What a difference a year makes....

The same player that made an utterly impossible contested fade away rainmaker from 24 feet to snatch the NC from us last missed a foul shot to lose one this year. Sports can be cruel.

Hard to feel sorry for her, seeing how she has a title in her back pocket. I feel more sorry for the Arkansas second baseman, and the Auburn guy that missed that free throw. Talk about cruel.

However, as far as teams and fans go, screw both Arkansas and Auburn.

No sympathy here. Except for us. Why couldn't she miss the shot last year? A shot she should have never gotten because Morgan William was trucked at half court no call.

It was doubly sweet. She missed the first free throw, and then tried to intentionally miss the second, and swished it through. She’s an intense player, but I haven’t cared for her due to her near constant flops and aggressive style that should more often than not warrant an offensive foul, but usually gets whistled on the defensive player.

I have no dislike for the girl, but I did get some enjoyment out of that. Don’t recall ever seeing a player hang her head after a MADE free throw. When she made the second one, the game was basically over and she knew it.

The no foul call on William will haunt us forever. That moreso than the ND shot that won it. Even if she had missed the shot we weren't guaranteed to win. It would have gone to OT. Had the foul been called against ND though on William we would have been shooting FTs to take the lead with just a few seconds left and William was our best FT shooter. That may be as close to a team NC as I ever see for MSU.

17 her and 17 ND in general, they have always been ******** going back to the Catholics vs Convicts ****. The girl is a flopper and a whiner, for that reason 17 her. In the words of the Chappell’s Show “I hope all the bad things in life happen to her, and her alone”.

Totally agree

We never should have blown the 15 point lead or whatever it was

Screw ND women's basketball. That same girl was playing that fouled Williams and laughed afterwards. Glad they lost like that. Poetic Justice.

I doubt she’s looking for much sympathy. Declared for the WNBA draft today. Expected to be picked 2nd on Wednesday.

I would say her career at Notre Dame worked out well for her.

And she has a national title. She won't get rich in the WNBA though. Projected salary for the #2 pick is $53,537. I guess she's just tired of school.

ND women are like Missouri women. They are dirty players. I've seen Arike intentionally trip a player.

Many WNBA players make more money playing overseas in the “off-season”.

If she can pull down $150K playing basketball her first year out, that’s a better gig than many of her classmates. Even at ND.

I remember last year, as soon as she got the ball at the end of the game, I told my wife “that’s good” before she even released the ball. It was THE most predictable moment I’ve ever had as a fan. Just an awful feeling.

Not a bad living at all. But it's a grueling schedule playing 2 full seasons every year, and there's a lot of expenses involved in living in a foreign country half the year.

It is common for Amercian players to have their living expenses covered overseas and pay no tax on their salaries.

It doesn’t really haunt me much. That same shot was going to be there for Ogunbawale at the end of regulation either way....even if they called the foul and William made both free throws. And actually, ND would have had even more time on the clock to get that shot if they called the foul. And we still would have lost because she just wasn’t missing if we gave her a shot to win at the end. She owned that tournament. Sometimes in all sports, elite players get in a zone and there is just nothing you can do to stop them. Our fate was sealed when we blew the big lead.
