Brad,to nearly pull off the upset you have to be with in 2 or 3 I'd think. Yes, we played a good game though, first half was ours, second half was theirs.
Top 10 teams are consistent scoring, the whole 40 min, that's why they're top 10, we are close, real close!. Clean up some things, like missing bunnies, eliminating TO's late in the game, etc., then we are there!
I remember when we finished about 12 pts behind a top 25-10 top 25 team, about eight or nine years ago. Now we are about 6-8 pts behind exclusively top 10 talent, giving 2 or 3 free throws fouling late in the game to get the ball back,.... excluding the debacle against Marquette....that's getting close to elite territory, especially game in and game out this year.That's progress, making us a dangerous team. Good job AJ and staff! Remember, ND lost to Louisville by 30+ points, and again 74-72 last year when they won the National Championship.
4 of our 5 starters came out ready to play and they performed well. I don't know how you stop #20 when she is feeling it, she is a unreal scorer, we held her pretty well IMO till towards the end then she broke our back.
