TAMPA, Fla. -- One year ago, Notre Dame won its second NCAA championship with a 61-58 victory against Mississippi State. What's perhaps more memorable, however, is the way the Fighting Irish won it.
The game was tied with just two seconds to play when Notre Dame guard Arike Ogunbowale's desperation 3-pointer went in. Ogunbowale had another buzzer beater two days before in the NCAA semifinal against Connecticut, hitting a deep jumper in a tie game to give Notre Dame an 91-89 victory.
On Sunday, Baylor (36-1) will play Ogunbowale and the Fighting Irish (35-3) for its third NCAA women's basketball championship.
