Muffet's Gang Going Back to the ELITE EIGHT!
For those of you counting -- it's FIVE STRAIGHT TRIPS to the ELITE EIGHT for the FIGHTING IRISH!
Notre Dame beat Stanford (the only team to beat UCONN) 81 - 60 in Oklahoma City!
Notre Dame pulled away midway through the second half with what I'm going to start calling a "SHAKE DOWN THE THUNDER RUN" -- for both of our basketball programs.
Now the Irish play Baylor Sunday night at 8:30 PM ET on ESPN for a trip to the FINAL FOUR!

Great Game Tonight on ESPN: ND vs Stanford
You better get ready for a LATE GAME tonight! The #1 seeded Fighting Irish play an opponent they haven't seen in 23 years -- #4 seed Stanford -- in a game that is scheduled to tip-off at 10 PM ET on ESPN. That is not a typo!
The Irish are in Oklahoma City -- playing what I believe to be the toughest opponent of any of the #1 seeds in the country in their SWEET SIXTEEN game. Stanford handed UCONN their only loss of the season in November...
Notre Dame has never beaten Stanford in women's basketball -- that needs to change tonight! Here's some of the media coverage coming out of Oklahoma City:
