Notre Dame vs. Syracuse Full Game Replay | 2023-24 ACC Women’s Basketball

Notre Dame vs. Syracuse Full Game Replay | 2023-24 ACC Women’s Basketball

And we are about to begin ACC play between these two teams here in Syracuse both teams with just one loss this season and it’s Syracuse with the opening tip and a jumper right away that’s a two just inside the three-point line by Elena rice and this is what

We’re going to see we’re going to see Syracuse really look to push Tempo it’s going to be an up and down game and how about it a great start from Rice yeah if you are cutting highlights for this game you’re going to be busy I can promise you that it’s westbeld misses the

Opening shot for Notre Dame and Notre Dame’s only loss is to South Carolina in the season opener this is the starting five right now for Syracuse fa and Woolly both came over from Buffalo with Coach Jack and there’s a Doo with the steal she leads the nation in that category as

It just seems like it comes easy for her yeah six steals the game Sam and she’s actually averaging more steals than 60 teams in the country so let that sink in that’s incredible again they are moving up and down fast fair in the starting lineup tonight she didn’t start in the last

Game came off the bench number two in white and a second chance blocked how about a third chance for leam she gives to Woolly and Woolly another steal for ad Dogo two steals already and that pass broken up fa will race down the other end up to Woolly and and Syracuse up 5

Nothing exactly what we’re going to see I mean they they’ve bailed themselves out with a few of those turnovers but up and down transition that’s what both coaches want to see from their teams when you score in transition the odds are always likely in your favor so right

Now a dogo on pass to have 80 steals in this game so she’s had two in the first two minutes I think that’s like North Carolina public education math skills and there’s a travel by number 22 Kylie Watson NE Ivy this year having to negotiate a start to the season without

A lot of her Stars even though they’ve done so well obviously Olivia miles still out Sonia citrone out R is out as well along with Prosper but they are number five in the net three on the way it’s good by leam whoa what a start by the orange

An 880 start by the Syracuse Orange at home Notre Dame says hang on we got to talk about This and a half minutes it’s been a jaw-dropping start for Syracuse Asia no absolutely Five Points off of two Notre game turnovers this is what the orange want to do they want to push Tempo and we’ve seen a lot of that quick scoring efficiency scoring balanced attack little bit of bad news for

Syracuse during the timeout they took a three-pointer away and made it a two-pointer on that last Jumper by uh rice so it’s seven nothing lead instead of eight nothing but the point is it’s been a perfect start for Syracuse against one of the best teams in the country Willie going for the

Steel and a foul called or wait I think they just called a jump ball no Foul love the aggressiveness of Syracuse as well they they have come right at Notre Dame here in the first quarter off the inbounds play first bucket of the game is by K granford for Notre Dame and Bransford she’s a very versatile player as well she can play positions one through four another key

Player that coach is going to need to step up the doggo with their third steal and it leads to a Layup it’s just uncanny how she coms up with all these Steals and now ad Dogo going for another one trying to tie it up let’s go back to that last deal it’s going to be Notre Dame’s ball yeah the pocket picker here Hannah Hill Doo how about at the Freshman against the OG

Stealing her cookies transition to the bucket I mean this what Hannah Helo does that’s why she leaves the nation and steals yeah that’s such a good match up her against fair there again two of the top scorers in the country fair can go beyond that she’s the 20th alltime

Scorer in NCA history jumper off the mark by Marshall that Marshall 15 for Notre Dame into the game for the first time will turn around jumper from the elbow is no good and the rebound ripped down by Watson and here comes Notre Dame the doo for three this is obviously H Doo’s first

Time playing here in the JMA Wireless Dome it takes a little bit to get used to if you’re a shooter a nice offensive rebound by wood in the stick back yeah we had a tremendous rebounder it’s really picked up the slack especially in the absence of

Vera how about the fact of of playing in the dome here Asia does it make a big difference when you haven’t played here before nice move Inside by Watson yeah like the spacing of the Arena can be a bit deceptive cuz there’s so much space it’s kind of like you’re

In a big warehouse but then like there’s these like you know area of like bleachers and chairs like right there around you but there’s so much space around the build but you know you just got to lock in enjoy the experience and you know focus on

Court and foul is actually called at the end of that play and fouls going to go against Syracuse here’s a look at that spacing we’re talking about so if you’re coming down shooting at that goal that’s a considerable amount of distance between the goal and the the stands

Which obviously you can have a lot of people in here and it doesn’t look as crowded because of how massive this Dome [Applause] is foul by the way had been on wood and now foul on wooly as Notre Dames back to within three coach Jack is how she’s affectionately

Referred to brought three pillars to this program based on character academics and Basketball nice look inside the westbeld misses the layup gets it on her second attempt and I love that look that lob look westbeld with great position in the paint great catch and able to make it on the on the second opportunity Bel a legacy player for

Notre Dame her sister cat was a national champion at Notre Dame as well wood has it knocked Away by West Bel and it’s going to go to Notre Dame last Touch by the orange and Notre Dame back to within one sorry as yeah that sorry Sam that

