Business As Usual No. 2 Irish make history again with win at No. 1 UConn By Lou Somogyi W ith the graduation of three starters/mainstays from the past two NCAA Championship finalists, Notre Dame was projected to take a step back to Sweet 16 — maybe Elite 8 — level this season. The memo never reached head coach Muffet McGraw's Fighting Irish, who climbed to No. 2 in the Associated Press poll Jan. 7 after a thrilling 73-72 victory at Connecticut two days earlier in front of 10,127 spectators and a national television audience. The Irish then improved to 13-1 with a 75-71 overtime victory at South Florida Jan. 8. Two free throws by senior All-American point guard Skylar Diggins Junior guard Kayla McBride, who led the team in scoring (15.4 points per game) during its 13-1 start, tallied a career-high 21 points in the victory over the top-ranked Huskies. photo by bill panzica
