Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2905351, member: 1131"] Turner's injury occurred in the NCAA tournament at the end of the 2016-17 season, so at the beginning of last season, ND was in exactly the same position as UConn is now. At about the same time last spring, Azura Stevens unexpectedly announced that she would be going to the WNBA. That is the same kind of event as Turner's injury, and UConn is having to deal with it in basically the same way. Megan Walker needs to step up to provide approximately the same level of production as Azura (not doing it in the same way, of course), and I'm cautiously optimistic that she will do that. ONO will have to (somewhat) fulfill the same role as Kristina Nelson provided last year for ND, when she was their one and only real resource on the bench. See below for more specific comments on Notre Dame's current bench players. [/QUOTE]
