The Fighting Irish have been on an impressive run, as evidenced by their recent decimation of Lafayette Leopards on December 7th, where they scored a whopping 96 points. Their offensive prowess was on full display with a field goal percentage of 57 and an even more impressive two-point shooting percentage of 63. The team also demonstrated their defensive capabilities with 12 steals and seven blocks.


Notre Dame's performance against Western Michigan Broncos on December 21st further solidified their status as a force to be reckoned with. Scoring 84 points and boasting an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.62, the team showed that they could not only score but also share the ball effectively.


Against Purdue Boilermakers on December 17th, ND once again proved their mettle by putting up strong numbers across the board – scoring 76 points and maintaining a free throw percentage of nearly 85 percent. Their fast break points stood out at an impressive tally of 26, highlighting their ability to capitalize quickly on turnovers.


Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will certainly have their work cut out for them in this matchup. While they will bring their own strengths to the court, it is clear that ND has been performing at an elite level this season.


The key for ND will be maintaining their high-scoring offense while continuing to apply pressure defensively. With players who can dominate both inside the paint and from beyond the arc, ND presents a well-rounded challenge for any opponent.


Looking ahead to February second's game in Atlanta, fans should expect Notre Dame Fighting Irish to continue displaying the same level of excellence that has become synonymous with their play this season. It would not be surprising if ND were able to dictate the pace early on against GT and maintain control throughout all four quarters.


For those eager to witness what promises to be another thrilling encounter in women's college basketball, mark your calendars for February second at midnight Eastern Time when Notre Dame takes on Georgia Tech at Hank McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta – unfortunately no broadcast networks have been announced yet for live coverage but stay tuned for updates regarding where you can catch all the action live.
