OT: Wow! Duke over ND

[cabbie191]

First, happy for Kara and our Duke-loving Boneyard posters.

Second, not really shocked - if you take credence on betting lines and I do - the one I saw on ESPN had ND favored by only 4.5 points.

Somewhat not surprised with yesterday's results. ND's game vs. Cal on Friday was underwhelming.

Wesbeld looks checked out. Overall, ND looks to be treating their bigs like second class citizens when it comes to shot attempts. And many of the attempts they do get are offensive rebounds or bailing out a guard.

I thought that after the way Westbeld started her career, she would have been an AA by now. I wonder what happened. Also, I think ND peaked too soon. However, they should still be a dangerous team in the tournament.

Have gotten to see multiple ND games lately and agree that their bigs are not looking for shots and when they get them, don't appear comfortable. Suspect that some of this is end of year fatigue and some is based on ND being such a guard-oriented team. No one should underestimate them in the NCAA's since when they turn it on, they are as good as anyone out there.

They definitely have all the pieces, but they need to use them all. Especially, since their bench isn't all that strong. Couple of games back Wesbeld had only like 4 shot attempts. Not sure why because I didn't watch the game, but I was very surprised.