Was a nice that was such a nice pass by rice if it was a clean catch by wood it would have been a wide open Layup 9 to8 team been able to really break away out here in this opening quarter Dogo creative shot doesn’t go down it’s going to stay with no today doggo coming off a triple double against Western Michigan 26 points 11 rebounds 10 assist the third Notre Dame

Freshman to get a triple double but it was the highest scoring triple double in Notre Dame history she’s the national player of the week National freshman of the week ACC player of the week ACC rookie of the week week Marshall slow to get up so she is what we’d call a Phenom

Right and just incredible what she’s done as a freshman so far yeah just watching her play I’m just in awe hearing the stats watching games back watching her film he’s such an incredible player and just to be ar freshed so to know how much she can improve over the course of her career

Nice look inside good d by West Bell just stri that right away from leam the doggo loses it nice look up to fair for the layup good play by Syracuse that was nice yeah that’s what Syracuse does and that’s an excellent excellent excellent look in find and how about Fair running running the

Floor the campers will see that play this Summer that was perfect De Wolf knocks down the free throw line jumper to Wolf coming off a incredible game against Western Michigan she made five threes now she gets the steal to Wolf with fair to beat double dribbled a little indecisive about whether to pass

Or shoot well the reminder coming up next we just keep this New Year’s Eve quadruple header going we’ll have 19th rank Louisville taking on Miami and then we’ll cap the day later this evening with number three NC State and Virginia and of course we wish everyone a Happy

New Year ACC basketball off to a good start as they have 10 teams in the latest top 60 of the net a what a move inside westfeld comes out with it to Wolf one-handed pass to hogo Boom hgo with the three the three in the yell and she

Needed that she needed that three absolutely and that’s you know you talk about Hannah’s game you know that’s where she’s so special because we see what she can do at the point guard spot but when she’s playing off the ball Sam she is a excellent scorer and if you’re

Hearing Asia laugh about the doo it’s cuz Asia’s known her since she was a little girl so I I think you still can’t get over the fact that she’s not a little girl anymore but here’s a nice play here right down the middle and then the wolf trying to take that char

I called for the foul that was rice but go ahead AIA I didn’t want to interrupt you you you’ve known Hannah since she was a little girl haven’t you yeah we went to the same we went to a uh prek through 12th grade school at Life Center

So just to clarify cuz Hannah H did go to Paul the six but we did go to school together at one point when I was in high school and she was in fifth grade so always has been a tremendous player we have oh my gosh love bringing back back

The photos I’m right there front and center and actually Hanah doggo’s mom Tamara she was one of our assistant coaches you can see her there on the far right side and you know her family they’re just really great people they’re very into their faith they’re very family oriented and you know they’ve

Always been there for me I was boarding they had me over their house for holidays so it just speaks volumes of their family and even Hannah as a person more so the play leam with an N1 for Syracuse down have another look at it here leam is just so good with the an

One she’s got a big body and so much potential for her in her career you know I talked to Coach about it she’s so excited she told laam she said leam just has to go out there and have fun right now you know run around have fun as a freshman don’t worry worry

About too much let the game come to you you’re going to develop over time but when you sit there when you have fun and you work hard you are going to have a great career yeah like the Miss free throw she was an ACC freshman of the

Week earlier this year nice D by the orange it forces a turnover this is Perkins who’s checked into the game running the point right now she started the last game fair came off the bench Perkins no one there to take that pass and a turnover gives the ball back to

Notre Dame with a tie score here in the final 2 minutes of the quarter I will say this both teams love to push tempo right but at the same time I think mentally I’m talking about like the cerebral you got to slow it down a little but I think they are getting a

Bit sped up when they’re pushing the ball and that’s what’s causing those turnovers on both sides is it interesting though and concerning for Syracuse they have eight turnovers here in the first quarter D wolf short on that three Watson got the offensive rebound and Notre Dame gets another run at the offense

Marshall pushes it inside the Watson gets her Miss misses again and nice tenacity by Syracuse to get the ball back Perkins Baseline nice look rifled that right into the hands of Shia Wilson yeah nice pass right but then also Wilson I you know what I really like about that she got herself together

Gathered and was able to get up and that’s why she got the M on the ACC all academic team great student another turnover forced by the orange woolly against the wol got it no whistle will got it I’ll take it Will’s gone over a th000 points for

Her career she was honored before the game there’s a doggo with the runner can’t get any stories in Asia they’re running up down down the floor so fast tonight another thing to point out in this first quarter you don’t see this a lot all 10 starters scored at

Some point and now we’ve begun to bring in some players Off the Bench that’s a good sign for both teams to get the balance now absolutely both teams at their best offensively when they have that balanced attack the doggo with the easy layup and it doggo three steals in

This opening quarter now with seven points as we about to finish the first 10 minutes post up by Wilson and the foul on Watson Wilson’s going to go to the free throw line with 12.8 seconds left Watson senior from lywood New Jersey transferred from Oregon it’s Wilson on the line and

Substitution coming in for Notre Dame number 10 Becky obma Beck getting her master’s degree at Notre Dame right now came from Pepperdine I like that free [Applause] throw ni Stroke by Wilson who grew up wanting to play at [Applause] Syracuse final 10 seconds of the quarter sir Q started out with a big lead Notre Dame’s been catching up ever since and Marshall ties it so we are tied 19 all at the steals so she get the hard hat award after after that game both these teams

