Miami vs. Notre Dame Full Game Replay | 2023-24 ACC Women’s Basketball

Deo’s teammate from the 2001 National Championship team and the current head coach the LI in her fourth season she is 3-1 as a head coach against Miami doing such a great job in that head coaching spot love to see my old teammate out there making things happen that they all

M Mo so the opening tip goes out of bounds and it will be Miami basketball they’re in the traveling black Notre Dame and the home white Miami is looking for its first win here in Notre Dame Indiana since 2003 trying to make history today Kelly

Yeah and I was curious to see how Notre Dame would come out defensively and they start in a Zone and this is a Miami team with a quick foul early for Notre Dame but a team that actually has been shooting the three-point ball better than they have

In recent years and so with the Zone obviously you elect to make that a more open shot for Miami we’ll see if they can take advantage yeah Miami is fourth in the conference in three-point shooting 35% despite that Miss from D Day Wilson to get us [Applause] started Watson in the congested area

Looking for a second effort sends it back out to Wolf number 13 in white honored prior to the game that hit she went over 2,000 career points that one knocked away from westbeld and taken by Miami and immediately you see what that Miami defense is trying to do Clogg the paint

Up inside that was a good high low look just too many hands on it Miami is 11 and four this season one and three in conference play coming off a loss on Thursday at number 11 Virginia Tech and another Miss for the canes here’s a doggo Citron three-point

Attempt Roberts great box out for Miami everyone with a body on a Notre Dame player [Applause] trying to go inside oldacre tough shot she was double teamed and missed great diagonal look to see oldacre on that far block westbeld Quick Pass inside that’s a tough shot and Watson unable to convert and

You see early the attention that the Notre Dame bigs are getting inside I like that Neel Ivy is continuing to go inside the paint because once you get past that first line of defense I think that there could be an advantage if those post players can get that high low

Pass going uh better than it has earlier Dave Wilson missed a three attempt but a foul coming up against Notre Dame and Kylie Watson so here’s the snapshot for Katie Meyer’s team they struggle from three-point distance in the loss of Virginia Texas three of 18 second best though in the conference

In limiting the offense from the opposition and they spread the leading scoring around so far this season older and they’re playing against Notre Dame who leads the conference in points per game and there’s a three that falls goodlooking shot by the Jalia Will Williams and we mentioned earlier day

Wilson an excellent shooter there are quite a few people that can put up the long ball with consistency so we finally see a made basket the teams have combined to miss their first eight shots now the struggles continue for the Irish and West Bel Miami wants to run trying

To beat everybody to the glass and the layup from Williams well that’s why the rebounding is so important for Miami cuz they want to get out in the break really good pass out of transition Dogo puts it up she’s off the mark Miami again in transition with Williams [Applause] Patrick hgo waiting for

Reinforcements Marshall there it is that’s been open on a few occasions as Notre Dame comes down in transition that trailing post or guard has gotten a shot so Marshall gets the Irish on the board here in the first quarter and to drop it low a traveling violation against

Miami so the Irish come in 11 and three for Co Jai two and2 in conference play fact that represents their last four games Kelly you mentioned the offense 86 points per game coach I and and you see that Matty westfeld 100th career start it’s incredible she’s started every game

She’s played in and you go back to those losses that they suffered one against just recently they lost to UNCC that was without MADD westbelt she was out in concussion protocol and then you see what she does when she gets back on the floor Marshall again in a steel hogo

Scooped to the rim and She lays it in and the Irish take the 65 lead cold start for Notre Dame but a quick Four Points in the last few [Applause] seconds coming off the Win Thursday on their home floor for the Irish against Boston College 9848 they shot 57% of the team in that game dominated the boards as well 55 to 30 against the Eagles they produce a turnover and go westbeld was a catch in tight quarters

And they’ll turn it back over to Miami love the collapsing defense on the Baseline back when Miami had it on offense Notre Dame all over the posts early and you know I do not I don’t hate a Zone I know a lot of basketball purists love the manto man but I’ll tell

You what we won a national championship in a two3 Zone and I am all for it if it’s active the way that Notre Dame has been playing [Applause] it that pass goes out of bounds and it will go back to the Irish it’s a fourth turnover in the first quarter for

Miami West Bell the turnaround big rebound inside for Miami and Vore bre back the other way off the classing good wire on the Move that’s what dwire does so well she it’s like she’s dribbling around cones you do that in those early young days when you’re trying to get your ball handling going

And and she’s just dribbling around players as if nobody’s going to touch her gets all the way to the [Applause] rim West Bel has it working on the Block had it knocked away for a moment Second Chance ball on the Baseline out of bounds and it will stay with the Irish

So we’ll take a time out with Miami up one Katie Meyers family in the house and watching Katie Lee the Hurricanes against the Irish more on that in a minute this week on CW Courtside Saturday Virginia Tech family members behind the bench but of course the

Weather deterred that I got to talk to brother Terry who’s back there in the orange and he was just giving me some great stories about their early travel days and of course mom Phyllis and stepdad Howard who is 94 they don’t miss a game I know you’re watching and I hope

You don’t mind me telling some old stories of you but Katie or Terry was telling us you know the only kind of car that would fit a family of 10 only one manufacturer made it it was a Dodge Maxi van and he said you should have watched

Us pulling up to church 10 people coming out of that car and all piling into a place and we just had the best memories uh early on of of being able to travel and uh and actually Katie’s wife Hunter told me about a time they used to have a

Um a a different kind of car and Katie a station wagon Katie would lay on the back of the seat or on the back of the floor that was her spot and her siblings would sit in that back row and put their feet on her I mean I guess that is what

You have to do when you’re the youngest when you’re the youngest and and among seven other siblings but just so many great stories and they are just so proud of their little sister Hall of Fame playing career at Duke was the head coach at Charlotte before going to Coral Gables

