Breanna had very big games against the Irish the last two times the teams played each other. Last year they had Kayla McBride guarding her both in the initial man-to-man defense and in the triangle - and - two that they used later in the game.
This year McBride is not an option. I haven't seen Ms. Turner play, but I can't imagine that Muffitt would trust a freshman post to chase Stewie all over the floor. Reimer doesn't seem to have the quickness or the length to get the job done. No one else on their roster seems like a plausible candidate.
So does that mean that they will rely on a 40-minute zone? Stewie should be able to get plenty of midrange and three-point shots against that if she moves around. The only thing she can't do (and I am sure she won't) is live in the low post all night.
