Notre Dame Women Survive Oklahoma, Move Into Sweet Sixteen

The Notre Dame women put on a truly entertaining show last night, slaying the giant of Courtney Paris and defeating Oklahoma in a 4 vs. 5 match-up to earn another date with Pat Summitt's Lady Vols.  Senior Charel Allen dropped in 35 during the overtime win, earning herself a nice little feature story on ESPN.

The turnaround is pretty remarkable when you consider the Irish lost their last two games of the season in uninspiring fashion to St. John's and to Pittsburgh in the Big East tournament.  The road, of course, got a lot rockier as the Irish now must try to take out defending championship Tennessee, who handled the Irish by 24 earlier in the season.  The Sweet Sixteen rematch is scheduled for 9:00 Sunday night, which I'm nearly positive will be well after the last two men's Final Four tickets are handed out.
