Pressure defense is absolutely our kryptonite. So frustrating because this team is otherwise so friggin good.

The Louisville pressure defense was also very effective because of their depth and quickness. They could wear us down with frequent substitutions. Those freshmen were elite - four and five-stars.

We also seem to get anxious when the pressure defense is employed which helps it to be effective. We need to relax, slow down and run the play like it was called. Otherwise, it's turnovers.

Yes, Gisella Maul has had some reoccurring injury issues which has caused her to be unavailable. We need her on the floor because she is another 3-point shooter.

After Notre Dame, there are six games left (4 at home). All winnable. Likewise, the road games at Virginia and Va Tech.

Show up at Haas!! GO Bears!!!

I think we're going to see a lot more from Maul the remainder of this season and certainly -- if she sticks around -- next season. It's been pretty obvious that she's been hobbled. Last week against Pitt was the first time that she looked fully healthy.

I really appreciate clear-eyed analysis based on observable, measurable facts. I wish a certain segment of our country did the same.
