UCONN has been quite lucky with injuries , of late.  Gabby's hip may have hampered her some, but didn't put her out for long periods.  Same with the shin splints Crystal worked through.  Katy Lou has the "foot" thing, but she is tough as nails, and remained worthy of her first team AA status.  But to lose front line players for the year, as ND did, would be disastrous for UCONN..  The reason, in my view, is that ND has a far more talented, deeper bench than UCONN.  We may have slightly superior front line players, but they have always had a superior bench.  They won the championship because their bench delivered and grew.  Not to mention their AA guard.  Next year, they should beat us by 20.  Seriously, our bench is scary, at least as we last saw them running around and creating turnovers.

Let's face it ;  we are all hoping for one of three miracles ( if not all );

1.  That Megan grows as Crystal did and comes back an AA.
2.  That our bench players  ( or several of them ) do the same.
3.  That the freshmen are unusual in both their talent and adjusting to the UCONN system.

Not to mention a return to 100% health for each player.
