On Wednesday night, the UConn women renew their rivalry with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend, Indiana. The two teams last met a year ago at Gampel Pavilion, where the Huskies came out with a 91-81 victory.
This year, Notre Dame will be coming in with a chip on its shoulder. While tonight’s game has been billed as a #1 vs #2 matchup, the Fighting Irish lost the top spot in the AP Poll to UConn despite not losing a game.
The leap is not unfounded, with the Huskies defeating no. 15 DePaul and no.
