Message: [QUOTE="rjp172, post: 2936192, member: 1342"] Revisionist history. ND's starters played more minutes than UConn's starters. They were either all gassed or running on adrenaline. Both teams had injured players as most NCAA teams in every sport have at the end of the season. UConn had KLS and CD that you mentioned for sure and I imagine others too. ND had Westbeld injured an ankle in the 1st round, Mabrey's wrist was documented as injured during the TV coverage of the tourney, and Shepard turned an ankle that she had been dealing with most of the year during the FF game. That's not even mentioning the nagging injuries that they had throughout the season. The foul trouble is greatly exaggerated. Lou was in foul trouble, which Geno didn't/couldn't manage effectively. That's on him. Gabby and Kia didn't collect their 4th fouls until 1:40 and :38 in OT respectively and ND never tried to drive on or isolate either of them 1 on 1 once they got their 4th. [/QUOTE]
