Ok....I'll say it. Notre Dame doesn't deserve to be in the Final Four. Why you might ask? Well, I'll tell you.
They wouldn't be here without Jessica Shepard. She is there only true post, a solid player and with her senior Kristina Nelson or freshman Danielle Patterson would fill out that starting position. And there is no way in hell that the Irish would have been a NO. 1 seed. No way in hell would they have won 33 games. No way in hell would they have beaten Texas A&M or Oregon.
Ok...I guess we really don't know how it would have played out with her. You can't predict things like that. But I certainly feel that they wouldn't be in this game.
Oh yeah, why am I mentioning Shepard? I'm sure most of you know but the NCAA game Shepard a waiver that would allow her to play in spite of the transfer rule says she should sit one year. Now, did the NCAA give a reason? Not really.
What did Shepard have to say about it?
Shepard said she made the waiver request for “personal reasons".
Personal reason? Yeah, like my friend Cat said "She personally wanted to improve her game and she personally wanted to compete for championships."
There are many players who request waivers and I can't figure out why this one was granted other than it's Notre Dame.
So yes, they don't deserve to be in the Final Foul And yes, I hope UConn crushes them.
