Notre Dame and USC showdowns are generally reserved for the football field but this November the two will meet in a women’s basketball showdown that could very easily be between a pair of top-five teams.
Notre Dame brings back a slew of talent from a team that won last year’s ACC Tournament before making it to the Sweet 16 while USC brings back superstar sophomore to-be Juju Watkins and a team that was just one win away from the Final Four.
Fans are stoked for the game that takes place a week before the Notre Dame-USC football game this November.
Count Notre Dame women’s basketball coach Niele Ivey among those as she shared his excitement on social media Friday evening.

Props to Ivey and the Notre Dame athletic department who have not been afraid to schedule games against the nation’s very best teams year after year.
