Marquette, but maybe Notre Dame will play more zone and the result will be a lot of 3 point shots. Make Arike take shots. Long rebounds will equal fast break points... which they had 21 against Mississippi State. I'd take my chances on that instead of playing the body contact game vs. Shepard. She'll win that one. But if Arike has a bad shooting day and Jackie Young has to chase around those nifty Marquette players the whole game, maybe that'll in turn cause both to have bad games offensively. Marquette has no size, but they can win playing the same way they did against Mississippi State. Only we played man-to-man against them and that obviously was not how you should play them. They'll just shoot soft floaters over you, stop and pop, and hoist balls up from any random spot.
Marquette has a collective unit of dangerous players. Very much like Notre Dame. Have great respect for Notre Dame, and they're definitely the most talented team in the country. Mississippi State is #2 though
, but Marquette has shown that they can easily play around your superior talent.
One thing I will say about Notre Dame is that they have great durability and don't get worn out as badly as other teams. Should be a great game. I voted for Marquette, but I'm really 50-50 on this. Could go either way.