This their first game since coming back from the holiday break we’re tied at 19 Watson looking inside good look to westbeld and had a whistle away from the ball an offensive foul before the entry pass was made so that waves off the basket the fou was on West Bell now that is a home court balance Le them the ball just died and then popped in the

Net Watson [Applause] misses so a doggo did not start this quarter she’s going to come in Off the Bench Doo already with a fantastic opening quarter not surprising comes out y at her teammate she’s a natural born leader telling everybody where to go and it’ll whistle as both teams go for that ball

Marshall gets called for the foul it’s going to turn it over to Syracuse Marshall number 15 for Notre Dame there’s that number 15 in honor of one of her High School coaches who passed away from cancer Claire dros Marshall’s from Queens New York L of family and friends here Woolly and a foul on [Applause] Wolf the wolf player that really got

Going against Western Michigan before the break five threes had 17 points woly was honored before the game for her 1,000th Point her parents and sister here she’s from Australia from the bris area of Australia there they are front of your screen yeah how nice to be able to spend

The holidays with your family especially coming from overseas yeah first time they’ve been able to come over and watch her play at Syracuse course Willie Kane from Buffalo played for Coach Jack [Applause] there I know Willie she’s such a versatile player you forget how tall she is doggo gets around her nicely though

And puts in the the jumper yeah hogo knows she has the speed Advantage so I like that no ball screen she knows that she can get by woly off the Bouns Perkins nice will trying to run down the offensive rebound but you know hidalgo’s going to grab it hogo will push two on one she keeps it and adoga goes down little slow to get up on the other end so it’s five on Four now hogo runs back in that’s a sigh of relief for Notre [Applause] Dame Dives for that ball Marshall against fair and the foul late coming over was [Applause] Wilson take another look at him Marshall just headed here and then a foul call there and I will say this you know for

Syracuse when you have a player like handheld dog on the floor you cannot afford being too loose with the ball and then on the other end you know get the foul Jer already with four steals Marshalls on the free throw line 10 of 17 this year from the free throw

Line one looks good here we go we got one left Marshall 65 this has been the best season of her career at Notre Dame she’s been at Notre Dame all four years and makes both free throws to pull Notre Dame back to within a point ACC opener for both teams part of

A quadruple header today in women’s Basketball Perkins and she’s quick good pass and fair the benefici here yeah so Shifty and so creative Perkins creating for [Applause] others rord trying to shake Fair loose goes in with the left hand misses rebound by wood another thing that I’ve noticed just from watching Notre Dame over the

Course of I think one of the areas they really need to improve offensively is missing those bunnies inside when you’re in the paint you got to get those well ASA Fair had no trouble making that three and she pushes the Syracuse lead to six De Wolf short jumper is

Good wolf like another coach on the floor coach Ivy was telling calls are coach De Wolf in fact take by rice oh that’s [Applause] nice and Syracuse answering and the Wolf last two times down the floor has made the jumper it has just been back and forth I

Love this scoring we talked about if you love offense you’ll love this game not fair that was just off the Mark Wood came flying in and eventually draws the foul on Bransford this not game team moved up to 13 in the AP rankings this week Syracuse receiving

Votes if you look at the net which is one of those key indicators the committee uses to select the teams for the tournament they’re number five they they’re the highest rated team in the ACC in the [Applause] net fair and a doggo with a rebound and Marshall offense a

Foul and Marshall going out two play you got to have some body control there but Hildago here this is what she does she pushes up the court but then we see Marshall Here not a good look there she should have kicked that out and you have to have body control going in but that’s a great defensive stop there by Perkins Marshall heads to the bench two fouls Now comes up over to get [Applause] fair not have even close to a shot clock violation this game they’ve been scoring shooting so quickly on the offenseive been the first time I can remember the shot clock getting down to five at three Wilson swatted out of bounds by Watson but not before the shot clock expired

That is ironically the first shot clock violation we’ve had just after I mentioned we hadn’t had any I mean shot clock violation but hey we’re still going to look at it Watson how about it with the volleyball SWOT she’s like please come on I want that Block a lot of turnovers in this game though both these teams trying to figure the other out Watson posting up and a jump ball how about that d by Wood Wow you on both ends both ends and here we go we see wood here first of all great foot

Movement and then you talk about getting her hand all on the ball getting that stop I got you to Watson that’s an incredibly skilled play to just have the control to get just your hand on that ball like that and the strength to hold it on offensive rebound and a foul it was

Leam who grabbed the rebound and was fouled on the way up have let’s go so we will have a free throw when we come back on the other side of this break this is an intense ACC opener in Syracuse up four on Notre Dame you might have heard some things

About Liberty University well just and I mean I don’t even know how to continue to describe her Asia you just have to watch and see yeah absolutely you just have to watch and see and she’s just a fun player to watch and you know I love a

Two-way player one that gets it done on both ends of the floor she’s just a Workhorse she’s humble but she works hard BMA had committed the foul just going into that timeout doggo obviously right now playing in the the shadow of Caitlyn Clark the night she had the triple double Caitlyn Clark also

