Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 4444975, member: 7171"] The great Elite eight matchup of UConn versus NC State really should not have occurred, since NC State literally stole the previous game from Notre Dame. Perez stole the ball from Mabrey with only about twenty seconds to go and Notre Dame up one, and the rest is history. Watching that game in person, I was very impressed with Miles. She is long and quick, and moves almost effortlessly. Streaky shooter. She played 38 minutes and after a terrific first half, seemed to drift at times in the second half. She only took two shots in the third quarter, making one. And I still do not understand why the ball was not in her hands at the end of that game. Also was at the UConn ND game at Gampel last December, which we won pretty easily. That was unfortunately when Paige got injured. It was also Caroline`s coming out party. Notre Dame did not appear to me to play with much intensity in that game, seemed like they played very passive defense down the stretch when the game was still arguably in doubt. Although Citron was pretty average against NC State, I thought she was Notre Dame`s best player in the UConn game. So Miles and Citron are the ones who concern me the most. Nika will cover Miles. Given Notre Dame`s size we may start Lou on Citron and put Aubrey on a bigger player. [/QUOTE]
