Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4887882, member: 6620"] Thanks for posting. I usually get something from Northam (whether I agree or not), but I can't quite tell what he's trying to say here. I agree that Duke's defense does have the ability to make good offensive teams look average. Kudo's to Coach Lawson and her charges. But, that said, UConn doesn't play the kind of defense Duke does....the ND-UConn game was a battle of two teams that like to get out and push, with ND also stepping up on the defensive end, particularly in the second half. UConn didn't challenge that high-post action featuring Hidalgo and Westbeld, which allowed HH to just blow down the paint. By contrast, Duke was challenging that, as NC State did, but ND countered by spreading out the offense in the third quarter with Nat Marshall getting out of the way. [/QUOTE]
