The IRISH Dominate ACC All-Tournament Team!

Notre Dame's Jewell Loyd and Brianna Turner were named to the ACC Tournament First Team and Taya Reimer and Madison Cable were named to the Second Team...

How Lindsay Allen didn't get named to one of those two teams -- I'll never know.

Jewell received the ACC Tournament's Most Outstanding Player award -- see photo above.

ACC CHAMPS - TWO IN A ROW for the IRISH!

Muffet's Fighting Irish beat the Florida State Seminoles 71 - 58 to win BACK TO BACK ACC Tournament Championships -- in their first two years in this conference.

STAT OF THE DAY:  Florida State was the only team in all of college basketball (Men & Women) to outrebound every opponent this season -- until today!  The Fighting Irish outrebounded the Seminoles 40 - 27!

The IRISH are now 31 - 2 and a lock to get a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and I'm guessing the #2 seed overall, behind UCONN.

Jewell Loyd was named the ACC Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

Now, it's time to rest -- wait for next week's announcement on the NCAA Tournament.
