My Prediction
Notre Dame Fighting Irish by 7Ah, a classic apex predator matchup. What say we discuss the Northern shindig between the number one ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the slightly less reputable, but still excitable, number thirteen North Carolina State Wolfpack.
Alrighty then, the Irish are boasting heavy shooters like Hannah Hidalgo who's averaging a scorching 24.3 points per game for the season, alongside her ally Olivia Miles who decimates with a sturdy 16.5 points on average. Some might say the grass is greener on the other side, but not when these stars light up the court, don't you think?
But don't you discount the Wolfpack. Their lineup houses some serious talent – Aziaha James and Zoe Brooks each maintain impressive stats as they trot out on the court with scoring averages of 17.3 and 13.2 points per game, respectively.
But let's meander into the backstage sniffing at the history between these two teams. Our recent past encounters reveal some serious back and forth, with the Irish sneaking out a win last March by a narrow margin of just 4 points. As they say, history has a tendency to rhyme, if not repeat.
So, how about those season records? The Irish have racked up an incredible 24-2 win/loss ratio, while the Wolfpack hang in there with a commendable 21-5.
Their most recent exploits in the court showcase some sturdy performances by both squads, with the Irish on a string of consecutive victories and the Wolfpack, aside from one recent bump in the road against the Tar Heels, maintaining a strong lead.
Although they're nearly a dozen ranks apart, one can't duck the reality here – these teams have both showed some serious chutzpah. It's a tough one to call, almost as tough as choosing between a root canal and a tax audit. But after weighing and measuring, my money's on the Irish.
Albert’s Prediction: Notre Dame Fighting Irish by 7.