Been there ever since 19th season and all the way to the regional final last year in fact Virginia Tech went to the final for Louisville was in a regional final and Miami also in a regional final what a season last year for the ACC with eight teams in the tournament and

Currently six teams ranked Miami with the basketball inside of four minutes to go in our first quarter Hilton on the drive it’s a difficult shot deflected Away by West beld and she grabbed it Citron on the bounce trying to switch hands taken right back by Miami on the [Applause]

Run wire sends it inside big Collision two players hit the deck out of bounds Notre Dame doing a really good job recently of picking up in that transition defense finding Shooters they’re not all collapsing into the paint there are guards who have gotten out to that three-point line and Miami’s

Not able to get much off the transition game Miami three of nine shooting that’ll help the percentages inside Hilton close range as easy as you could draw it up right there great out of bounds play and execution Laya Hilton the sophomore from Moga Ontario Canada and a transfer from Arizona averaging

Just over seven points per game West Bel not name as missed its last seven shot attempts the wolf offensive glass Branford that’s the sixth offensive rebound for Notre Dame Miami is got to do a better job of putting the body on a Notre Dame player Brer 13.6 boards 25

Minutes off the bench and the win against Boston College for the sophomore from Cincinnati Ohio Doo tried to strip it away from DWI 3 second violation against Miami so Dave Wilson coming back into the lineup Wilson has been such an great addition to this Miami team obviously a team that lost a lot to that Elite eight team that was so good last season D Wilson a transfer from duke and she is one of those that’s helped with that

Three-point percentage because she’s come in and really taken on a lot of the scoring responsibility doggo launching the three-pointer and a big reaction after making that three from number three for the Irish nobody takes more nobody makes more three-pointers on his Notre Dame roster than the Freshman hialgo

Hilton bounces off to Bransford lost the handle knocked around day Wilson free throw line and that’s been one of the only open looks that Miami has been able to have the two3 Zone has has been looking really good as they Notre Dame has packed it in day Wilson was the leading

Scorer with 19 points on the road at Virginia Tech and the losing effort made a couple of Threes Bransford eyes for the rim Spearman was the closest hurricane KK Bransford has really been increasing her confidence and you can see it on the floor there were some games early on in

The season where she just looked more tentative would try to be a passer instead of a scorer and that’s not how she played last year she was a big part of what Notre Dame and did last season and their success so great to see her with more that offensive attack

Mode Bransford at the free throw line 78% of the season now eight of the 13 points for the Irish From the Bench [Applause] production Baker going to muscle her way up double team branchford came in able to bounce that one in kind bounce me purcel Pavilion for oldaker I don’t know

How oldacre got that shot up Notre Dame defense did a great job of collapsing to make it hard for her but really strong posts inside she is the 66 sophomore from Barcelona Spain West Bell the Miss Miami potential two onone doggo get back of the play and

Stripped it away eyes are always up every time Miami gets a rebound their eyes are up toward their end of the floor trying to get transition good drive D misses that one 35 seconds to go in the first quarter the wolf pull up midrange and a the wolf continues to add

Over 2,000 points now in her career graduate student from Cumberland Maine four years at forom playing in her 126th Collegiate game this afternoon just 10 seconds now for Miami looking for that final shot of the quarter and trailing by two dwire over Westell bounces out old acre got tangled up there with Watson

They’re going to get old AER for the foul for second yeah and that’s important because 66 you don’t have a sub that comes in with her height or her size inside ladimore a really good substitution she’s been playing well lately but two fouls early is not easy

Westfeld Hees it three quarter court so despite shooting just 29% of that first this year hialgo got the the Notre Dame record quite a few freshman had come through getting six and now she is alone at seven and is a Miss Notre Dame but yeah she is hunting at 10 and I don’t

Know I think she’d get it I I’ve Got a Feeling see how the season develops we are on the road to Greensboro North Carolina home of the ACC women’s tournament in March that’s Watson difficult shot post have had the look but they have not been able to fall with consistency inside J

Wilson now Hilton teing up a three both sides of the rim vlore fed it inside good work by Latimore Roberts benefits yeah the double on Latimore leaves the cutter wide open she finds the pass really good finish Dongo some kind of twisting shot in the paint splits the def defense also

There was some contact it looked like still able to put it down she’s had some very animated reactions to her baskets that’s what makes her so fun to cheer for you know and you never see her have this bad attitude she is always positive always an energy player Hilton sneaking in

Almost had it Citron knocked it away and now up ahead to Wolf trying to cross it over against a Wilson safety valve is citron that’s a three so where Notre Dame has gotten better in their transition defense picking up the three-point line Miami has not been able to do that they have

Left players wide open along that three-point line or just inside off a transition so Citron with her first three of the game she’s now made 10 on the season and Notre is two of five from beond The Arc ball out of bounds and Notre Dame ball watch the cross look at

This splits the defense gets to the Middle with some contact and the finish and the reaction you got to love it and how about the kick out that’s the best play right there in transition everyone’s crowded into the paint turn and find your shooter Sonia sitr puts it

In the doggo this season her first game of the year was against number one South Carolina all she did was scor 31 points to set a freshman debut School record and then December 21st against Western Michigan she had a triple double 26 points 11 boards 10 assists Marshall kept it alive Neil iy

Just keeps getting these freshmen who have come in and made such an impact on Notre Dame early Bransford baset andou well that’s the shot because we you’d seen Notre Dame a few different times look for that high low so there were so many Defenders inside the paint

Look at inside you’ve got players two underneath nobody takes Bransford and she knocks it down it’s important to hit those shots early so that you become an offensive threat Bransford averaging close to nine points per game this season that’s an old school three-point play from KK

Bransford and it’s an 80 Notre Dame run to take the eight-point lead back the other way the wolf goes to the court to save it the Dogo Scoops it up doggo from the free throw line leaning into the jumper timeout Miami you love the reaction from The Freshman getting inside the paint with

