Former Notre Dame cornerback Jaden Mickey is again on the move, this time joining a 2025 Fighting Irish opponent.

USA Today's Jordan Mendoza tells us why the Fighting Irish women's basketball team for being number one right now.

The No. 1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish present a serious problem for opponents: there’s no easy way to stop them. Whether it’s Hannah Hidalgo’s speed or Olivia Miles’ playmaking, defenses have to pick their poison when dealing with the superstar guard duo.

While the backcourt is a huge reason why Notre Dame has been one of the nation's elite teams this season, forward Liatu King has quietly proven she could be the X-factor as March Madness approaches. The Irish have the No.

For the first time in the 111 years of program history, Louisville has earned five road wins with a margin of victory of 20 points or more: at Virginia (20), at Syracuse (24), at SMU (25), at Boston College (26) and at NC State (25). Louisville’s average margin of victory in its ACC wins is 16.5 points.

While sidelined last season, the All-American playmaker gained a new perspective that has helped the Fighting Irish become the best 3-point shooting team in women’s college basketball.
