It was an epic battle women's basketball super power, UConn and Skylar Diggins and her Notre Dame Fight Irish Saturday night. The two top ranking teams battled it out on both ends, scrapping for every loose ball and rebound. With every blow that UConn swung at the Irish, Notre Dame ducked and countered. After being down 61-57 with a little under four minutes to go, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish fought back with tenacious defense to tie the score and send the game into overtime. In overtime, UConn did not hit a field goal in the final 3:49 of the game. UConn had an uncharacteristic 27 turnovers, which makes it hard to pull out a victory against any ball club. Skylar Diggins, on top of playing unbelievable defense, scored 22 points for Notre Dame, 16 in the second half and overtime. Do the Fighting Irish have UConn's #? Last spring the heavily favored, UConn Lady Huskies were upset in the NCAA tournament by .......Notre Dame! Takeover? Shift in power? The Fighting Irish have a little more to prove, like winning the ships, but we could be witnessing the new power in women's college basketball!
.......OK BAYLOR FANS DON'T BLOW A FUSE.