Had one so Caitlyn got a few more of the headlines but the doggo was got snuck in sports center as well we’ve already seen her tonight get four steals 11 points and she’s on the way to the basket blocked yeah want to see next time use that ball Screen ransford leading the break bobbles it the doggo popped out shoots to three Bransford with the offensive rebound and another jump ball called no foul Notre Dame will keep it boy wood is so good tying people up I was going to say Wood’s doing a great job shutting that paint down

Taking away Second Chance opportunities but specifically just with her blocks tying the ball Up doggo telling Bransford to go love it you know iy telling us that the team says we want to play as hard as Hannah plays he’s got the upper class one’s attention shot Off the Mark and wood wrestles away the rebound yeah would again I mean you got to love that but

They’re absolutely shutting the paint down going to stay with Syracuse Bransford arguing that it was Syracuse who touched it last official is not going to Agree the Mounds play shot missed by leam comes a doo looking up the floor ransford assist by a doo this is what Notre Dame exactly needs to do they need to keep getting stops and then pushing that’s their game push and transition and finish on the other end all good with two assists

Bransford now with four pointso leads the game overall with 11 points on the way off the mark by Woolly and the Wolf how about that she got the rebound maintained her dribble but then eventually got tied up when she couldn’t get up well we got some men’s basketball

Coming your way Saturday afternoon right here on acc Network it’ll be our first triple header of the New Year Virginia will take on NC State to start us off at 2 Eastern that’ll be followed by Virginia Tech at Florida State and then Duke will be in South Bend to take on

Notre Dame at 6 Eastern again those are men’s Gam games next Saturday in the midst of a women’s quadruple header today as leam gets the short jumper that was a great final W him on the cut right under the basket into the paint Bransford open for three Off the Mark

Bransford has only made two threes this season but it was open but doggo almost had another steal but they do Force the turnover and stolen right back by fair fair inside the lane [Applause] short to Wolf all by herself assist to [Applause] Dogo nice to catch my breath for a

Second just so fast but first halfcourt set we’ve seen in a few possessions some of the fans might leave the strain necks having their head on the S it’s like a tennis match exactly nice drive by rice the head keeps going back and forth this game it’s so fun to watch the Dogo

Streaking through gets rid of it to Bransford and Bransford missing the layup but will go to the line she’s foul layups that’s what you need you got to make those layups but I’ll take it having that opportunity to go to the free throw line and how about the pass by

Helo yeah Perkins coming back in I I have already come to appreciate just what of a a leader the Dogo is she is constantly screaming in her teammates in a way that they respond not out of anger just has no problem stepping up and telling people where they need to be no

Exactly and that’s tough as a freshman to do you know coming into a program and you’re the rookie you know you’re not as experienced yes she’s running the team but at the same time you telling the Vets what to do but that’s just how who Hannah is that’s how she’s always been

Like I said since she was young nice free throws by Bransford she’s only missed five All Season Bransford beneficiary of the the Dogo pass to set up those free throws Fair off the mark on the jumper runs in gets her Miss and sticks it in how about

That yeah I think she knew the shot was off so she ran right after the rebound but you got to love the effort textbook follow your shot West Bell getting the pass from MGO so Doo now with four assists five steals 11 points and no one there to catch that pass Notre Dame will get it back a lot of turnovers for Notre Dame that’s been the one negative for the orange even though they’ve for the most part maintained a lead in this open opening

Half they’ve turned it over 14 [Applause] times is the season average for [Applause] actually to Wolf West belt she’s got range and knocks it down three-pointer by West belt yeah West belt she’s been working a lot in the off season actually throughout the course of her career with

Carlos Max Player Development coach for Dame to the point where she’s confident she’s comfortable and she’s mentally in a great place coming into this season that was her n three of the season a dogo harassing Fair going for the steel fair that you just got to love the

Intensity of that play wow two of the best in the nation going head to-head literally watch this yeah we got the OG and we got the baby here going at it and listen no let ups at all and I love it I love the intensity that both Doo and

Fair are playing with I mean this is just so [Applause] excited it’s the six hell ball of the game too as what does that tell you I mean that tells you how hard they’re working how tough they’re playing how physical this game is Doo misses that jumper watching with the offensive

Rebound that’s an area that Notre Dame dramatically improved in this season offensive rebounding coach I saying the post seems to have a new attitude this year Fair picks hidalgo’s pocket and gets the layup yeah fa’s like if you you going to pick me guess what I’m going to pick you right

Back this is great the wolf and a travel as Bransford took an extra step trying to get to the basket quickly well the JMA Wireless Stone went berserk when Fair got that steel on the layup and they are just now settling down that was a a momentum builder for Syracuse as

We get ready to end the first half that’s I think they’re just even more excited just to watch these two go at it fair gets by a doo again Fair sending a message scoring both these teams with just one loss this season it’s the ACC opener for both Notre Dame lost their

Opener in France to South Carolina but held South Carolina to much below their season average scoring and the first shot of the quarter is good by leam and Syracuse builds the lead to six yeah that was just a pretty Fade Away jumper there so much potential you

