The earth didn’t move; Notre Dame won. The second-ranked and first-seeded Fighting Irish defeated a plucky and at times inspired Iowa women’s basketball team 74-57 in an NCAA second-round game Tuesday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. It was not necessarily vintage Notre Dame 2013, but it was a pretty impressive show. What’s impressive about the Irish is [...]
IOWA CITY, Ia. — Don’t be fooled by the final score. The ninth-seeded Iowa women’s basketball team played well in Tuesday’s 74-57 loss to top-seeded Notre Dame.

Notre Dame wasn’t always the Notre Dame you see today with a No. 1 seed and coming off two consecutive trips to the national championship game.

The script was reversed Sunday with the Little People on the court for UT-Martin while the Fighting Irish, minus the leprechaun, had all the big people. Skyhawk mighty mite Heather Butler, generously listed at 5-foot-5, was nearly impossible to defend, but the Irish had too many easy inside baskets and pulled away to a 97-64 victory in an NCAA opening round game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
