If the 9th is calling the game it will be tight, if the 16th is calling the game ND wins by 10 or more.

Boone by 9 points, it will be closer than this but NDA will have to foul in the last minute to have a chance and Boone will answer the call at the Free throw line.

Do these two teams/programs have any storylines that would make one team have an extra motivation against the other one?

NDA by 7. I think they will find some way of stopping Behrens.

32minutes is absolutely right. I was at the game between Ludlow and Boone. The reason that Ludlow slowed down Behrens not so much a particular game plan, but instead the size of Ludlow's center. Notre Dame does not have that much size and will have trouble stopping Behrens on the inside.

 

Who will win....you never know, but I like Boone to win by 5. Bradley is simply an outstanding point guard, and I believe she will be the difference.

 

I guess without talking 1st hand to Coach Stamm we will never know exactly what his game plan was for Behrens but I'm told that after playing them earlier in the year and getting beat by a pretty large amount and Behrens scoring in the 20s he knew that he needed to make some adjustments and one of those things was to deny Behrens the ball and when she got it then to have 2 or 3 people cover her immediately. As far as holding Behrens on that night they were at least able to accomplish that much. 1 field goal and 4 free throws so it appears they obviously had a different game plan. Good coaches make adjustments. Coach Stamm appears to be a pretty good coach.

NKAC DIII coach of the year right? Seems like his game plan worked well against them, because he did make adjustments from the first game that BC crushed them.

 

I am not sure if NDA can totally replicate that due to lack of size....

I dont see boone beating a heathy Notre Dame...but i think that sparrow is the difference maker..IMO she tough because alot of people are worried about Behrens and Bradley and sparrow comes up big when needed....but i think that ND wins by 10+