The attitude afterward what a fresh Skelly I mean it this is incredible only player to accomplish this in the last 25 years at any any level those numbers are astounding you know there was a stat just brought to my attention the only player in two players in a major

Conference that averaged over 20 points a game five rebounds and five assists you’ve heard of them Caitlyn Clark and Hannah hadalo pretty good company yeah Clark’s team with the win against Indiana yesterday and now hadalo and her teammate trying to defend the home court where this season they

Are six and one at home I just got like a Flash Forward can you imagine those two on an Olympic team together the kind of offensive prowess and oh so much fun to watch about an NCAA tournament maybe a final four or something they’d be against each other then I I was putting

Them together on the same team but yes I can see that as well last year Notre a to the Sweet 16 in the semi-finals of the ACC tournament against [Applause] Louisville doing all of that without Olivia miles who was hurt late in the season and you do you know you have to

Wonder too what would this season look like with Olivia miles healthy how different would Hannah hialgo be looking if she was not if all the responsibility of that point guard position was not onago to Citron West Bell trying to get that shot away comes up short on the attempt westbeld has not scored supp have been so close inside just cannot put it down Miami has to do a much better job of taking care of the basketball they have 10 turnovers already in this game

Good high low look but that has turned in to 15 points off those turnovers that’s essentially how Notre Dame has gotten this lead Hilton is up to four points now 34% shooting in the game so far for the Irish it’s well below their season average of 48% which is the best in the

Conference Bransford couple of power dribbles and to the rim I love it I love it as I said when you’re struggling with confidence and I have been there it is so hard you just want to have one of these games and there’s the Deep defense the nation’s leader in steals picks up

Another one and the foul so hialgo going to the free throw line Second foul on day Wilson this is the third steal already in this game for Hannah Hidalgo look at jumping passing Lanes anticipates draws contact what doesn’t she do game high 20 27 points in the win on

Thursday against Boston College it would be hard to find another player that’s so vital for their team completely right there’s so many players that that score well and and many we could name name them but what she does defensively is just so [Applause] special so a traveling violation against

Westfeld struggles continue over from the floor for mat westfeld prior to that Notre Dame picked up yet another offensive board Katie Meyer has got to be frustrated with her team and and their lack of just finding a body and checking them out all the way to the regional final

Season to go 22 and 13 was also the first sweet 16 for Katie Meers her head coaching career St Wilson will rock the three ball that’s what Miami needs some more offense some more production that could start some momentum shift Theo driving down the lane J Wilson hurries it up around

Centron what a move five quick points for dve Wilson than she’s taken what her coach has said to heart and really been that offensive Factor spent two years at Duke averages close to 10 points per game cheyen day Wilson number 30 in black straight away Citron it’s a three Citron doesn’t need

A lot of time or space and just knocks that one down you got to be all over day Wilson with the way she’s been scoring Hilton spinning bravs the front rim ahead westbeld on the catch turned right into the double team Spearman was there defensively up ahead Roberts runs the floor knocked

Away hgo at the very last second the quick hands and her ability to get back on defense doesn’t take a play off that’s what makes her so special she doesn’t come back on defense and relax that’s actually what she wants to do she’s even though she’s so good offensively I think

She’s more defensive [Applause] minded B called against Miami on that play Roberts first against Roberts ball back to the Irish 12 turnovers in the first half now for Miami I think that Miami needs to do a better job of pressuring in their full court press they they put it on but Notre Dame

Has not had a problem with it at all and that’s not the Miami team that we’re used to seeing yeah that’s what we’re used to seeing poking the ball out getting in passing lanes over playing the doggo difficult shot up for the rebound Patrick doggo hustles back knocks it away to the wolf

The wolf between the legs there’s the shot pretty move I think Notre Dame is at a different level than they were earlier this season players are coming in and they know their roles and they’re filling them they’re not trying to go outside of themselves and that is what

Makes a very good team and and Neil iy has to be pleased with the way her team has come out today 18 points off of Miami turnovers and that’s another offensive foul against a driving DWI and so another Miami turn over 15 now for them here’s the man-to-man defense which is

So important when you play Miami you have got to contain penetration an De Wolf does a really good job of getting into position and taking contact Irish number 18 in the country two and two in their last four games all ACC games prior to this afternoon little reach in from D

There that’s her secondi and result in free throws for the Irish the l i has had to suffer through a lot of injuries you know you look down at that bench and there are a lot of people that could be big time additions on on that on that

Bench but you know she’s had to be a have have to play without them but but I think she has to be pleased with who’s on the floor Matty Westell being back and healthy and you know other players stepping in coming up on the int Turbo Tax halftime report news and notes around

The Conference highlights and stats and oh a trip down memory lane get the tissues ready here in Notre Dame Indiana and Purcell Pavilion at the joy Center got NE Kelly d teammates on the 01 national championship team feels like yesterday the win in St Louis and the celebration was on D Wilson Off

The Mark kept Alive by The KES important possession deep into the shot clock Patrick with the Miss well that’s what the Zone has done it’s forced Miami into outside an outside shooting team yes they’ve done better but they don’t want to rely on their three-point shooting and the Zone was a great call

By Neil Avy because they packed it in the paint when you watch Miami play normally they are taking people off the dribble and getting inside to get easy looks at the basket not today Miami now just two of 11 on three-point shots they are not a bad three-point shooting team

Third in the conference Bransford had it blocked as Latimore came Over Natasha ladimore Junior from Toronto Ontario Canada and the transfer from Texas she was part of the Big 12 championship team West belt driving and it’ll spin on in and she’s into the box score and headed to the free throw line and finally one of those shots goes in for

The post it almost went out though look at this goes in hard with the contact looks like it was going to take a roll out if you saw a shot Shar of Notre Dame’s post players right now inside the paint you’d see a lot of unmade shots a

Lot of these shots have been made from the guards outside or when they when they get in but finally post players with some production you know Tom I love her seventh double double in her effort against Boston College on Thursday with 15 points 15 boards and five of nine

