Hopefully the refs don't take Hidalgo out of the game

She's been just on the edge of foul trouble in the last two games.

Hidalgo is making history.

What an absolute joy it’s been to watch her the last few weeks.

It's essential for the origin story.

I want us to drive Geno into retirement.

One of those categories was steals!

She's just a crazy electric player. She willed that team to victory.

ND couldn't inbound the ball. KK Bransford just threw the ball up, Vandy's offside defender sagged, nearly stole the ball, and somehow Hidalgo ends up with the ball to and makes the assist to prosper. Just a awesome play that put ND in the lead.

Before that, after Vandy tied it, ND put Hannah on Vandy's AA (Blakes) and she forced a steal to put ND up.

Just a gutty individual performance of putting a team on her back,

It sucks to be in UConn's region --

but maybe we can give them a game.

Agreed. She really is electric.

She was coming out of nowhere to make steal after steal in the game. Just a joy to watch her compete.

Her (Niele) EOG embrace with Hidalgo

I think shows how much pressure both felt to get this win and advance further than last years team.

She is WBB Allen Iverson

and it is a historic sports travesty that she's not first-team AA. None of those other stiffs ahead of her could have carried an entire team against their will to E8. They made two shots outside the paint the entire game, and won! She's 1A to Austin Carr on the BB list, and she's not fucking done yet

Ivey has gotten quite a bit of heat

And she isn't going any further this year, but this was one hell of a coaching job. Superhuman effort by Hannah, but Ivey kept it together when, at times, this season appeared to be going off the rails.

And as much crap as she's gotten, she has been to the Sweet 16 5 years in a row. Which isn't nothing, even with ND's recent history.

1st time in 5yrs
