Irish Breakdown answers listener/subscriber submitted questions about Notre Dame women's basketball on today's show. IB's Sean Stires, who is also the radio announcer for Irish women's hoops, is joined by Vince DeDario to answer questions. Some of today's questions include: * What needs to happen during the tournament for the team to win the national championship? * Has freshman post Kate Koval exceeded expectations, or simply met them so far? * Who is out of eligibility after this year, and who is likely to leave early? In other words, who will likely need to be replaced for next year? * Is the “we're all good” attitude on playing time, and ball possession starting to tarnish? Seems like the Louisville, and Va Tech game there were a handful of times, with an open shooter, a player had a face like no-no I'm getting mine. * Has Sonia Citron's role been reduced a little. Seems like she rarely gets 30+ minutes. * How much fun is it to watch Hannah Hidalgo? On TV it's like did she really just do that. Does it look more impressive in person? * Not surprised Liatu King is playing well. Do you think the offense should balance a little more to the inside? * This season ND football took a very aggressive approach to forcing depth to play in order to keep the team as fresh as possible for the playoff season. What does NDWBB do to get the players in peak physical condition for the postseason? Do these concerns impact Niele Ivey's substitution strategies? If yes, how do concerns affect her strategies? * What is the status of Emma Risch? Should we be concerned with her durability? Will she be able to take some minutes off the trio of Hannah, Olivia Miles & Sonia down the stretch? * Per ESPN's stats, ND has committed 325 turnovers in 21 games (15.47 avg per game). Having watched every game, the turnovers often come in bunches & are caused by various issues. Sometimes the lineups don't look comfortable working together yet; sometimes ball handling's an issue; sometimes passes are off target or are made without seeing a defender; sometimes the mental focus seems to drift. What can and should NDWBB be doing to cleanup this issue? As one example, to get you started, Cassandre Prosper has had dozens of turnovers where a pass goes offer hand(s) and out of bounds. Seems to me she needs to do some of those Pistol Pete drills where you rotate the ball around your torso & tap the ball from hand to hand. * With UCLA absolutely rolling & South Carolina looking dominant in all their games except the double digit loss to UCLA, how does ND matchup against those teams? * Niele Ivey has done a good job of utilizing our depth this year, but it's been hard to keep track of which players are playing on the court at the same time. Does Niele tend to play a limited number of lineups that have the same players in together at the same time? Or has she mixed and matched? * Liatu King has been phenomenal in many ways this season. Her addition to the team seems like a near perfect marriage based on her strengths & the role NDWBB needed King to play. Yet, she's only 20 for 44 shooting FTs, which is 45.5%. Once the postseason comes, teams with depth and size may play extra physical & force the referees to call fouls which could put Liatu on the line a lot in close games. Is NDWBB doing anything to improve her free throw shooting? Can ND sub in bigger lineups anytime she gets to the FT line in order to increase their chances of getting a rebound on her missed FTs? How else can ND minimize the damage of her missed free throws turning into easy rebounds for the other team? * I was trying to come up with a comparison for Hannah, and the best I came up with is that she is a female Allen Iverson. What are your thoughts? * Would you rather a backcourt of Jackie Young and Arike Ogunbowale or Miles and Hidalgo? * Do you think the team is having a hard time adjusting to the Hannah's playing style and Olivia's playing style. They are both amazing floor generals and at the same time very different players. * What is Coach Ivey's strategy for recruiting? It seems like she targets a few high level players and either gets them or not. Also her classes seem to usually be pretty small. * Also how are we losing out on a lot of top 100 in state recruits? * Lauren Betts UCLA-If ND ends up playing UCLA in the tournament, how much of a problem will she be (with her size 6'7” and game)? * What is our biggest weakness as a team? * What team or teams do you think will give ND the toughest matchup?