Shooting connected on a couple of Threes as well she’s got her first points up the afternoon 3722 Irish late in our second quarter second chance good Hustle by Spearman Latimore on the offensive blast free throws up coming for Spearman M just looks uncomfortable they look out of sync they’re they’re

Not getting what they want and you even saw Spearman at the top of the free throw line hesitating to take a shot and then drives to the bucket and kind of takes an off balance shot so again really a lot of credit to this Notre Dame defense and how they’ve been able

To stop inside penetration first free throw of the game right here from Miami the Spearman at the line Falls in for the 41% free throw shooter and that also stops a 90 run by the Irish Zaria Spearman the sophomore couple of double doubles this season one of two from the

Line a good hustle from Patrick just didn’t get the result after that hustle play back to the Irish West Bel wearing the mask for a precautionary reason as Kelly mentioned loss against North Carolina a week ago on this four she did not play in that game suffering from a

Concussion but back into the lineup last couple of games and we showed you the double double against BC for West Bel well and that’s a good indication of what she does to this team and not only just what she did personally but as she r on Q hits another one but what her

Place on the floor does that was a Notre Dame was just under the century mark in that game the the the point production was easy to come by and when you have a team that you’ve got parts that are doing what they’re supposed to that’s what it generates yeah they built a 20po

Halftime lead against BC and never look back they get their sixth home win of the season final minute of play late in the shot clock Spearman Latimore now the turnaround westbeld has it westbeld the leading rebounder for this team in third in the conference just under 10 [Applause]

Game the doggo and Bransford are getting the double digits Doo’s shot was erased by Latimore and out of bounds will the biggest stars gather at the 29th annual Critics Choice Awards hosted by Chelsea Handler it’s live tonight 700 p.m. Eastern 400 p.m. Pacific on the CW critics Joyce Awards coming up

Awards being racked up this season by henah Hado at the preow line Latimore picked up the foul for Miami to put H doo in we don’t have enough time in this broadcast to talk about what she has done in her freshman season and I think what I like so much

About her is she’s such a likable kid you know off the floor She is nothing like what you see on the I mean that doesn’t make her like unlikable but she’s she’s quiet she’s a little subdued she’s got a deep faith loves her family loves her friends and and then you see

This like just what she does on the floor and how everything just opens up and and she will be the recipient of a hard screen and Patrick ends up with the foul that’s the first on Patrick and we asked coach Ivy about all the accolades that she’s received you can understand

Over confidence that coach iy said not even close very very levelheaded as Kelly mentioned quiet confidence from The Ref freshman she and theel have lots of conversations and watch a lot of film together and it’s a special bond she has with her her coach again 20 points or

More 12 times this season well on her way with 11 to lead all scorers in the first half and here are the final seconds that’s a carry against the doo she may disagree with that just the fifth turnover of the first for the Irish but even that right you’d see a

Lot of players get mad right or put their head down or whatever that’s not what she does she’s always up she’s always for the sake of the team everyone can look at her and say how should we act how should we react that’s what you want from your point card she is an

Extension of her coach on the floor final seconds for the canes and day Wilson on the hop into Bransford Marshall came over to knock it away Spearman at the horn and bounces out and a foul was called right at the end of the quarter I was about to say wow Nat

Marshall did such a good job of disrupting what Miami was trying to do coming in for the double tipping it away but Spearman great job to stay with it we’re going to get a look at it here look at the Double download Marshall almost gets her hands on it Spearman

Picks it up two Defenders on her and the foul is called they’re going to check to see if that was before yeah it looks like it was might be a little bit of time left on the clock Miami’s trying to respond after a 7652 loss at Virginia Tech te on

Thursday Virginia Tech the defending champs of the ACC tournament after three in a row from westm at NC State the noted name program when it came into the league won four straight ACC tournaments under the legend and Hall of Famer Muffet McGraw whose statue was dedicated this season outside of Purcell

Pavilion in the joy Center such a great thing first female statue on campus and what she has meant she is Notre Dame women’s basketball she she put Notre Dame on the map and the just trying to take over and walk in those shoes two national championships and 936 wins the

Lv’s team in her fourth season will Str this season Kelly with the halftime lead they are 10 and0 on the year and the steel to Wolf trying to win the race to the basket back yeah not what Katy Meyer wanted to see coming right out of that

Halftime speech where likely a lot of it was about taking care of the ball and immediately not Hannah Hado this time but Anna deol gets her hand on it bringing it all the way down but a good block stepped on the Baseline by the way Miami just recently

Said an ACC record 13 blocks in a game against wake older had six of those might need that on the defensive end gets the Irish in the second half to make up the six 15 Point deficit Williams going Euro Step had an awkward Landing it looked like but still

Able to get that shot in and that’s more of what Miami wants transition game off of a make off of a Miss they want to run the floor and they’ve got to do that more in this second half Williams a veteran player her 84th game in the

Miami uniform and now a steal from Patrick trying to go up against westbeld uncontested for Patrick so where you don’t like that quick turnover for Miami this is Miami basketball turn you over and turn that into points they’re pressuring a lot more than we saw them in the first and second

Quarters first four points of the second half along to Miami remember they LED five nothing to start the game before the Irish came back to take the lead Watson against two Defenders just barreling down the lane and an offensive foul against Watson oldaker you know he’s that hard

Position where she’s standing with two fouls so she has to be careful but Patrick in great position to take that charge I thought pardon me I I thought that she had the the free throw jumper Kylie Watson I thought she should have taken that picked up her second foul in the

Process another chance for the canes old AER tribes into the paint Jay [Applause] Wilson Roberts and a travel possession really never developed for Miami in a positive fashion that two3 zone can often look like a manto man because of how how well Notre Dame is picking up players in

Their area they’ve got their hands up it was not a timid Zone by any [Applause] means Irish with three of seven three-pointers in the first half Citron on the handle now had two of them and now Patrick takes it away that’s an easy layup timeout Notre aim two quick

