Baylor is 36-1 and Notre Dame is 35-3 on the season with Baylor having a 28 game winning streak and Notre Dame with a 14 game winning streak on the line.

Another time out for Muffett.

Fighting Irish are currently shooting at 7.7%.

Only 1 of 13 shots have gone in for them.

Loving our Baylor defense right now!!!

Arike gets And1, didn't see the foul, must have been down low

Muffet clearly asked the refs to look more closely at Brown on the 3-second call. She gets away with that more often than we'd probably like to admit.
