Irish face Oklahoma in third round of NCAA
The No. 2-seed Irish will travel to Kansas City, Mo., for their eighth Sweet 16 appearance in the past 14 seasons and a matchup with No. 3-seed Oklahoma. Notre Dame (29-5) defeated Oklahoma (25-10) on Nov. 28 in the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands, 81-71, and will look to repeat that performance Sunday.
Diggins’ 31 lead Irish to K.C. for round of 16
During Notre Dame's first-round victory over Cleveland State Sunday, freshman guard Skylar Diggins made a caree-low one field goal in four attempts. After the game, Irish coach Muffet McGraw said she wished Diggins would take more shots. What a difference a game can make.
McGraw has team on brink of Sweet 16 berth
The Irish got their postseason jitters out of the way Sunday with an easy win over Cleveland State in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Now they will look to earn a ticket to the Sweet 16 in the team's last home game.
The No. 2-seed Irish used their depth to wear down a spirited Cleveland State team and overcome a 31-point performance by Vikings guard Kailey Klein in an 86-58 victory in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Sunday at the Purcell Pavilion.
The Irish have the advantage of playing in their home gym for the first two games of the tournament, an advantage not lost on freshman guard Skylar Diggins.
"It is always good to have the crowd on your side, and this crowd is so electric," Diggins said. "They know that the crowd is not going to be on their side, so they are going to come in and we expect them to come out with a chip on their shoulders."