Turnovers for Patrick in the same scenario Wow first six point West Bell then she does it with Sonia Citron the guard just Taps it controls it and finishes Jada Patrick just about right on her season average with seven points in the game now did not score in that game

Against Virginia Tech on Thursday and missed all eight of her shots so good news for Patrick and the kanes westbeld against the double turnaround is off line old AER gathers go creating Havoc wrestled it away and the arrow favors Notre Dame I just she’s always thinking look at

This look turns as if she’s going to run down and then just a quick change comes back gets her hand on the ball forces the tie up Notre D possession that’s why you got to love her she doesn’t just have the offensive flare this could be some offensive flare

Ripping the ropes for the Irish hanaho if that won’t get people in the seats I don’t know what will this is the worth the cost of admission to see this girl play and then the block from Watson it went out of bounds on the drive by Patrick Watson has not scored in the game Irish by 13 Miami in [Applause] possession shock clock to five Williams just got it away and beats the clock well defended but really good runner by Williams to finish and there’s the pressure Miami trying to get another turnover and they do R belt

Travels so four quick turnovers in this quarter already for Notre and they only had five Kelly in the entire first half for the Irish sometimes you just need that halftime talk right Katy Meer has done enough of those through her career she knows what to say to these players and

How they’ll respond and you got to be pleased with this Miami team second half 19 seasons on that Miami bench for Katie Meyers and D Wilson elevates and hits Citron able to gather and then J Wilson surprised at that whistle from Meadow over Street was right on top of the call

And the third foul on day Wilson yeah that’s going to be significant remember she is really has become an offensive threat for Miami nine points leads her team in scoring right now she’s going to have to be careful theago shedding the [Applause] defender keep it at this end of the floor So day Wilson has to come out with those three personal fouls he’s got nine points in the game and is the leading scorer right now for Miami but on the bench for Katy [Applause] Meyer theago tries the three again catches a little bit of Rim kept alive Bransford reload Citron good catch by Williams on a tough pass inside of 6 minutes to go in the third quarter Notre aame led by 16 at halftime shot clock down to [Applause] seven traveling old ler

That’s turnover number 19 against Miami and that’s just a Personnel situation you don’t want the ball in Old acr’s hands that far outside the lane she is a back to the basket turn and score the one are putting the ball on the floor Irish hosted the first and second

Rounds of the NCAA tournament a season ago that’s the goal again this year hadalo Westell Marshall and that’s what I was looking for early in the game is that high low look or just the post play in general Nat Marshall gets that one to fall she has been excellent and another steal for

Hannah Hidalgo and puts it in you kidding me 16 points six Steals and two boards we’re not on triple double watch yet but she stays on on the glass we could get close and the Irish as a team Now 26 points off of Miami turnovers seems like just a moment ago

Miami had cut the lead to 10 now Citron Patrick chance to run for Miami hiago is back and contact on the defensive end by hadalo against dwire so we’ll take the timeout Notre Dame has the lead over the visiting Miami Hurricane on the CW so is such a special

Player average is just over 24 points per game best in the ACC third in the nation for the Freshman from haddenfield New Jersey she’s a gamer you know there are some players that can be flashy and they can do some good things but she is the

Type of player that is going to be play even better when the lights are on her right in that NCAA tournament or ACC tournament uh and you know who knows how far this team could go with a player like her and what is around her and I

And I don’t want to disrespect anybody else on the floor this is a team for Notre Dame they have so many Collective players that do so many good things this Irish program five times a winner at the ACC women’s tournament last coming in 2019 there 27 overall trips to the NCAA

Tournament and another one expected this season Marshall on the cut couldn’t finish sh off from Bransford the wolf went for the steal here’s DWI along the Baseline lost and taken by Hidalgo three on two he’s looking for the individual effort wire got a piece of the doo as

She was speeding by Third on dwire another deal for hialgo and number continues to climb and I just want to go back to a moment ago go Matt Marshall just what a cut a just as that earlier possession almost in off the glass for West Bell but n Marshall has been such a

Great key to this team coming off the bench putting in great minutes she plays good defense she knows what she’s supposed to do offensively and she’s locked in really having a great season inside of 3 and 1/2 minutes to go in the quarter and another turnover as westbeld has the interception 22

Turnovers by [Applause] Miami it’s a whistle underneath official toisa green on top of the call First on Williams this is the only regular season meeting between the programs last plate here here in South Bend in February of 2022 and a 5953 win for Notre Dame knocked away inside it

Will stay with the Irish yeah that should have been Westell shot right there n Marshall had a couple players defending her down in the post and Westell such a great shooter from outside the game between the teams last season in Miami in December of 2022 was close a

6663 win on the road for the Irish as Bransford grabs it back Marshall elbow rims out Westell unselfish Bransford had it knocked away at the last second fight for the loose ball the arrow favors Miami so if you’re the canes right now they get it on the possession arrow the time is now late in the third quarter down 4735 yeah it has to be and and I would go back to we haven’t seen it a lot in this game but I think Miami has

To do a better job of taking the ball off the dribble and getting inside they’ve got to rotate the ball get some openings against this Zone dribble penetration to those spots yeah High post short Corner that’s the area you want to expose against the Zone 22 of

Miami’s points have come in the paint in this game this is D Wilson slammed on the brakes missed the jumper [Applause] hialgo hialgo off the glass and good headed to the free throw line what body control weaving through traffic gets contact the shake off the glass she’s like of course and the flex

That’s right she knew what was going in foul was the fourth on dwire so D has to go to the Miami bench doggo at the free throw line 78% on the season from the stripe for the Freshman Ando picks up full court I’d be concerned if I’m Miami nation’s leader in [Applause]

Steals Alo just a point away from her 13th game this season with 20 points or more in a Timeout taken by Katie Meyer and Miami down by 15 the halftime lead was 60 40 to2 four for Notre Dame Miami scored the first six points of our second half

