In regards to ND last year, I believe they had 8 McD AAs. 3 Frosh, 2 sophomores, 2 juniors, and a senior HS AA. I thought ND looked very capable of challenging UConn (turned out MSst would be in the championship) after their ACC title game. Their offense looked potent when Boley and Young started shooting better. And when Arike started to pass a little more. If Turner didn't get hurt I believe they would habe at least been in the FF. Stanford beat them by 1, and they were carving them up in the paint. I guess I shouldn't call Aston and Mulkey bad coaches. They are definitely superb in many areas, especially recruiting. I think Texas might have too much talent, and they don't play consistent enough to make it to Elite 8s. Mulkey just needs to schedule a tougher schedule. Her team was hardly tested over the course of the season. I would make an argument that ND' s schedule helped them win the title because they went through it all. A tough early come from behind win at Oregon ST, the 4th quarter meltdown at UConn, the stomping at Louisville, 23 point comeback against Tenn, and then losing to Louisville again. I would put Mulkey and Aston in the same group as Walz, Staley, Frese, Blair, and Rueck (among others). [/QUOTE]
