So apparently Jewel's injury is day to day. She should miss the game against Miami, but should come back pretty soon. That is mighty good news.

This week's NCAA RPI didn't include the UTN game so ND remained at #6 with a 16-0 record.

RealTime RPI moved ND up to #5.


Sagarin's new Predicator Model moves ND up to #3, a 0.07 point underdog to #2 Duke and a 6.65 dog to #1 Con. Sagarin lists NDs schedule as 12th toughest to date.

No. 2 Notre Dame's leading scorer Jewell Loyd has a sprained right knee and is listed as day-to-day.

Coach Muffet McGraw said earlier Tuesday that Loyd, who is averaging 16.9 points and 6.1 rebounds a game, likely would miss Thursday's game when the Fighting Irish (17-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) play Miami (11-7, 3-2 ACC), but that was before Loyd had been seen by a doctor. Team spokesman Chris Masters said Loyd's status was upgraded to day-to-day after seeing the doctor.

Loyd had twisted her ankle when a Tennessee player stepped on her foot as she ran during Notre Dame's 86-70 victory Monday night, but McGraw said the injury was to her knee.
