SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw believes parity might finally hit womens basketball after seeing Connecticut win an unprecedented fourth consecutive title last postseason.I think well have a year where maybe well see a different No. 1 every other week like the men had last year, which I thought was really exciting -- unless were the ones that are not No. 1, she joked Monday.The Fighting Irish, like Baylor, Tennessee, Stanford and several other teams, have most of their best players returning. The Huskies lost three-time AP Player of the Year Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson.McGraw said shes hoping there is parity.I think its going to be great for the game, she said. This was the year nobody lost a lot of talent except for Connecticut. So I think that really evens things out.McGraw, who guided the Irish to a national championship in 2001, believes this years Irish team might be the most talented shes coached. She believes 6-3 forward Brianna Turner (14.6 points, 7.3 rebounds), the Atlantic Coast Conference player and defensive player of the year as the Irish went 33-2 last season, is the nations best player and senior Lindsay Allen, who averaged 9.3 points and 5.8 assists, is the best point guard.Allen has started every game in her three seasons at Notre Dame, leading the Irish to a 106-6 record.The Irish had gone to five straight Final Fours until they were upset 90-82 by Stanford in a regional semifinal last postseason, only their second loss in the past three seasons to a team other than Connecticut. Gone from that Irish team are Madison Cable (13.7 points) and Michaela Mabrey (6.8 points), but the Irish add a pair of talented freshmen in Jackie Young and Erin Boley, and get back Ali Patberg, who sat out her freshman year after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee.Despite being confident in her team, McGraw said she wouldnt rank the Irish No. 1 to begin the season.I would put us in the top five. There are a lot of good teams this time of year, she said. We havent earned anything. I want to earn it.

Cyber Monday Basketball Jerseys .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Ricky Stuart is one of 18 coaches who promised, and ultimately failed, to take Cronulla to the promised land.But should his replacement Shane Flanagan be the one to finally lead them there, if they topple Melbourne in Sundays NRL decider, then Stuart will only be glad for him.Rumours of bad blood between Stuart and Flanagan had circled in recent years, and it reached fever pitch when Stuart criticised the Sharks style of play a fortnight ago.But the newly crowned Dally M coach of the year rejected any suggestion of ill-feeling between the pair, and said any perceived animosity was made up by the media.Theres nothing in the relationship with Shane and I. Id love to see Shane win a competition and experience it as a young coach. I think itd be great for him, Stuart said.I have a soft spot for Cronulla in regards to their growth and development as a club. Im friends with (chairman) Damien Keogh and Im friends with their deputy chairman.Theres a relationship there with the club. I would love to see them win a grand final.However, Stuart admitted he had a foot in botth camps for this years grand final, having also grown a strong friendship with Melbourne counterpart Craig Bellamy.ddddddddddddIn an association that stems from their playing days at Canberra, the duo are renowned for their post-game tradition of bringing a beer into the losers sheds after their teams clash.Stuart, who made the finals once in his four seasons in the Shire before dramatically leaving in 2010, said he was torn on who he wanted to see win on Sunday.I know what it means for the Cronulla supporters in being involved in the game this weekend. Its something that theyve hung for, for many years. Itd be lovely if it happened, he said.Lovely for Shane, Paul Gallen and Mick Ennis. Mick whos retiring and Paul who hasnt won a competition before.But for Craig Bellamy (too), whos my mate. I cant say it any more honestly. I havent got a team to win. I just know theres a great feeling and storyline there for either group of people. ' ' '
