The next era of college basketball stars wasted no time in establishing themselves on the national stage Monday on the first day of the 2023-24 women’s basketball season. It was the freshmen who made the most noise as No. 6-ranked South Carolina and No. 10 Notre Dame opened the slate in the first college basketball game played in Paris, France.
MiLaysia Fulwiley shattered her way into highlight reels the way she scored her 17 points in a 100-71 South Carolina victory. Hannah Hidalgo scored a game-high 31 points, nearly half of the scoring total for Notre Dame, which began its season without point guard Olivia Miles after her knee injury in March.
