You know, earlier in the season, I really thought the Huskies had addressed the glaring weaknesses from last year's semi-final with the improvements in pushing pace and controlling tempo during the game, and better guard play that could create off the dribble and break down a pressure defense.  However, that second element did not sufficiently materialize, both late in the season and in this game in particular.  Kia had made some incremental improvement in that area, but not nearly enough.  And gosh, Geno sat Crystal a lot during the later stages of the game... I could only speculate why.

Of course the new weakness that was exposed is that our defense really isn't all that.  Their guards romped to the rim and scored at will tonight, and while bad refereeing had something to do with that, you still have to give credit to Notre Dame.  That's not something we often see, and not one of the things that our defense is famed for shutting down.  Notre Dame is a tough match-up for us, no doubt.  And for the second year in a row, Geno got out-coached during his last game of the season.
