Brey gets in the men's game and the reason is simple. No superstars are staying for four years in the men's game so that eliminates us from getting them. In the women's game the money in the WNBA stinks so no superstars are leaving early with the exception of Jewel Lloyd, the degrees they get from ND are meaningful even to the talented women players therefore it is so much easier for us to recruit a ton of the best women players.
I do love the way the women pass the ball and play the high low game but with the makeup of the men's team and the quickness and strength of mens' basketball the same things do not always work.
