Muffet McGraw's Notre Dame Lady Irish are struggling they lost 69-60 to Florida Gulf Coast yesterday
Teams are beating Notre Dame up on the boards. I think they are gonna be up and down all season until they get Vaughn back. They were able to beat number 16 Michigan then lose to Florida Gulf Coast who is one of the better Mid Major teams this season.Muffet McGraw's Notre Dame Lady Irish are struggling they lost 69-60 to Florida Gulf Coast yesterday
I think South Dakota State is a better team than they are and beat them today.ND lost to FGCU by 9 today in a holiday tournament. Having to play 3 games in 3 days, with a very short bench, it's possible that they will go 0-3 for the tournament. This should be exhibit A in the discussion of how large a roster a team should carry. ND had 7 viable players (plus a few walk-ons), then 2 of the 7 went down with injuries.
What ND is going to do in the next 2 games will be very interesting. Does Muffet play the starting five 35+ minutes each game, in an effort to win ? While this would maximize their chances of winning, it would also expose the starting 5 to an increased chance of injury.
They are not going to the NCAA this season looks obvious that they will have double digit losses and maybe a losing season.
Yes they were expected to be better and almost everyone is pounding them on the boards. The team that feels bad now is number 16 Michigan that lost at home to them.At this point it does look that way. Really devalues our win on the road, but they really kicked off our big slide last season. Still a great momentum win.
They have the talent so I don’t think that’s the excuse, they may have a really short bench but we saw what they did with basically 5 players two seasons ago. I really think the piece they’re missing is Niele Ivey. Soon as she came back to ND they improved immediately, soon as she’s left they’re struggling again.
