An Inside Look at Notre Dame's Senior Day Win!

Notre Dame's 89 - 75 win over North Carolina State -- and North Carolina's win over Duke Saturday night -- clinched a #4 seed for the Fighting Irish in this week's ACC Tournament!

What Many Forgot About ND's 31 - 1 Season

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are now 31 - 1 on a season the pundits never saw coming.  The preseason rankings had the Irish in the bottom half of the TOP TEN -- because All-American Jewell Loyd left early for the WNBA Draft...

Then another McDonald's All-American, Taya Reimer, left the team just a few games into the season...

Now, five months later -- you can call them the #2 ranked team in the land -- and ACC Champions.

Maybe Muffet's best coaching job of her Hall of Fame career.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
