ESPN Has Muffet's IRISH Favored to Win SEC!


Now, I'm sure if Notre Dame did play in the SEC we would be favored to win their women's basketball tournament -- see last line of copy on today's ESPN Women's Basketball home page! 

Hey ESPN -- we're in the ACC now!

Perfection -- Notre Dame Beats #13 by 24 Today!


This season will go down in history -- the first year in the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame go 29 - 0 !!!

That's 52 consecutive regular season wins for Muffet's gang!

This was also the 9th win this season against a ranked opponent as North Carolina State came into the game ranked #13.  Notre Dame disposed of them early in the second half, taking an eight point halftime lead and stretching it to 30, before emptying the bench and winning 84 - 60.

Notre Dame outscored their opponents  by 527 points on the season -- an average margin of victory of 18.17 points per game.  DOMINATION!

Notre Dame Recruit -- Texas State Finals MVP!


Brianna Turner (with ball in photo above) finished her high school basketball career last night -- with a "double-double" (17 points and 17 rebounds), a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, a FINALS MVP (that's Brianna holding her award in the photo above), and a win over MaxPreps #1 ranked team in women's high school basketball -- who was on a 105 game winning streak...

Turner, considered by many the #1 incoming women's college basketball recruit, will be wearing a Notre Dame jersey this fall!
