I'm not definind success as beating UConn or South Carolina. I'm defining
success as being able to beat the top teams in your own league. That's what you have to do to win your league. Marquette was not able to beat UConn more than once while Duffy was their coach. And thus she never won that league.
So my concern is, can she beat the top teasm in the ACC? I hope so, but great coaches find a way to do more with less. Now if you want to say that winning the ACC is not our goal, then fine we can lower our expectations.
BTW, ND has a 2-1 record against UConn over the last 3 years so there are teams that can beat them.

Any Marquette WBB? Wonder if they’re in a soap opera @ the moment. **
