It took 45 minutes -- but the IRISH are in the National Championship game for the second straight year!!!!
Notre Dame beat UCONN 83 - 75 behind Brittany Mallory and Skylar Diggin's heroics in OT!
It's the first time a Geno Auriemma UCONN team has ever lost three games to one team in the same season. And, for the second straight year -- Muffet's Irish take out UCONN in the National Semi-Final.
That is FOUR WINS OVER UCONN IN THE LAST FIVE GAMES -- but who's counting!

GREAT JOB IRISH!!!
