I'm not a big fan of Women's BBall, but I'm always a huge fan of any ND team actually achieving and exceeding expectations.

Can't believe how badly UCONN has utterly choked in crunch time these past two games. Talk about EPIC errors. What's better is that this probably pushes UCONN to the other side of the bracket where they are the best matchup with Baylor of all teams so there's a chance they take care of Brittney "I Swear I'm a Girl but I Turn Down the Olympics because I'm Afraid of Gender Testing" Greiner... ND is truly a horrible matchup with Baylor because of their athletic guards and crazy size mismatch inside.
Happy B'day, PGTF!
Notre Dame Earns 18th Consecutive NCAA Women's Basketball Championship Berth
NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- For the 18th consecutive season, and the 20th time in school history, Notre Dame has earned a berth in the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship, having received the BIG EAST Conference's automatic berth into this year's field by winning its first BIG EAST Championship title last week. The Fighting Irish are the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Championship's Norfolk Region -- the second consecutive year and third time in program history they have earned a top seed -- and will play 16th-seeded Tennessee-Martin (the Ohio Valley Conference tournament champion) at 5:05 p.m. ET Sunday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa.
The game will be televised by ESPN2 as part of that network's "whiparound coverage," while viewers in the South Bend market, as well as those watching on the Internet at WatchESPN (formerly ESPN3.com), will see the game in its entirety. However, the majority of ESPN2 viewers nationwide will be shuttled between all four games in that time slot, including the Notre Dame-UT Martin contest. All Fighting Irish games also can be heard live on the radio in the Michiana area on Pulse FM (96.9/92.1), as well as worldwide on the Internet at UND.com with veteran broadcaster Bob Nagle on the call.
Eighth-seeded Miami (Fla.) and No. 9 seed (and sub-regional host) Iowa will square off in Sunday's other first-round Norfolk Region game in Iowa City (approximately 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff on ESPN2), with the two first-round winners advancing to a March 26 second-round contest at 9:30 p.m. ET -- the television coverage is still to be announced.

Irish pull away near the end of the half. Up 49-31
#2 Irish Roll Past UT Martin, 97-64 In NCAA Opener - UND.COM - University of Notre Dame Official Athletic Site
... Notre Dame extended its current winning streak to a school-record 27 games, third-longest of any sport in school history (next up is 1965-67 men's tennis, which won 29 in a row) ... the Fighting Irish collected their 32nd win of the season, the third-most in a single season in school history behind only the 2000-01 club (34-2) and last year's squad (35-4).
... the Fighting Irish set a program record for free throw percentage in an NCAA tournament game, connecting on a season-best 95 percent (19-of-20) of their foul shots -- the previous mark was 91.7 percent (22-of-24) on March 25, 2008, in an NCAA Oklahoma City Region second-round win over Oklahoma in West Lafayette, Ind.
... the Fighting Irish set a program record for NCAA tournament play by allowing UT Martin to grab just 14 rebounds, five fewer than the previous low-water mark (19 by San Diego on March 17, 2000, in a Mideast Region first-round game at Purcell Pavilion)
... the +35 rebounding margin topped the program record for an NCAA tournament game set on March 17, 2001 (+26 vs. Alcorn State at Purcell Pavilion)