Tuesday on inside the NFL nobody breaks down games like our crew with highlights and Analysis you won’t find anywhere else this week the guys take a look back at Super Wildcard Weekend and get you ready for the divisional round Inside the NFL Tuesday 87 Central only on the

CW most of that action outside luckily today we are inside when I was driving over over to the arena the temperature gauge on my car went from -2 to -3 wow and it’s gotten a little bit colder since well I got into South Bend at like 1:00 a.m. and it was5

At that point last late last night and I’ll tell you what I’m a Minnesota kid but I forgot about this cold this is why I live in Virginia and yet these fans of the Irish consistently turning out here at purcel Pavilion to support their team this is a place where

Notre Dame wins 82% of its games on this floor in this facility which opened back in 1968 by the way I have a great memory of 23 years ago tomorrow January 23 years ago I’m So Young January 15th Martin Luther King Day on a Monday literally it

Could not be more perfect and it was the first sellout crowd in Notre Dame women’s basketball history we played unbeaten Yukon we’ never beat them in 11 tries we were also unbeaten and we came into this place and won by 15 or 16 I can’t remember somebody can send me a

Text I think it was 16 I okay there it is and it was the most incredible win outside of that National Championship that I have ever experienced well the team you beat in the semi-finals on the road to the National Championship yon that’s right we lost one time during the

Regular season to them we also lost to Ruckers but once to to Yukon and then in end up beating them by 50 in the semi-finals so those are the Big East days yeah and the record for that 01 national championship game is mentioned 34 and2 in the national championship

Game in St Louis against Purdue 6866 in the semifinals against Yukon 90 to 75 Kelly Deo in the national title game I have the box score out of the newspaper right front ofont remember what that is 10 points nine rebounds six assists for Deo in the national championship performance wow wow

Crazy that was were good days and so fun to you know there’s something special about being the first to do something at your school and um we knew we had the pieces we knew you know what a great coaching staff it was incredible to be coached by m MRA and just the knowledge

We didn’t even know how much she was teaching us but uh we were so knowledgeable about the game and understood things at a high level and and we just had such a special connection we were a team Le group you know I mean the the coaches were

Wonderful but we wanted it as much as they did and so we were very team Le team focused and uh got the result of a championship also a national title here at Notre Dame in 2018 the championship game win against Mississippi State the semi-final win against Yukon not in Columbus Ohio and

What a run by Miami last year to get all the way to the Regal finals I was so proud of Katy Meyer and this this ball Club you know it’s it’s rare to be coaching as long as she has and you know and and she’s still getting better you

Know like often times people have great success early on in their coaching career no Katie Meyer keeps getting better and by the way when you go to a elite eight you got some great players that want to come play for you number nine recruiting class in the country for

Miami coming in next season how about that they lost in the regional Final in Greenville South Carolina to LSU 5442 how about the games leading up to that Regional final wins against Oklahoma State Indiana and Villanova by a combined eight points right down to the wire and all the way to the regional

Final best performance by the women’s team at Miami in school history Destiny Harden went on to be drafted into the WNBA number 27th pick by the Phoenix Mercury another one of Miami great to go to the league the travel will give it back to Miami with 25 seconds to go in the

Quarter and trailing 5335 five points for westbeld in the game just two of 13 shooting hasn’t affected the outcome so Far Bransford and hadalo double digit scorers and hialgo leads everyone with 19 points 7 of 15 shooting five rebounds as [Applause] well Hilton slightly offline with the Three and the clock he’s going to run out here in this quarter Citron it would not have counted for Citron her at full strength yeah the good news yesterday at practice she was involved in some of the drills not 100% full speed Citron off the glass great body control by Citron to

Catch it come down even with the defense and go up first 20-point lead of the game for the Irish who built a 16-point halftime lead that is citron who HS the floor going back to Notre Dame injuries though you know there are a couple on that bench that are not able to play

Emma Rish who is a phenomenal freshman just a lights out shooter is is out for the season had surgery on her hip and Kasam Prosper also out with a lower leg Injury Citron that was in Rhythm demanded the pass and converted the three that’s a player who also came back from injury had a sprained knee and her back in the lineup has been all Notre Dame has needed came back in that UNC game it’s just her sixth game of the season

Today for Citron he’s got 11 points double figures in all six games that she’s played in so far this season and 56 times in her career to get to double digits for the Junior from East Chester New York well if you know basketball at a at a fundamental level you love Sony sron

Because you see how much she does all the little things angles the way she can score her defense she is just a tremendous basketball Talent with an incredibly high IQ M Dame lost that first game of the season of South Carolina to 71 and then one nine in a

Row losses at Syracuse and home against North Carolina in conference play what a way to start out the basketball season by the way Notre Dame in South Carolina in Paris France wow D Wilson on the drive so that snaps a 15 to one run by Notre

Dame Citron back to the other way well defended and taken back by the Hurricanes it’s been tough to win here for Miami over the years just two wins all time in 13 meetings today the 14th here at ccel Pavilion between the programs and the foul goes against Notre well you’ve got

To think if people teams are watching film on this game everybody who plays Miami should come out in the zone because what what Notre Dame has been able to do in limiting the attack by Miami limiting the post play oldaker has two points Latimore no points in this game but with significant playing

Time and they have just suffocated the paint That’s DWI pain in scoring dwire gets in old Acer just 14 minutes of action in this game as we play in the fourth [Applause] quarter Doo D Wilson up ahead the Speedy dwire she’s up to seven points in the

Game R shade dwire the Junior from Toronto Ontario [Applause] Canada the doo was trying to fight through to the rim and pushed a Wilson second on her dog up yeah pushed her into the screen because she saw the back door opportunity I know exactly what she was

Thinking and here comes the screen by Bransford pushed her up so she could cut back and the official was in the right spot to see him wrong spot for [Applause] HDO turnovers an issue this afternoon for Miami Miami’s got to find that high post or short Corner area to get a pressure