Know in her game she’s got a little skill set there lots to polish off but I mean again just a freshman nice pass pass from West Bel into Watson for the layup both teams scoring on their opening possession woolly keeps that streak going Syracuse two for two to open the

Half Syracuse get yeah Syracuse is continuing to get easy looks driving to the basket so L Dame got to do a better job defensively keeping out the pain fouls on leam and Notre Dame will be at the free throw line there now specifically it’ll be Watson Watson who started her career at

Oregon and her second season at Notre Dame enjoying the the highest scoring average of her career eight points a game this year she was on our team USA 3 on three team back in 2021 that always tells me a player is really good away from the ball the wolf

With the steel and the layup and the Wolf trying to turn the momentum around to Notre Dame’s favor and I love that we talk about Hado but wolf too she’s another one that gets her hands in there and she just completely anticipated that pass and got after it the wolf

121st start tonight over her career nice look inside and wood with the finish and a lot of those drop passes that’s what the bigs and hes that’s what they’ve been getting and West Bell there you got to be there early you got to be

In of you got to be the help the helper well Syracuse shooting 50% in this game other D not far behind at 47% Watson on the Block kicks it back out to deol makes sure she’s on the three line misses West Bell with the offensive rebound and another jump

Ball seventh of the game in terms of held balls I think westbeld realized how open she was Westell off the inbounds play and an offensive foul on [Applause] Westell have another look at it here westfeld on the Baseline attack I think that’s good that’s great position there by wood as wood came in took the charge third foul on West first player to have three fouls they’re just starting the third quarter a lot of offense already

Here in the first two minutes Fair launches the three from Deep offensive rebound grabbed by rice and then the turnover gives it back to Notre Dame you talk about the foul Sam that Notre Dame is racking up that they’ve racked up in the first uh half and now we’re in the third quarter

That’s something to keep an eye on because they don’t have the depth they can’t afford that Marshall who was inserted into the lineup up for westbeld makes the most of the opportunity gets the layup the doggo diving to the floor for another steal D wolf forced the

Pass allo now with seven steals in the game five assists 11 [Applause] points getting closer and closer to a triple double ransford picks it up here’s to Wolf Wolf misses the lay up a doggo and one grab the [Applause] rebound I love the celebration every time the celebration gets but how about

It here still here then kago getting it on the glass I love it 56 all 5 sixes we getting up on the glass and gets the N1 I love it the excitement well and and like another former Notre Dame point guard Neel Ivy her celebration was about as intense as

The Doos they were they were both jumping up with their fists in the air and Doo’s mom here yeah de likes it h how was she as a coach Asia when she coached you oh she was very very hyped hyped you up she was kind of like she

Know she reminds me of she kind of reminded me of um coach Yao from um Old Miss like just that coach that fir like aim all that get fired up and it just exuberates throughout the entire team you that energy D Orlando High School coach mom also coaches as well Fair

Trying to break the Notre Dame momentum Notre Dame scored 11 excuse me nine of the last 11 points maybe adding to it here the wol Off the Mark and Marshall was open that’s a good play by Fair that was a wide open layup and she not gotten her hand on

It usually the loudest voice you hear is H Doos Dogo off the dribble Doo now with 14 points seven steals four rebounds five assists and another [Applause] turnover [Applause] coach Jack who Jersey hangs in the rafters here trying to get this team to grab the momentum backs Notre Dame’s

Overcome the deficit now has a one-point lead with a chance to [Applause] Build transfer to a double team [Applause] misses try to make the most of this turnover they’ve been turning it over more often than nod here in the second half five turnovers for Syracuse in the opening nine possessions Fair done it all by herself missed offensive rebound thrown back out to

Perkins three on the way and it’s good by rice yeah that’s just textbook capitalizing off that second chance opportunity starting with the rebound that’s a great kick out in rice we know she’s a cable shooter so that’s a great way to step up and knock down the bucket

Excuse me the three he Doo will not get the basket she was fouled before she drove down the lane and so it’ll just be Notre Dame’s ball out of bounds West Bell returns she has three fouls remember and that foul was on leam fouling the doo so it’ll be Notre Dame’s

Ball out of bounds Doo quick LOB about to West up to wolf defended by Fair can’t get the roll ball will stay with Notre Dame but the and the shot clock resets and Ne it’s fun watching her on the sidelines I feel like sometimes she’s still a player out [Applause] there The head coaches of these teams among the alltime greats at their schools westbeld for three that’s her second one of the game Big momentum play there for westfeld she she has that capability we know she can knock down shots so for Q you got to you got to have your eye on

It don’t give her an easy open look yeah she had eight 8 threes coming into the game for the season she’s already had two here Notre Dame has taken the lead overcoming the deficit at halftime Perkins misses that and AD Dogo grabs it ad Doo sends it the length of the floor

Nice give and go and then a foul on the rebound foul will be on Marshall she’s upset they didn’t score there so we will take a break in this high high intensity ACC opener between Notre Dame and Syracuse younger sister at that and she’s getting buckets and doing her

Thing on the middle school team and there’s her mom Tamara and Coach Ivy was saying that her brothers never took it easy on him they they went all out against her that’s one of the reasons coach Ivy thinks she’s so tough plays with that edge nice opening possession out of the

