ND Beats Three Top 10 Teams in 5 HOURS!


"...WHAT THOUGH THE ODDS BE GREAT OR SMALL...."

It might have been the five greatest "non-football" hours in the 124-year history of Notre Dame Athletics.  See this UND.COM video highlighting this five-hour period!

At approximately 6:25 PM ET -- Muffet McGraw's Fighting Irish women's basketball team was beating #2 ranked UCONN in OT at Purcell Pavillion 74 - 67 -- snapping UCONN's 57 game Big East winning streak!

I wonder if one school has ever beaten three top 10 teams in less than five hours -- with two wins in OT and two wins on the road!  A great evening to be a fan of the Fighting Irish!

WOW!
