scoring margin, outpointing its opposition by 20.1 points per night.

McGraw’s Shock TroopsDuring his coaching tenure with the Notre Dame football team in the 1920s, Knute Rockne was at the forefront of the two-platoon system, us-ing his “shock troops” — a full team of second stringers — at the start of most games. While Irish women’s basketball coach Muffet McGraw may not quite be following Rockne’s philosophy to the letter, she could easily rotate in much of her second unit and not see much de-cline in productivity. In fact, Notre Dame’s bench is averaging 31.9 points per game (compared to 47.5 ppg. by the starters) and has outscored all 18 opponent benches this season by an average of +17.0 points per night. Leading the way for this year’s Irish “shock troops” is freshman forward Devereaux Peters, who is averaging 8.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and a BIG EAST-best 2.11 blocks per game with a .521 field goal percentage (10th-best in the conference). Peters has come off the bench in 16 of 18 games this year, dropping in a season-high 15 points and added a season-best seven steals on Jan. 16 vs. Villanova.

Youth MovementLast year’s Irish rookie class (aka the “BMW” trio of guards Ashley Barlow and Melissa Lechlitner and center Erica Williamson) be-came the first threesome from one school ever to be named to the BIG EAST Conference All-Freshman Team in the same season. Following on the heels of that success, Notre Dame has a new freshman trio that is aiming to make an early splash at the college level — the “BBD” lineup of guards Brittany Mallory and forwards Becca Bruszewski and Devereaux Peters. All three Irish rookies have done their part to help Notre Dame to its 15-3 record, with each one averaging at least 11 minutes and having scored in double figures at least three times. Peters is fourth on the team in scoring (8.6 ppg.) and has scored in double digits in nine of the past 13 games, while also leading the BIG EAST Conference in blocked shots (2.11 bpg.). Mal-lory is averaging 7.0 points per game, is second on the team with 19 three-pointers and most recently chalked up a season-high 15 points last Saturday at Georgetown. Bruszewski is logging 4.5 points and 2.4 rebounds per game, collecting her third double-digit scoring game of the year with 10 points at Georgetown.

Spreading The WealthOne of the hallmarks of Notre Dame’s squad this season is its balance and depth. That’s been particularly evident through the first 20 games of the season (counting the exhibitions), with six different players from all five floor positions and all four classes leading the team in scoring.

Double TroubleAnother example of Notre Dame’s balance this season is seen in its point distribution. No fewer than 10 of the 11 Irish players on this year’s ros-ter have scored in double figures at least once this season, with only senior guard Amanda Tsipis yet to crack the 10-point mark.

Notre Dame also has had at least three double-figure scorers in all but three games (Purdue, No. 3 Tennessee, No. 16 West Virginia) this year, with a season-high seven in double digits at Georgetown (the most in one game for the Irish since Feb. 6, 1997 vs. Syracuse). What’s more, the Irish fielded five double-figure scorers in three consecutive games from Nov. 20-27. It’s believed to be the first time in school history (and certainly the first time in the Muffet McGraw era) the Irish have pulled off that feat of three straight games with five double-digit scorers, although records are in-complete prior to the 1983-84 season.

Protecting The PillNotre Dame has gotten off to a strong start this season, thanks in large part to its ability to take care of the basketball. The Irish rank 12th in the nation (as of Jan. 18) with just 14.4 turnovers per game and had a 30-game streak of committing 18 turnovers or fewer until being charged with 20 turnovers Jan. 8 at Louisville. The Irish took ball protection to a new level in their loss at No. 3 Maryland on Nov. 16. Notre Dame set a school record with only three turn-overs against the Terrapins, with two of those giveaways coming on offensive fouls. The previ-ous school record for fewest turnovers was six, set on Feb. 12, 2006 at DePaul. With only three turnovers, it probably comes as no surprise that Maryland did not register a steal against Notre Dame. However, what is sur-prising is that it was the first time in the 31-year history of the Irish program that an opponent did not record a steal against Notre Dame. Several opponents had only one steal vs. the Irish, with the most recent being Boston College on March 19, 2006 in the first round of the NCAA Tourna-ment (played at West Lafayette, Ind.).

Piping Hot TurnoversNotre Dame is forcing 23.0 turnovers per night and currently leads the BIG EAST with a +8.56 turnover margin, more than three takeaways better than second-place Connecticut. The Irish have caused at least 20 turnovers in 14 of 18 games this season, including a season-high 33 takeaways against Boston College on Nov. 24. Notre Dame has made even the strongest ball-handling teams struggle this season. In fact, Villanova came into its Jan. 16 game at the Joyce Center leading the nation with only 11.2 turnovers per game. However, the Wildcats left town with 24 turnovers, their highest single-game giveaway mark in more than six years (Dec. 1, 2001 at Temple).

The Five-Finger DiscountNotre Dame ranks second in BIG EAST in steals, averaging 12.28 thefts per game, including seven games this season where the Irish have collected at least 15 steals. What’s more, Notre Dame’s season-high 21 steals vs. Boston Col-lege were the most for the Irish in a single game since Dec. 13, 1997 (22 vs. South Florida at the Joyce Center). Individually, the Irish have seven players with at least 20 steals this season. Sophomore guard Ashley Barlow leads the way with 36 steals, tying for 12th in the BIG EAST in that category

The Best Offense Is A Good Defense…During the past 13 seasons, Notre Damehas discovered that a solid defensive effortcan almost certainly guarantee a victory. Infact,sincethebeginningof the1995-96sea-son (Notre Dame’s first in the BIG EASTConference), the Irish have a 180-11 (.942)recordwhentheyholdtheiropponentstolessthan60pointsinagame. NotreDameis12-1thisyearwhenholdingopponentsbelow60points,withNo.16WestVirginiatheloneexception(56-50onJan.13).

…But Sometimes You Have To Score If You Want To WinNot resting solely on its defensive laurels,Notre Dame also seemingly has found themagic mark when it comes to outscoringits opponents. During the past 13 seasons(1995-96topresent),theIrishare110-3(.973)whentheyscoreatleast80pointsinagame.The only blemishes on that record are a pairofovertime losses toTexasA&M (88-84)andMichiganState (87-83) in1995anda106-81losstoConnecticutin1998. Notre Dame has won all 10 games thisseasonwhenitreachesthe80-pointmark.

Now That’s A Home Court AdvantageOneofthehallmarksofNotreDame’ssuccesshasbeen itsstellarplayathome. In fact, theIrishhavebeenvirtuallyuntouchableathomein recent years,winning157of their last 176games(.892)atthe11,418-seatJoyceCenter,includingwinningstreaksof51and25gamesin that span. Notre Dame also has an 88-13(.871)recordinBIGEASTConferenceplayattheJoyceCenter,sportinga31-game leaguewinningstreakathomebeforeitendedwitha48-45losstoVillanovainthe’02homefinale.

The Irish have been particularly strongwhen it comes to non-conference games athome, winning 71 of their last 77 non-BIGEASTcontests(.922)attheJoyceCenter,dat-ing back to the 1994-95 season.
