Notre Dame photographer lauds women’s basketball student turnout

This is great to see.

When you photograph Notre Dame women’s basketball games for over 30 years, you tend to pick up on certain things. That’s the case for longtime Notre Dame photographer Matt Cashore. He graduated from the university in 1994 and has stuck around capturing the sights of campus ever since.

Among Cashore’s most prominent photographers have taken place at the athletic events on campus. That includes women’s basketball games, and he noticed one thing in particular during the Irish’s overtime win over Texas. That one thing was more students attending such a game than he could remember, and he took to social media to make that known.

It’s great to know that the Notre Dame students have started to take notice of a team that has national championship dreams this season. The men’s basketball team has to wait another season for arguably the best 2025 recruiting class in the country to arrive, so the women’s basketball team will do just fine this year:

The Irish need the students’ support if for no other reason than to make Purcell Pavilion an intimidating place for opponents. Hopefully, that will be the case by season’s end.
