Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2806826, member: 127"] Their press is so disruptive with their depth that it should be a major part of their basic defense but playing frenetically on defense seemed to result in them sometimes playing frenetically and too quick to launch on offense, especially when they got the small lead. I also thought that SU's willingness to settle and launch 3's rather than attack inside or go inside out, hurt them this game. SU's best rebounder is Engstler off the bench, we need more boards from our other big players like Finklea-Guity , Djaldi-Tabdi, Foppossi and Strautman. Getting beat by 17 on the boards was a killer. The difficult thing to deal with is injuries, women's knees anatomically are so susceptible to ACL tears (up to 8 times more susceptible to ACL injuries than males) so depth is even more crucial for women's teams. Notre Dame last year's champs, had 4 players go down to ACL injuries. I sure hope Sissoko's injury isn't a season ender. [/QUOTE]
