What this comes down to is defense. Notre Dame is fifth in the nation in steals at twelve per game, ninth in rebound margin (8.5), and 19th in turnover margin (4.55). The Irish also have Devereaux Peters, the Big East Defensive Player of the Year. Peters is a shot blocking machine, with 67 swats to her credit this season.

With Texas A&M, defense is their fuel as well. The Aggies feast off turnovers. They forced 22 against Stanford on Sunday, allowing them to take 19 more shots than the Cardinals.

The key to the game will be Notre Dame protecting the basketball. If they limit turnovers, they will win and hoist the national championship trophy. However, if they succumb to Texas A&M's smothering full court pressure, if they turn the ball over, then it will be the Aggies partying when the game is finished.

If this is how the game is going to be reffed we're screwed. Not calling any of the slapping and reaching by A&M. We cannot win a game played like this.

You have to be kidding me with that offensive foul call. Turning the game off now to do some work... someone post here if it gets any better.

Yea, I'm not sure that's a nice compliment for a girl... The lady Irish got to calm down and pick it up.

Alright game back on. If we start sucking again I'll turn it off permanently.

We were down 6 to UConn at half and came back to handle them. If we can keep the score where it is after A&M's ridiculous start I'll be feeling great.

ND had been down 7 turnovers to 1.

Now they're even at 7.

Girls that large shouldn't be allowed to play. It's a safety hazard. That charge was like getting hit with a Mack truck.

33 doesn't just have junk in her trunk. She's hauling boulders around the back of her semi-rear.

I don't like player interviews during a game. Talk to the coach.
