I'm don't necessarily believe Brown is better than McCowan. McCowan is a better rebounder and shot-blocker.

Regardless, both were beatable last year. Brown got outplayed in the tourney by a player, Gulich, who ND held to 10 pts, 9 rebounds.

The games ND has lost in recent years have not been to teams with massive centers like Brown or McCowan. UConn hasn't had a true center since Dolson. Louisville doesn't a have a true center. We've had more problems with versatile 6-2 and 6-3 players like Myisha Hines-Allen or Stanford's Erica McCall.

We have the starting center from our national championship team returning plus an All-American center returning from injury. Why should we be worried?
Hines-Allen was one of the most difficult opponents I can

remember. She always played well against us.

I respect her game quite a bit.
To hear you, we'll have the best inside game in the country.

Our outside game ain't bad either. *
