Notre Dame has four players averaging double figures, led by sophomore Hannah Hidalgo (23.9), followed by Olivia Miles (16.7), Liatu King (13.7) and Sonia Citron (12-7).

Texas is also balanced, with Madison Booker leading a group of four in double figures with a 16.0 average.

This will be the first matchup between the two Power 4 schools in 27 years, as they last faced each other on March 17, 1997 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where Notre Dame won 86-83. With the entire series tied 1-1, the Irish have played both previous games in Austin, Texas and will host the Longhorns for the first time ever.

The Big 12 Tournament Champs, coached by Vic Schaefer, finished 33-5 last year when the Longhorns’ season ended in the Elite Eight after a loss to NC State.
