This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

ND To Play in Cancun Challenge Over Thanksgiving Weekend by dillon77

Notre Dame Women's Basketball just dropped first news about the 2019-20 schedule and they're continuing their tour of North America. Last season they played in Vancouver; this upcoming season will see them spend the Turkey Day weekend in Mexico and the Cancun.

They'll play two challenging mid-major teams -- Florida Gulf Coast (Nov. 28), South Dakota State (Nov. 29), both of whom made the NCAA Tournament -- as well as South Florida (Nov. 30), which usually acquits itself well in the AAC conference. The Bulls recorded a 19-16 record during an injury plagued year in which their sixth ranked all-time leading scorer Kitija Laksa did not play due to an ACL injury. They did play in the WNIT.

So, as they did last year, MM and her staff find challenging competition at these tournaments (remember how Gonzaga, Drake and Oregon State were excellent matches last year?).