Timeout for Syracuse as leam gets the lay up to retake the lead for Syracuse adgo quickly answers 16 points for adgo Lightning Fast Response it has been a battle between these two in this ACC [Applause] opener jump Off the Mark offensive rebound taken inside and stuck back up and in that was [Applause] Wilson doggo gets around the D misses the shot and a travel Notre Dame will keep it well while we have a moment a reminder that ACC PM with Mark Packer and Taylor tanal comes your way every day from Mark Charlotte studio in his basement all the weekday at 4 Eastern they’ll continue

Talking football basketball plus half the latest from around the conference right here on acc Network and the ESPN app Fair against the wolf D wolf doesn’t foul Fair knocks it down easily also that crossover from left to right [Applause] lot of highlights in this game just some spectacular play [Applause]

Mak Doga open for three Off the Mark rebound Syracuse the orange with a three-point lead now looking to increase it West Bell grabs the Miss shot have been taken by rice here comes ad Doo De Wolf buries the three and that’s a great job great um

Read by Notre Dame there caring the ball in the back court so what do you do you push it up when you have numbers opening them opening up that opportunity on the three to made 53s against Western Michigan that was her first today tied at 57 good look inside wide

Open was Leon yeah this is what Notre Dame has been struggling with the entire game defensively is that secondary line defense that helped the helper you have to be on the back side for that drop it Doo you may not have been able to see her but she put that

In that is one of the things we really haven’t talked about she’s only 56 and fair Syracuse’s star only 55 there’s Fair launching to three partially blocked wolf nice touch pass and the doggo eventually can’t save [Applause] it Doo catching her breath another look at her dog just

Trying to hustle get the ball Dives for it yeah goes down pretty hard have another look here yeah looks like she yep she hit her jaw right there on her left arm going out doggo is going to get bre there you can tell she didn’t want to come

Out yeah but I think the rest is good you know cuz Syracuse they have the depth and you know they want to push it and run it that run it up the court in midle Dame any chance that you can that just get a BRI as about to go into the fourth

Quarter is needed Perkins muscled it up and in and Syracuse leading by a bucket get ready to approach the final minute of the third quarter back and forth Game Watson looking low to West Bell West Bell taking the pass from Watson and putting it in and I love that look it’s been there for westfeld the entire game and Watson having the size that she has able to not only see it but throw it

Over as well West with 12 points and an offensive foul on leam have another oh yeah the extension of the arm that’s where they got him on the offensive foul for L the wolf took that charge the wolf trying to get away from Fair gives it up to

Watson and the Wolf was open underneath and it was Watson who has the assist to Wolf now with 15 points less than a second between the game clock and the shot clock here the end of the third Quarter [Applause] wly fair with seven to play in the quarter tried to Rifle it inside and just could not thread the needle and the foul called on leam as she attempted to catch that entry pass well there’s been so many positive things to talk about in this game Asia

But we have had 40 turnovers yep 40 turnovers and the turnovers are you know very key in this game you got to clean the ball up that’s it’s been so back and forth so fastpaced I think you just got to stay poised make the right reads make the right passes don’t rush it

That’s on both ends that foul was on lean that was her fourth so coach Jack taking her out of the game West Bel made the first free throw knocks down the second as well she’s only missed five free throws all season and West Bel with

14 points now obma back in the game for the Irish and the heave off the back of the rim Notre Dame ends the thir third quarter on a 60 run they trailed at halftime but the Irish up four heading into the final 10 minutes of the

Game she’s a bit dinky and she isn’t strong and Coach coach Jack said hey I can work with and I mean you see willly look how far she’s come in her career Willie’s a six-footer turn over travel give it to Notre Dame lot of good good basketball players from Australia the

Doggo Notre Dame trying to win on the road at Syracuse Syracuse though has made this very difficult for the Irish who are 13th in the rankings this week and another steal Fair comes out of there with it up the floor to woolly woolly faked the Dumper here could not get around Bransford wly doesn’t get the roll offensive rebound and stick back by wood [Applause] though the doo right now 18 points seven steals six assists five [Applause] rebounds Doga nice take well frustrated she didn’t make that shot so Doo needs three more steals for the double

Double had two steals in the first two minutes of the game there’s the quadruple double watch I got to get used to saying that especially when I do Notre Dame game you see your not Zone Sam switching it up packing up the paint not allowing that drive not just the penetration but

Passes as well Steel by fa doggo turned it over fair with the the lob into wood and wood with another Paint Bucket for the orange timeout Notre [Applause] Dame I mean what a game that wood has had so far but Syracuse Starts Here fair with the steel and then the bucket here

From wood I’m loving it from the orange ACC women’s college basketball is presented by Food Lion the official grer of the ACC and a reminder we’re not done with ACC women’s basketball after this one couple more games coming up in our quadruple header as we will have

Louisville taking on Miami and then we will cap the evening with NC State and Virginia happy New Year everyone on this New Year’s Eve it’s the first full opening day of play in ACC women’s basketball Notre Dame trying to steal this one on the road but cuse

