Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4146761, member: 6620"] I'm placing this in the UConn side of the ledger for one reason only: Huskies play DePaul in the same arena in a week or so. Some lessons learned. The game was a track meet, but ND eked out a victory by going to the paint: Maya Dodson (hardly an offensive powerhouse) had a career high and Maddy Westbeld got what she needed. Here's an immediate recap from ND's press office. [B]"CHICAGO [/B] — The No. 20/17 Notre Dame women’s basketball squad (11-2) won the track meet against the No. 1 offense in the country (RV/RV) in DePaul (11-3), outpacing the Blue Demons by the score of 91-86. The victory marked Notre Dame’s first NET top-50 win of the year and evened the series in Chicago against DePaul at 11-11. Maya Dodson achieved a career high career 28 points, including 10 straight in crunch time late in the fourth quarter. Maddy Westbeld supplied a season high 22 points, while Olivia Miles netted 20 points. It marked the first time the Irish had three 20-point scorers since Jessica Shepard (30), Jackie Young (21), Brianna Turner (20) vs Louisville on March 10, 2019. The stat of the game goes to Notre Dame’s rebounding and second chance points – both of which they dominated. The Irish owned a 24-5 offensive rebounding advantage, which translated to 29-1 second chance points. Overall, the Irish owned a 51-26 rebounding advantage." [URL unfurl="true"]https://depaulbluedemons.com/sidearmstats/wbball/individual;team=home[/URL] Dillon's druthers: [LIST] [*]DePaul's Morrow is quite good, but she's an undersized 6'1" power forward who has a quick first step. Ms. Edwards should match up on her immediately. [*]DePaul's guards are all quick and have definitive moves to the hoop or paint for layups or pull ups. Some ND guards had issues with this (Mabrey, Citron), which is why Abby Prohaska and Anaya Peoples were handy to defend. Westbrook and Williams should watch the drive to the basket if UConn goes man. [*]Rebounding and 2nd chance points. Irish just pounded them. Huskies should flood the lane, too. [/LIST] - Time to get Dorka, ONO and Ms. Edwards ready on offense. - Random Irish thought: Miles is getting better game by game. Geno always handles DePaul well, but there's a lot of good athletes on his squad. Get ready to run. [/QUOTE]