Irish Breakdown has plenty of Notre Dame football to talk about on today's Rapid Fire Friday edition of IB Nation Sports Talk. Some of the topics Sean Stires, Jesse Stires and Vince DeDario discuss on today's show include: * Fill-in the blank...New Notre Dame defensive coordinator Chris Ash needs to BLANK in his first season to make you feel good about his hiring. * ESPN's move to exercise their option with the ACC through 2036 includes Notre Dame playing more games against Clemson, Miami and Florida State. The Irish would play at least two of those three teams every year in rotation. Who benefits most from the arrangement: Notre Dame or the ACC? * Do you want programs like FSU, Clemson and Miami to be contenders every year to give Notre Dame the chance to have a better resume after they play them or are you content with just stacking wins regardless of how good they are? * Is Jaden Greathouse a breakout player candidate for next season or has he already broken out? * Fill-in the blank: Notre Dame women's basketball's new Allstate Insurance TV commercial that features Hannah Hidalgo, Sonia Citron, Maddy Westbeld, Liatu King, and Liza Karlen is BLANK. * Bill Belichick says they should rename the Lombardi Trophy, which goes to the Super Bowl winners, for Tom Brady because you can't win games without good players. Do you Buy or Sell it? * Fill-in the blank...It's BLANK that Tom Brady announced today that he's starting a weekly newsletter called “199”. He'll talk about sports, wellness, business, and other topics. * Dan Patrick says the NFL should mark the jerseys of Pro Bowl alternates because too many alternates get in and it shouldn't count on their resumes. Do you Buy or Sell it. * On a scale of 1 to 10...What's your interest in this weekend's Pro Bowl Games that take the place of what used to be the Pro Bowl? * We answer a listener question about our Mt.

What's our confidence that Freeman won't interview? * There's a lot of conversation on the fact that wo teams that wouldn't have made it into the old four-team CFP format last year are playing for the national championship this year and that diminishes the regular season. Do you Buy or Sell that? * College Football scheduled the semifinals and the national championship around the NFL's wild card weekend with CFP games on Thursday and Friday last week before wildcard weekend...and then the national championship game next Monday...which is after the NFL's divisional playoff round. Do you Buy or Sell keeping it that way going forward or should they play games on Saturday up against the NFL playoffs? * Hannah Hidalgo sat out Sunday's win at Clemson with a sore ankle. The Irish still won 67-58. Will she play in this week's game against Georgia Tech?

In addition, we preview the upcoming showdown with USC, focusing on Sarah Strong versus JuJu Watkins and what it will take for UConn to secure a statement win. Finally, we dive into a fun hypothetical draft debate—if underclassmen were eligible, would Sarah Strong go No. 1? Tee weighs in with his picks and thoughts on the future of women's basketball. Thanks for making Locked On UConn your first listen every day.

Tee Baker shares his thoughts on standout players like Sarah Strong, Ashlynn Shade, and Paige Bueckers and how they've kept the Huskies rolling despite injuries to Ayanna Patterson and Azzi Fudd. The conversation highlights the depth and adaptability of this UConn team, with contributions from Morgan Cheli, Allie Ziebell, and KK Arnold helping to fill key gaps. Tee discusses how UConn has handled adversity and offers insight into which player has stepped up the most during this challenging stretch. The segment ends with a discussion on whether UConn's depth can sustain their success into March. Segment 2: USC PreviewThe spotlight shifts to Saturday's highly anticipated matchup against USC. Tee and Mark dive into what makes USC such a tough opponent, from the physical play of Kiki Iriafen to the star power of JuJu Watkins. UConn's shooting efficiency and ability to handle USC's size in the paint are identified as critical factors in securing a win. The conversation also focuses on the marquee matchup between Sarah Strong and JuJu Watkins, exploring how this clash could set the tone for the game. Tee provides his predictions for the final score and key players to watch, while discussing how this game could shape UConn's trajectory for the season. Segment 3: Hypothetical Fun – Draft DebateIn the final segment, Mark and Tee have some fun debating a hypothetical WNBA Draft where underclassmen are eligible.

Show Summary Notre Dame hands UConn its first loss of the season in a dominant 79-68 performance, led by a star-making night from Hannah Hidalgo. The Fighting Irish were relentless, with Hidalgo putting up 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, showing why she's one of the brightest young stars in the game. While Paige Bueckers gave UConn fans hope with 25 points, it wasn't enough to overcome foul trouble for Sarah Strong, poor effort on situational defense, and key mental lapses throughout the game. In this episode, we'll break down where UConn faltered, how Notre Dame capitalized, and whether this was a symptom of an outdated offense or just growing pains for a team dealing with new players and injuries. From Hidalgo's brilliance to questions about UConn's effort and execution, we'll cover it all. Thanks for making Locked On UConn your first listen every day.

This weekend, two top-ten women's college basketball teams — the USC Trojans and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish — face off in Los Angeles. It will be a battle between two of the league's biggest stars, USC's Juju Watkins and Notre Dame's Hannah Hidalgo. Another player to watch coming this season is UConn's Paige Bueckers, but you already know that because she has been the player to watch since she was in middle school.  All three of these stars are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a fresh new season of women's college basketball unburdened from the discourse that dominated last season. Elle Duncan joins us to explain how the wave of excitement from last season shows no signs of stopping this year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
