Well, this chart looks different from what it did early this morning, at least on one side. But with the sobering news that Notre Dame won’t have [autotag]Olivia Miles[/autotag] for the NCAA Tournament, adjustments were necessary. The result is [autotag]Sonia Citron[/autotag] being the best player in nearly every category, and it also is kind of scary. While few Irish fans doubt her abilities, suddenly having to carry the in Miles’ absence surely will take a toll to some degree.
On the flip side, the Thunderbirds are a team more spread out as far as leaders. Miles being out flips a few categories or at least makes them closer. With the Irish’s guard play weakened by the losses of Miles and [autotag]Dara Mabrey[/autotag], they’ll have to try and win this and every tournament game in the paint. They have the personnel to do it, but will it be enough to get out of the first weekend?
