Off to Europe With a New Team & Identity!

Muffet McGraw's Fightin' Irish are in Europe for the next ten days -- learning to play basketball without Skylar Diggins.  Notre Dame will play three (3) exhibition games in London, Madrid and Barcelona.  Tough duty!

This extra time together should prove invaluable as Muffet weaves in one of the top recruiting classes in the country.  I'm anxious to see how the freshmen play.  Unfortunately, sophomore sensation Jewell Loyd sprained her ankle and won't see any action...
