McGraw added that she doesn't expect to change her offen­ sive philosophy considerably, because pull-up jumpers are working best for Notre Dame this season. The Chippewas have spread the ball around on offense this season. Their leading scorer so far is guard Angel Chan (12 .0 points per game), while guards Latisha Luckett (11.3) and Shonda Long (9.7) are not far behind. Even though Central Michigan does not have any post players as tall as Notre Dame's duo of 6-foot-3 Erica Williamson and 6-foot-5 Melissa D'Amico, it has five 6-footers on the roster, which could create matchup problems for the Irish.