Has made that very much in question we’re tied we’ve had nine ties in this game nine lead changes this has been a tight one asan it’s been a tight one but a fun one a fun one for us a fun one for the fans probably a nail-biting one for

The players maybe and some of the coaches but the key is the state boys and you know down the stretch you wonder how much experience is going to come into play as well as depth cuz the pace is in favor of Syracuse right now Chago weing her way up the floor against [Applause]

Wooly Westell gets rid of it to De Wolf Watson has her pass broken up Willie comes away with it good D Again by Syracuse turnovers have been an issue for both teams in this game 2 four turnovers for Syracuse 20 for Notre Dame and another held ball it’ll go the other [Applause] [Applause] way this is about what you would expect these two teams play so similar to each each [Applause] other remember Notre Dame still without miles Citron prosper and R but yet they’ve only managed to lose one game NE Ivy admitted she really feels like the adversity they’ve been

Through is going to eventually benefit them because so many players whose minutes may have been limited with those others in the lineup have gotten considerable minutes and gotten used to being dependent on them [Applause] Fair one-on-one with the Dogo gives it up woolly gets the roll there Dame switch back to a manto

Man defense there but that’s sort of where they struggled was keeping the players of the orange in front of them now into double figures with 10 points Syracuse more importantly with the lead and then a touch foul by woolly as adgo got round her Marshall coming back in for the [Applause]

Irish let double team and tied up and that’ll turn it over to Syracuse and I love it and you know we talked about it all game Syracuse they switch up their defense they switch up their looks whether they’re trapping what they’re doing off the ball screens man Zone junk things that can really

Disrupt the rhythm of a team that’s a great Point as I I’ve never felt Notre Dame’s been in rhythm in this game they may end up winning the game but it’s you’re right Syracuse is disruptive absolutely the only time they are rhym is in transition foul out away from the ball now on

[Applause] Doo wood loses it Watson goes to the floor to get it finds idgo great defensive possession Dogo with the layup 20 points for ad Dogo yeah great defense offense and notice the defense kept switching up they switched up from man now back in that zone and the zone is really helped

As you seen West Bel there not allowing that drop pass fourth foul on westbeld yeah that’s Bransford coming in just a drive and drop and spell did get there but that but again a little too late you got to be down there early you do your work early you avoid getting the foul

Call Wilson on the ACC all academic team back at the free throw line she had made her first two tonight missed that one Wilson with six points tonight three rebounds comes in Off the Bench averaging seven a game this year so West Bel out of the game for Notre

Dame with four fouls leam is back in for Syracuse with four foul leam number 23 in white Marshall turns shoots misses ball will stay with Notre D last Touch by [Applause] Wilson this is not a popular call let’s take another well to see if that was out on her or not not not going to matter Steel by [Applause] Fair woolly Perkins grabs the rebound well how about Fair she had the steal had the pass got the got the tip

To allow that extra possession just short on that three so Notre ding can retake the lead on this possession Doggo splits the defense rifles in the pass but it is blocked by [Applause] leam Perkins goes around the screen go willly and Watson a little fired up down there well there has been no shortage of intensity and passion in this game no absolutely lots of passion lots

Of emotion lots of fire but we love to see it in this tight Game after our women’s basketball dou double header the nothing but net crew will break down the night in the ACC with highlights and Analysis of every women’s game they’ll also be looking ahead at the best matchups on the schedule in the coming week that’s covered you can find only here on acc

Network and the ESPN app and we have got an out standing ACC opener that I’m sure they’ll talk about Thursday night between Notre Dame and Syracuse the orange right now up one here the game with the ball both teams with three players in double figur scoring there’s the leading

Scores sh like under 10 that’s a rarity in this game Force pass by Marshall ralo though bails Notre D out and a turnover Syracuse comes up with it woly knocked Away by the wolf what a defensive play by the wol no foul and the Dogg go slow to get up

Fair right in Marshall’s face all going down and fair immediately Syracuse they had numbers Fair able have hit it Syracuse grabbing some momentum so you’re looking for a university that has anything you could possibly need anything you want a place that has the pr games you want to

Steady a place with saate of thee facilities and all that with a great view yeah I think I know a place NBA Wednesday on ABC a new night every Wednesday in January the League’s biggest teams the game’s brightest stars NBA Wednesday tips off this Wednesday on ABC we had to go to break quickly but this was the last sequence here Fair sends the pass down to Willie and look at this steal by the wolf knocked that away and then on the other end Doo got stuck that pass got away from Bransford and here comes fair fair no problem

Honestly this is what we’ve been seeing all game this back and forth Tempo it’s like you can’t let your foot off the Gap you make one play on the other end but then a play is made on the on the opposite end it’s been a great game Notre Dame was up

6561 to end the quarter and here in the fourth quarter Syracuse has outscored Notre Dame 10 to four still a two-point lead for the orange foul on Bransford as Willie got a Rounder not aim in the preseason pole this year picked to finish second sircus was pick to finish ninth off the pass no good Perkins with the offensive rebound missed and then another follow is made by rice I like the Zone look from MRE game but when you’re in the zone you know you’re

