Gaps in that zone there’s D wolf that’s a great shot gets the roll too after missing a couple of three Clemson’s going to capitalize off of those tough shots in transition are going to lead to buckets and allow them to set up in the offense Notre Dame has to be more
Assertive in transition they’re in the middle of the pack in the ACC and most of those categories have be SE there’s no lack of quality teams in this conference just looking at the standings a few moments ago Marshall Inside swings one two long Bransford and the foul because of

Inside Watson gets it to go great feed by Citron white horn was looking for an option down low there goes the pass from Harris for Robinson but Notre Dame was able to knock it away Citron to Watson in stride for two more that has been a theme at times for
The Irish this year they’ve had some slow starts even at home Citron from the corner adds three more well another quiet scoring start for Hanah Hado with just the two points but obviously has still found a way to make an impact with the beautiful pass right there Clemson answers with a
Corner three of their own as whorn good look by white horn she wanted the elbow jumper that she took before but she P she’s persistent she stayed with it took the next one and it went down for her they’re 14th out of 15 teams in the ACC and turnover March and that’s

Some good contribution was an averaging seven made threes a game fifth in the ACC Watson got a piece of that rebound attempt but couldn’t haul it in and streaking for this easy layup in transition is Amari Robinson set four field goals now in this game her third

The other way defense has to respect her drive every time even though she’s been quiet offensively it’s going to open up more opportunities for other people in the Notre Dame offense here’s West belt again she turns and KN that one out rfer and Marshall back in for Notre
Dame that pass right into the path of Citron she spots at algo this time she won’t miss opportunities away in that aggressive Notre Dame offense and Danielle Rous active hands forces a travel on Bransford well if you’re Clemson right now you have to feel this game starting
To slip away when they can get back in and if they hit shots like that steal number two for Hannah hadalo who averages five a game and Coach iy credited her with really turning around the effort of the AME defense helping him become one of the best units in the country when it
Comes to forcing turnovers she pesters again and gets it away again skips it ahead to Wolf to more do go quickly establishing a reputation as one of the best defenders in all of college basketball it comes to forcing turnovers and getting two more off had a technical foul few moments ago
On the Tigers Ruby whorn as Harris gets some space and she knocks down that jumper and let it fuel you let it motivate you the right way five to shoot for Bransford low post Watson up and in see Hado trying to pick those spots to be aggressive does have five points in this

Best Shooters are out they have to find some other options and make some different reads Watson’s rebound sets up an n one opportunity for for De Wolf by D wolf that’s a veteran move helping out her teammate good find by Kylie Watson and great job body control look at some of those other
Numbers for the Irish tonight 18 forc turnover ACC tournament getting underway on March 6 right only four games left but so much is going to be determined as KK Bransford lays it in as we mentioned it would take nothing short of a small miracle for the Irish to be able to
