Maybe she did. But the story really is Duke not meeting the moment against an opponent with a season on the line. Norte Dame has played good, spirited defense, and hasn’t allowed Duke anything fast or easy.

I was going to post something snarky, but i think you're post is better.

There have been elements of the commentary today well below standard. Sometimes I feel like we’re listening to a publicity campaign.watcherinthewoods wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 4:46 pm Did the commentator really just reference final exams as a reason why Dook is taking a beating? I am not a fan of either program, but come on. How about ‘Wow, Notre Dame is putting an ass kicking on Dook?’ Games are decided on the field. No play well, no win game.
She did.

As a proud Demon Deacon, I applaud the sarcastica. The university of New Jersey at Durham … buh-bye.Dr. Tact wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 4:54 pmShe did.

All of the above was written in sarcastica font.
I do think she does more than score bc of what she brings to the DC however...That is her first caused turnover of the year. And fifth ground ball.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 7:22 pm Charlotte North's stat line through 3 quarters:

Yup--all she can do is score.
Asinine.
8 hasn’t been playing alot of offense in the 4th. Draw and off? Looked like a little limp to her gait? Resting her?wlaxphan20 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 7:35 pmI do think she does more than score bc of what she brings to the DC however...That is her first caused turnover of the year.

Possibly..I would, if she's nursing something. Her one leg/hip had k-tape and a sleeve on it I believe. Games only get tougher after this oneBart wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 7:41 pm8 hasn’t been playing alot of offense in the 4th. Draw and off? Looked like a little limp to her gait?

You neglected her assists, which are up to 18 for the season.wlaxphan20 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 7:35 pmI do think she does more than score bc of what she brings to the DC however...That is her first caused turnover of the year.

Not herself by a long shot. She'll have some decent breaks over the next couple weeks but her teammates will have to continue to fill the void the way they did tonight.

My point is she can do these other things. She's not limited, which is the impression I get from some of the comments North gets on these boards. She's no Sam Apuzzo, granted. But athletically, she does things Apuzzo could only do in her dreams.

I’d rather have Appuzzo
