The problem ND is going to have with UConn this year

[UConnChapette]

The problems ND will have with Uconn this year are too numerous to enumerate. My predictions are:
that they will have more steals than rebounds (not that they'll have many steals).
Diggins has already seen her best year. The ND graduates made life easy for Skylar. This year will be different. She will be the focus of intense coverage, and frustration will be Skylar's lot.

Hope she has enough headbands to try to change up the mojo!

Whatever happened to all the ND fans who used to come and post here? Have they already moved on to the ACC?

ND shot similar in the first half, so by that rationale Duke was only in the game because of ND's slow start. Ultimately, the teams had nearly the same stats at the end of the game. The final result was ND's guards scored all but 4pts for the game and ND was virtually Peter-less. It was just as painful to watch...except for the last play. Given the experience of watching Duke's much larger team with more/better posts not being able to stop guards who can score I think it's plausible to not put them in the same category as Baylor or UConn.

Dont think anyone, even Duke fans would group the Blue Devils as the equal of Baylor & UCONN. That being said... Im bullish on Duke vs any other team in the country. With the additions of Alexis Jones, Sierra Moore, the improving play of Ka'lia Johnson, and the return of Chloe Wells... we should be better equipped to handle a guard heavy opponent.
