Tale of the Tape: Team Leaders - Notre Dame vs. Stephen F. Austin
The reason Notre Dame has had such a successful season is the absurd amount of talent it possesses. So it should come as no surprise that many of the players leading the major statistical categories are among the best in women's basketball. Anyone not considered a star easily might be one as early as next season if they're returning.
All of that talent will be on display when the Irish open the NCAA Tournament against Stephen F. Austin. While the leaders on the Ladyjacks deserve respect, they simply can't hold a candle to those on the Irish. One only needs to compare the leaders on both teams, and it's obvious which team is better.
