Photos of Notre Dame’s blowout win over Boston College

That’s more like it.

Notre Dame had a shaky first three games to begin ACC play, losing two of them. It needed a good performance against Boston College in the worst way to get back on track. Only time will tell with that’s the case, but for one night at least, the Irish what they’re capable of in a 98-48 smothering of the Eagles.

Every player who entered for the Irish (11-3, 2-2) got in the scoring column, and five of them reached double figures.

[autotag]Maddy Westbeld[/autotag], back after missing one game with an injury, had an even double-double of 15 points and 15 rebounds to go with two blocks.

Dontavia Waggoner was the only player for the Eagles (9-8, 1-3) to get to double figures with 12 points. She and her teammates trailed the Irish by only three after the first quarter before the bottom completely fell out.

Here are a few images to remember the Irish’s latest domination:

Final 2022-23 ACC women’s basketball leaders

Here’s the best the ACC had to offer in the major statistical categories this season.

With Virginia Tech’s loss in the Final Four, the 2022-23 ACC season is complete. It was quite the successful season for the conference as it boasted many of the best teams and players in the country. Notre Dame made it to the Sweet 16. Miami and Louisville got as far as the Elite Eight. And let’s not discount Duke, Florida State or North Carolina, all of whom made the NCAA Tournament. Whichever program you chose to follow, chances are you wouldn’t be disappointed the quality of basketball.

Now that we’ve paid tribute to the best teams, let’s look at the players who were the best in the major statistical categories during the season. Not every player on the list represented a top conference team, but their presence alone made even the most abysmal conference games worth watching. Next year’s conference players will have a lot to live up to following in the footsteps of these ladies. Heck, some of them could be back on this list at the end of next season:

The ACC Tournament takes place this week, so all eyes will be on Greensboro, North Carolina. Whatever the standing of your team, this is the perfect opportunity to see the best of what the conference has had to offer this season. Here are the players you particularly will want to see:

With only one week until the ACC Tournament, the time for teams to make a move is now. The opportunities to make an impact are getting fewer, and if a team hasn’t done that yet, it might already be too late. Nonetheless, here are the players most likely to help their teams make a last-minute impression on the NCAA selection committee:

We are halfway through February, and time is running out for ACC teams to make a move. If they haven’t made an impression on the selection committee yet, they better do it very soon, as in starting this coming week. Here are the players most likely to make strong cases for their teams:

The ACC continues to march forward with its season. It’s getting late for some teams to make a move, and others will be just fine when the time comes to unveil the NCAA Tournament bracket. Here are some players who could help sway the selection committee for their team, especially if they’re on the bubble:

We are prepared to leave January behind and enter February, the final full month of college basketball’s regular season. This is when we’ll really get to see whether the teams that have made noise to this point are legitimate or whether any struggling teams are just lying in the weeds. In the meantime, here are some of the players most making noise, specifically those in the ACC:

As we enter the final full week of January, we continue to be impressed by those leading the bunch in the ACC. While we don’t know where their teams will be at the end of February, they should at least factor into their respective teams’ seeding in the ACC Tournament. Here are the statistical leaders at this point in the season:

With the ACC having reached the midway point of January, we’re at somewhat of a benchmark for the season. While there is plenty of time for new faces to emerge atop the main statistical leaderboards, it would help if those new faces made their move sooner rather than later. For now though, here’s who stands out:

With ACC play having entered full swing, we now can take a look at the best in the conference. Some teams have more statistical leaders than others, but most have none at all. When these players’ teams come up on the schedule, opponents really will want to pay attention:
