It’s conference tournament time for Notre Dame women’s basketball, as the Irish take on North Carolina State this afternoon in Greensboro, North Carolina. Conference Coach of the Year Niele Ivey leads 10th ranked Notre Dame into the tournament, with the major question facing the team right now the status of starting point guard Olivia Miles, who hurt her knee in the first half of the season finale last Sunday at Louisville. Today’s game time is 2pm, with Sean Stires bringing you the action on our sister station Live 99.9. The Irish are a lock for an NCAA Tournament bid next week, and expect to host first and second round games at Purcell Pavilion later this month.
