Like their play after Duke closed within 2 points in the beginning of 2nd half . For a while I thought that ND women would not get a #1 seed (Mississippi State,Maryland etc) ,not that it makes that much difference , #1 or 2# seed , gotta play the games no matter. My concern for this year's team are the lapses on offense , ND women seem to give up 10-12 point leads early then put on late rallies . Gets out of rhythm. Still need to play a complete game to beat the likes of even the # 2 seeds ,Maryland ,Oregon State ,etc.
No team can beat UConn without a near perfect game. Some out of conference college teams scheduled UConn hoping UConn would not be as good since the first 3 picks of the WNBA were Huskie players. No such luck. Auriemma may just love this team more than his past teams because people thought UConn would be vulnerable .
ND still needs to work on its defense to get into the finals . Just a another thought about the Duke game . We had a double digit lead in the first half and Duke closed the gap to 2 points with an early run in the beginning of 2nd half and except for that run ,this could have been a 30 point blow out instead of 20 .
