So what's wrong with Arizona and Notre Dame?

With Arizona, one issue is Shawntinice Polk's foul troubles. She is obviously the foundation of the Wildcat's inside defense, but she hasn't yet learned how to guard the lane without picking up fouls.

In each of the last 3 games, Polk has had serious foul trouble, leading to reduced minutes. When she's not on the court, Arizona's defense can get soft.

Notre Dame's defense has also been suspect. With Ratay gone, many worried about the Irish's guard play this year. But post play has been even more of a problem.

MSU outrebounded Notre Dame 38-17. When the Irish faced the Vols, Ely and Robinson were able to do whatever they wanted inside.
