The only word any Bulldog anywhere could think of was stunned. As a matter of fact, speechless could be an even better description. Just when superstars Teaira McCowan and Victoria Vivians had Mississippi State in control, the Irish flipped the script in the blink of an eye. Ogunbowale has been a superstar all year, and her consecutive buzzer beaters in Columbus showed why. Though this is a tough pill to swallow, coach Vic Schaefer and the Bulldogs will be back sooner rather than later.
While McCowan was her usual self with 18 points, 17 boards, two steals, and two blocks, Notre Dame implemented the perfect strategy to take her out of the game when it mattered most.
