SOUTH BEND – Notre Dame only needs to take one look at Mississippi State’s leaders and realize where it stands, at least on paper. Once again, the Irish find themselves on the short end of a few areas in part because of the absences of [autotag]Olivia Miles[/autotag] and [autotag]Dara Mabrey[/autotag]. At least the win over Southern Utah put a couple of new names on the Irish’s leaderboard.
A lot of what the Irish do runs through the guard position while the Bulldogs seem to have more of a threat in the middle. But as we saw in the first-round win, the the Irish can force their will at the rim, too. Perhaps they will take the Bulldogs’ game and throw it right back in their faces. We’ve seen them win games in a variety of ways all season, so nobody can rule anything out, which is appropriate for the NCAA Tournament.
