Compounding matters, Taya Reimer's achilles condition is not getting any better and she's out today, as well, leaving the Irish really undermanned at the post/down-4 positions. Only Kathryn Westbeld remains. While she was usually viewed as the complementary piece to Reimer and/or Turner, she's really solid and has played well this year. Still...need another player to step up and/or help...Christina Nelson is coming back from a year off and the rust is slowly coming off. Against smaller teams, don't be surprised to see Mabrey2 down low. She rebounds well and is pretty tough. Still, the Irish need Turner and Reimer at full strength....Turner injured her shoulder in practice. Same shoulder that was previously injured. No diagnosis yet.
Who is #2 ? I'm going with Baylor. I'll have to wait on Turner's prognosis before placing ND there.
How's Ogunbowale doing?ND will get waxed by UCONN but oh well. More worried about the rest of the season.
Folks listening to the radio broadcast report that the way the Turner injury is being discussed is ominous. If she is out for a long spell, ND's ceiling is significantly lowered.
Glad they won today though. These close games are good experience for Rico and Marina.
ND has left Uconn with another in-tact record, namely the aforementioned "highest-lowest" single-game margin of victory for the 2013-14 season. The record is 11, and squad after squad is winning by 10 or fewer in November. As in already. This record may never be broken.

So are they gonna make room in the top 25 for UCLA?
How's Ogunbowale doing?
Last season one of Duke's players (Chidom) had a similar injury (i think). Eventually she ended up going the surgery route in Feb.. and missed the rest of the season.
Getting to the basket well, but not hitting enough of her free throws, as well. However, I agree with you...she'll be fine once it all "slows down."She looks good but the shots aren't dropping for her. Typical freshman stuff. She'll be very good when the game slows down for her.
