Bits and Pieces

-The Irish women were desperately good for about 25 minutes of last night's 40 minute championship game.  Al Lesar of the South Bend Tribune pretty much sums up what happened with just over 15 minute minutes to play in the 2nd half.

Despite the foul trouble, despite four missed open layups, despite
Griner, Notre Dame trailed by just six at intermission. Five minutes
into the second half, the Irish were down three and possessed the
ball.

Turnover. Odyssey Sims 3-pointer. Look out, the roof's caving in.

 Got to believe that roof did cave in and with all the Irish players inside the house and not being able to do anything about it.  From then on, it was all Baylor and Brittany Griner with more than able help from her fellow players.  That particular turnover was the 4th foul on Devereaux Peters, a hard pick on a screen where she raised her arm and sent the Baylor player to the floor.  Skylar Diggins scored 20 and had her game intact;  But Devereaux Peters, Natalie Novosel (zero for eleven in shooting) and Brittany Mallory were shut down.  That's not good when they were so much a factor in the Irish success.  Hats off to the Baylor team - they just kept coming and coming and coming against the Irish.  Final score: 80-61.

-Thursday Match Play League:  Come on out at 10 tomorrow morning and help get the season underway with the first of the two pre-season scrambles.  We'll run the pre-season scramble concurrently with a Thursday Morning Scramble - each is optional and players do not have to play their pre-season scramble tomorrow at 10 (anytime during the week, Sunday through Saturday).

-Another good day for golf.