Release against the zone Patrick goes in hard with the contact that’s a good looking play high post area now that creates a one-on-one for Patrick to get to the Lane good pass and now that’s oneon-one with Nat Marshall and it’s a hard shot to defend third on

Marshall Patrick able to convert on the three-point play and Miami all of a sudden Kelly that’s a 90 [Applause] run brands for triple teams shot clock is down to five for hialgo trying to work off of the Marshall screen foul was C 1.4 seconds on the shot clock yeah those are

Hard things to watch as a coach older in the right spot her fourth foul picks it up got her with the body but a clean block Notre Dame at that point was just trying to find any daylight as the Clock Was winding down nothing working offensively that was a really good stand

Until that foul by Miami 20 points now for hadalo after the free throw 13th time this season in 15 games 20 points or more make it 21 for hialgo lson and Virginia Tech that’ll be our match up in ACC women’s basketball next Sunday on the CW have the men’s double header on

Saturday CW court side Saturday got you covered on the [Applause] weekends oldaker on the weak side fighting for that ball stemman missed on the initial shot Attempt didn’t see what happened between the two of them but by the time the ball had bounced on the rim those two were already falling to the floor so they gave it to westbeld as oldacre will come out for ktie Meyer third foul on Westbeld off of the inbounds play Spearman for Miami coaches love that coming Fresh Out From the Bench and immediately attack it’s over and back and that’s exactly what Miami wants a quick score then they turn they turn Notre Dame over now they have an opportunity to score and try to continue

To cut into this lead they got to work fast though time not on their side right now Kane’s Trail by 18 after the third [Applause] quarter trying to continue to cut into this lead for the Irish D Wilson stemman tried the other side unsuccessfully Hidalgo to her left and the

Wolf not get the bounce Oh I thought dve Wilson got away with a travel there but even still Spearman D Wilson she wanted that ball right back and she got blocked by Marshall a Watson rather on the Block and together this unlikely Duo makes the perfect pair the CW’s brand

New show wild cards premieres this Wednesday January 17th 87 Central right here on the CW fans of all ages enjoying the afternoon of ACC women’s basketball Miami and Notre Dame the 31st edition of the series Notre Dame has dominated here purcel Pavilion they’re 11 and two

At home against Miami and DWI old AER and D Wilson who just picked up her fourth in trouble for Miami and now that full court pressure looks a little more active and Matty Westell with an open Lane can’t get it to fall Watson was able to grab

It 15 offensive rebounds in the game for the [Applause] Irish led by as many as 23 in this game that is Williams with the contact third on Williams M Dame has done a better job had five turnovers at halftime many turnovers to start that third quarter

They’ve done a better job sitting at 13 right now 24 turnovers for the Miami Hurricanes by the way almost half of Notre Dame’s points have come off of Miami’s turnovers 29 of the 60 points that will be an area of a lot of film watching I imagine in the practices and

Film sessions to come West Bell trying to maintain her footing and she traveled couldn’t do it so Miami gets the ball back and right now Kelly they’re in the middle of an 11-2 run traveling by 14 just over four minutes to go yeah and that time factor

Is going to play in here if this were the third quarter or the beginning of the fourth things could look a little bit different but right now you can tell Notre Dame is trying to take as much time as they can on the offensive end but that high post pass that’s where

Miami wants to get it things start happening when you can penetrate that zone with a pass or dribble Miami just two of 18 on three-pointers and now two of 19 long rebound and that is off of Hidalgo Williams able to bounce that one off of hialgo look close to a foul as hadalo

Was keeping Williams on her back look at the way that Williams after it I was almost certain a foul was going to be called but great Hustle by Williams to maintain The Possession pay attention in the front row here at purel Pavilion I almost CAU a pass I thought a moment Ago stman bounces ahead and the Wolf thought about a pass could not maintain the pivot foot and by rule traveling violation I know I know what she’s thinking she wants to send it ahead and then in that moment she’s thinking no no we want to hold we want

To take time off the clock go ahead and pass it let hadal go do her [Applause] thing trying to bounce it low and it’s lost 26 turnovers is a season High the wolf Hado what an assist well that’s the assist she wanted earlier just didn’t go

After it I like that she did it this time Anna dwol is such a seasoned player and you see that in her game she knows how to score clearly she’s picked up a couple Steals on the defensive end so good as Patrick gets that three to

Fall so for Miami just their third made three on 20 attempts as Patrick hits the three Miami is not a poor three-point shooting team 35% and fourth best in the ACC on the season season although they have struggled against Notre Dame today next week next Saturday court side

Saturday on the CW Virginia Tech NC State North Carolina undefeated in conference play headed to Boston College in Chestnut Hill to take on the Eagles noon Eastern for Virginia Tech at NC State 5- one in their last six games that only loss was two North Carolina which is the highest ranked ACC

Team North Carolina Duke and Clemson in the rankings and they will take on Boston College Connie for will be the site of our game second part of CW Courtside Saturday double header coming up next week Notre Dame has held the lead in this game for the vast majority of the

Time on the clock Miami went on an 11-2 run here in the fourth quarter to make it interesting the doggo’s been the difference I’m not the first person to say that this season 23 points six rebounds couple of three-pointers has a couple of assists as well Miami LED 98 that was their last

Lead they scored the first five points of the game I was waiting for you to say it but seven Steels to go along with it and the Seven steel my favorite stat thank you for the assist K I got you you got one assist one for me Doo hustling

And laying it in why not add to it and almost another steal as she got her hand on the inbound there never stops never takes a play [Applause] off that’s a strong move to the bucket Spearman yeah Miami needed more of that in this game Spearman has had some good games this season and she’s so long and athletic and I think she’s still trying to find her place on this team and and look for those opportunities where she

