Message: [QUOTE="Robin, post: 3086374, member: 2381"] I've watched a lot of ND games and though it looks like they aren't as good on defense, that's not really true. They are smart on defense which means the bigs underneath the basket will sometimes allow a layup to avoid fouling. They know their bench isn't deep so they have to be careful and they know they can usually outscore opponents but can't do that if they are on the bench. Doesn't work as well against teams like UCONN and Miami. I'm sure Muffet will make adjustments when they get deeper into the tournament. Also, they score so quickly, rarely using even half the shot clock, which allows more shot opportunities for their opponents. A good portion of their points come from transition and you don't get transition without good defense and rebounding. Brianna Turner is one of the best shot blockers in the nation and nobody runs the court like her fit a center. [/QUOTE]
