Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4512076, member: 6620"] ??? Do you want to see if Charlie Creme adjusts where he rates ND based on Mabey's injury? Or on the losses that are going to happen based on Dara being out? Dara was/is the fiery heart of the ND, which is expected of a Mabrey and was somewhat necessary on a team where a lot of key players don't wear their hearts on their sleeves (Westbeld, Citron). However, Dara's main other contribution was long-range shooting and she was in midst of one her worst slumps. She was under 30% from three for this year and was averaging 9.3 ppg. While she has improved her man-on-man defense, she wasn't a great zone defender. It will be interesting to see what Coach Ivey does. It's not so much who starts in her place, because Ivey will play whatever combination is working best for her that evening as the game progresses. But who will step? We know Miles will, but the two keys to me will be: [LIST] [*]have Maddy Westbeld be consistent, game in and game out. [*]make Sonia Citron "selfish" in a good way. She shoots more than 50% from the field, nearly 50% from three and 86% from the line. She went 6 for 7 from three in the UVA game: let it rip. [/LIST] We'll see the fallout soon enough: FSU and Duke are coming to South Bend soon. [/QUOTE]