More at a disadvantage rebounding wise so you really got to lock in and focus on that but rice a guard with leg she’s a rebounding guard for Syracuse you got to know where she is a four-point lead for the orange short is branford’s shot and it’ll go back to Syracuse the orange

Building some momentum here as we head toward the final two minutes they have never beaten Notre Dame when Notre Dame was ranked Notre Dame comes into the game this week 13th up a spot and five in the net Perkins trying to get by to [Applause] wolf shot clock at 10 wooly launches the

Three West with four fouls grabs the rebound he Doo through the lane yes and fair answers with the three the two from adalo and the three from [Applause] Fair one thing happens on the other and you can’t take your foot off the gas but I love it the back and forth hido Fair

The two superstars late in game coming in clutch so heo started this with the layup and then within a matter of seconds Fair answers with this three and it puts Syracuse up five here’s the reaction from coach [Applause] chck [Applause] it it is interesting we we talked about

The contrast in Styles between fair and adogo and then the accomplishments of the head coaches they’re a lot similar in that Way NE live is’s so emotional and Coach Jack is a lot more [Applause] reserved westfeld Notre Dame trailing by five Iris have only lost one game all season that was

The South Carolina wood with the rebound woolly brings it back [Applause] out Fair another three got it deia fair is taking this game over a premier score and it Dogo answers on the other end and [Applause] one a premier score in the league and we

Know she can knock it down and I love it off of the bounce shoots it bam got it and then you have the answer by Hannah hiago on the other end leam has just fouled out Fair scored nine to Syracuse’s last 11 points they’ dog go on the free throw line 24 points

Today make it [Applause] 25 Syracuse going for the upset here in the ACC opener for both up five and now a minute to play Perkins to woolly in and out rebound Watson and Watson throws it away to [Applause] fa [Applause] Fair offensive rebound and one foul on Watson huge play huge met builder for Syracuse and we have another look at it the shot goes up I mean how about first of all the block out from wood underneath but then I love it here the an one the bucket from Perkins and the

Bench the bench loves it too Perkins on the line sophomore from Illinois misses the free throw adogo will push it for the Irish idgo all by herself cuts the lead to 5 32.3 seconds left and fair fouled right away by ad [Applause] Dogo de Asia Fair 22 points this

Afternoon she’ll be at the free throw line for the first time however clear this season a 90% free throw [Applause] Shooter trying to make it a two possession game and now we’ll try to make it a three possession that’s her Dad 11 points this quarter for [Applause] fair timeout Notre d yeah Notre Dame wi Advance the ball they’re going to need to get a quick [Applause] shot on the offensive end foul and then you know try to get the ball back seven-point lead for Syracuse with 31.6

Seconds Notre Dame this season has been outrebounded that’s a a big key to Notre Dame success remember to talked about how improved they were in that category for some reason Asia you touched on earlier Syracuse has just been able to disrupt everything Notre Dame has done

So smoothly to this point in the season yeah absolutely and you know getting on the glass it all starts with the effort and their bigs are doing a great job you have wood in there you know securing rebounds leam she’s got 12 so you look at that really getting in there getting

On the glass then you talk about this roughting Notre Dame’s office the majority of the times that not Dame has come up and had the setup at a half court Syracuse has switched up their defense which has been really disruptive especially when you have a freshman point guard for Notre Dame who’s run

Who’s running the show she’s not used to seeing this so it has just been very disrupted in in the show yeah leam fouled out but she had 21 points and 12 rebounds the only player in the game with the double double excuse me West Bell double double today with 16 points

10 rebounds for Notre Dame but even Hannah hiago’s 27 points has not been able to give Notre Dame the lead Syracuse up seven with just over 30 seconds to play Dogo quickly into the lane misses Rood with a rebound Notre Dame has to foul Bransford

Will foul fair and put her on the line with 24.2 to play you that’s a tough Miss and those are the gimmies that I’m talking about under the basket dur Dame has struggled all season long just you know missing layups under the basket and you know that’s huge specifically in that

Possession Syracuse has shot the ball well today 48% from the field it’s only the 13th free throw though and a nine of 13 from the free throw line fair with one more to shoot to try to continue to distance Syracuse from Notre Dame nine-point lead biggest of the day for the

Orange M Dame has to score quick H Doo into the lane puts it in 16 seconds left fair with the ball they’ve got a Fowler no choice it stops the clock with 11.8 but Fair’s been automatic from the free throw line yeah you’re going to foul you got

To foul right away you can’t try not to eat up as much clock as possible feir pading her stats she’s up to 26 points now four four from the free throw line all four of those free throws have been in the last couple of minutes missed

It hey one time come this straight one 13 points this this quarter that is a rare Miss for fair from the free throw [Applause] line eight-point lead for Syracuse under 10 seconds to play and the orange are going to get the upset to open ACC play

Hialgo buries the three that makes it a five-point game but that’s not going to do anything except make the deficit smaller what

The Syracuse Orange opened up ACC play with a home upset win over #13 Fighting Irish, 86-61. Syracuse scored 30 points off of 24 Notre Dame turnovers. Dyaisha Fair was relentless for ‘Cuse, scoring 27 points, including 14 in the final quarter. Fair also had six steals, four rebounds, and three assists.
