Muffet's Irish "Put 120" on the Pitt Panthers!


How do you score 120 points in a college basketball game against a legitimate Division 1 program?

Well, Muffet McGraw's #2 ranked team know the answer to that question!

Last night the Lady Irish roared pass Pittsburgh 120 - 44.  And, to think this isn't the highest scoring night for Notre Dame this season.  That took place 19 days ago when the Irish scored 124 in a rout of Mercer in Atlanta.

Last night's victory margin -- 76 points is the largest ever for ND over a Big East opponent.  The Irish set or tied six school records:

  1. Most field goals made:  48 -- also a Big East record for most field goals made in the regular season, old record was 46 by Providence back in 1986
  2. Margin of victory in Big East game: 76 points 
  3. Margin of victory in a home game:  76 points  (tied a record set last January)
  4. Most points in a home game:  120 points
  5. Most points in a Big East game:  120 points
  6. Most players in double figures:  Eight (tied a record set in 2009)
