Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2990685, member: 6620"] In regards to Louisville, all kudos to them for having their athletic, rangy guards press ND's guards early and often. This disrupted the half-court, motion offense for sure and knocked Mabrey off her game. What surprised me was how well their forwards also swarmed down low, throwing off Shepard and Young when they were down low. I knew Fuehring was solid in the blocks, but Bionca Durham was tough and Shook was more resilient and active than I remember. Turner was getting open on hard cuts, but she missed way too many foul shots (6). As for Shepard, she had 15 rebounds, most of them in the first half and would've gone over 20, if not for foul trouble. She would ignite the Irish transition with Kevin Lovish-type outlet passes that hit the Irish guards in stride (people have referred to her as a tight end...why not a QB?). Tough game...kind of reminded me of an old Big East slugfest. [/QUOTE]
