "undefeated" meet tonight in Nashville for the National Championship. The heavily favored 39 - 0 UCONN Huskies take on our 37 - 0 Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. It's the first time in NCAA history that two undefeated teams have met for a women's basketball National Championship. ESPN is loving this -- they are calling tonight's game
"one of the most anticipated moments in women's sports history..."
The oddsmakers in Vegas have UCONN as a 7 point favorite.
Here's how we beat UCONN -- and it starts early -- before the second media timeout (eight minutes into the game);
- Kayla McBride and Jewell Loyd each hit two of the first four shots they take
- Notre Dame has five offensive rebounds leading to a minimum of 6 points -- conversely, UCONN doesn't have any "second chance points"
- One of UCONN's "big-three" of Stewart, Dolson or Mosqueda-Lewis has 2 fouls and sitting on the bench for the rest of the half.
Muffet made a major point at her press conference yesterday about the "lack of fouls called against UCONN this season." Keep an eye out for this in the first half. Notre Dame must get to the "bonus" free throws before UCONN.
