The regional semifinals are coming into focus. Sunday delivered three upsets. Will Monday bring more? The Irish are in their third straight Sweet 16.
Will Monday's second-round games -- every contest is on ESPN Networks and the ESPN App -- bring more upsets?
They are, having won 10 games in a row, which includes the ACC tournament title. The Irish controlled Monday's victory over Ole Miss from an offensive and defensive standpoint. They shot 50% from the field and forced the Rebels into 22 turnovers. Ole Miss at its best typically wins the turnover battle, but that wasn't the case against Notre Dame.
The Irish's big three of Hannah Hidalgo, Sonia Citron and Maddy Westbeld combined for 56 points, and Citron had her first double-double of the season with 10 rebounds.The Irish are relying very heavily on their starters; Westbeld and Citron played 40 minutes and Hidalgo 38. But they are pretty used to the heavy workload, so this isn't new and the Irish have handled it well so far. They will go against a good defensive team in Oregon State that is holding teams to 59.2 PPG.
