Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2462622, member: 2117"] Others have mentioned Notre Dame—the programs have run very similar offenses the last 6-7 years, the main difference being that Notre Dame’s guards seem to have more freedom (for better or worse) to drive the lane and get their own shot while UCONN runs an offense that relies more on picks and precise passing rather than dribble penetration. Notre Dame’s strength has been their guard play while UCONN’s has been their forwards and front court. Obviously players like Turner, Jefferson, Peters, Hartley, etc have had massive impacts but the difference makers in many games have been Stewart, Diggins, Tuck, Dolson or McBride. This time around it was Stevens. Defensively I don’t see a lot of similarities between the two....Notre Dame is rarely a strong defensive team. [/QUOTE]
