Love’em or hate’em, award shows are entertaining. In the case of the ESPYs, they can be another marketing tool for a college athletic program — even one as prestigious as the Notre Dame women’s basketball team.
The Irish women are currently nominated in three categories.
They are nominated for “Best Team” in what will be a heated race. They are up against the Houston Astros, Philadelphia Eagles, US Women’s Hockey Team, Villanova Men’s Basketball and the Golden State Warriors.
That, my friends, is a category of champions.
They are also nominated for “Best Moment”, thanks to the buzzer-beater by Arike Ogunbowale to defeat Mississippi State in the National Champions game.
