Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3817792, member: 6620"] It's ok, gents, I know where your, errr hmm, allegiance towards ND is. ;) No offense taken...heck, as an Irish and Yankee fan, I'm more than used to it. ND is improving as an overall team. Oddly enough, that happened in part because Niele tightened her rotation, partly by choice and partly because of a typical ND development: injuries (in this case to Katlyn Gilbert and to whatever is keeping Sam Brunelle on a short leash). The Irish seem to match up pretty well with what Va. Tech does, and does not do. They don't play a lot of tight defense, which allows ND's prime shooters time to let it fly and, say what you want about the rest of their games, but Mabrey, Brunelle and Walker can shoot. Of course, Irish guards seem toally disinterested in covering three-points shooters, as well, so Va. Tech could make this a HORSE match. That's why I focused on Kitley vs the tag team of Vaughn/Westbeld and a guard (Peoples?) dropping down to double and keep the outlet pass from not going out. Both teams need this game. Stay tuned. No throwing popcorn at the back of my imagined head, now. 🙀 [/QUOTE]