Can score now in this game she’s been able to come up with a couple big ones in the second half Spearman has a couple of double doubles this season looks like d Wilson has picked up her fifth personal foul so disqualification for her on the fifth personal

Does not want to go to that bench for sure I think she’s saying I only got four that is a reluctant walk to the bench for day Wilson Duke transfer in this Miami program former ACC rookie of the year when she was at Duke I’ll tell you what I I understand I

I would want to play for Katie Meyer too she is one of of my favorite coaches in this league obviously across the way is you know that be my ultimate favorite also one of my besties but Katie Meer I like I just want to hang out with her

You know I want I want the three of us to go just go for lunch after the game she is just so much fun just every time you’re with it you know we could bring plenty of people get in that van and drive all the way back

To Wheaten Illinois we got the family with us unfortunately not the result that she and the family members were looking for today by the way in on that note I got to just tell this last story uh and I was talking to her wife Hunter and she was saying that her that Katie’s

Favorite story about driving with her family there she is um she is when she was 3 years old and her team was at or her her team essentially her family was at church and they all got in that big you know van and they left without haen

She’s 3 years old at church nobody notices they made a movie about this right yeah no nobody goes until everyone gets home and they’re all dressing for their little sporting events and they get a call from the nuns and they say hey we have a Catherine here and the m

And Phyllis says no there’s no there’s no Catherine and and then she hears Katie in the voice Mom it’s me so they go pile everyone back in the van and get to church and they said where they had to go in and just like overwhelmingly

Say how much they loved her and how they would never leave her and the story is that she got all the Bulls of cereal that she wanted afterward that was her reward for being left but you know it happens she deserved it absolutely the baby of the family sometimes you’re

Forgotten and nobody’s forgetting her now I’ll tell you that done very very well programmed to the regional final a season too against the vental champ LSU late in the shot clock for the Irish it will bounce out of bounds and be Miami basketball and you know you see right

There coach Meyer her team trailing with 140 to go but high level of of encouragement for her players it’s a long road to Greensboro it’s only mid January plenty of basketball to [Applause] play fact Thursday how about the challenge for Miami on Thursday when they will host NC

State and Miami had a game against Louisville could have come up with that win at home against obviously ranked Louisville and ended up losing that one but this is a team it’s they they’ve not come out the way I expected probably the way that most would expect

We thought a little more control on the offensive end maybe turn Notre Dame over a little bit more but they’ll get back so they are in the midst of this is the second game against four straight ranked opponents Virginia Tech on Thursday today against the Irish NC State North

Carolina then Duke wake and Florida State also ranked and those last two in early February on the road that Louisville game you’re talking about Kelly that was December 31st at home against then number 19 Louisville 7772 final that game featured 12 ties and 17 lead changes and just coming out

Of the short end for Miami in that game they will drop to one and four in conference play and now the Irish with what appears to be a victory today in conference action will go to three and two wi with an athletic move to the

And that’s what it’s like to play in the ACC this is what these players signed up for they knew that game in and game out in ACCC conference they are going to play tough opponents and they’re going to be asked to bring their very best final 50 seconds of our fourth [Applause]

Quarter the doo pumping up a three Watson was fighting inside with Spearman looks like they’re going to get Watson for West Bel so shots for Miami and [Applause] Spearman Miami was three and three to this game this afternoon ACC losses to Louisville at home which we mentioned losses on the road at Boston College and then Thursday at Virginia [Applause] Tech the last win is going to be last

Sunday January 7th against wake 7747 at home for Miami that’s the game you mentioned where they had the 13 blocks to set a School record all right let’s take a look at our player of the game brought to you by Progressive Insurance save when you bundle Auto home or motorcycle

Insurance visit progressive.com yeah I was going to guess it but my guess would have been Hannah right it’s the name we’ve been saying most of the day Hannah hogo 25 points 7 boards seven Steals and we’re still she got 35 seconds to add to that she may but what a performance what a

Player and what she has been able to do to help this Notre Dame team with the injury to Olivia miles stepping in as a freshman taking over not just the point guard position but the leadership on the floor she’s directing her team they’re looking to her to make decisions and she has not

Disappointed couple of road games coming up for the Irish Thursday at Virginia and then next Sunday at w forest for the second meeting with the deakes and then their next home game January 25th and that’s against Syracuse they might be looking forward to that one after losing at the Dome December 31st

8681 and then Connecticut on the road Conneticut also a team that has been riddled with injury so dwire may have picked up her so Kelly if you Notre Dame it wasn’t an outstanding shooting game just 35% as a team and they they started the afternoon as the top shooting team in the

Conference at 48% but the turnovers that they created and not only that but turning those mishaps and miscues by Miami into points be to win yeah and and that was obviously the difference in the game they have forced 26 turnovers and scored 31 points off of them and you

That’s what when you go back and watch film that that’s the number one thing it’s not going to be the rebounding it’s not going to be know Notre Dame was crushing Miami on the offensive glass earlier in the half that will not be the story it will be Notre Dame’s defense

Forcing Miami in turnovers fourth made three of the game for Miami they right about 40% shoes in this game final 20 seconds the Irish will improve to 12 and three Miami drops to 11 and five Notre Dame 3 and2 in conference play Miami now one and four in the

Conference wait a minute 1.7 remaining Hannah thought less time was on the clock and was throwing the ball to the official but it went out of bounds I mean it’s about the only thing she’s done wrong all day just delaying the inevitable point we knew it was going to be a battle Miami

Always plays Notre Dame hard the defense we thought would come from the Miami side in fact

At home in South Bend, the #18 Fighting Irish took care of business at home against the Hurricanes, getting the 70-59 victory. Notre Dame scored 31 points off of a season-high 26 turnovers by the Hurricanes. Hannah Hidalgo continues to play like a Play of the Year candidate, finishing the game with 25 points, seven rebounds, seven steals, and two rebounds. Sonia Citron added 15 points and four rebounds. For Miami, Jaida Patrick had a team-high 15 points and six rebounds.
