The tip-off is slated around 6 p.m. ET and can be found on the ACC Network.
The 1-1 Irish had five players out with various health setbacks the first two games, and head coach Niele Ivey said she still plans to go with the same lineup she had then. However, two of the starters, 6-2 forward Sam Brunelle and guard Katlyn Gilbert, two of the top three scorers last season, could potentially be inserted. Brunelle has been able to go on-and-off in practices.
The Irish starters have been sixth-year senior Destinee Walker, junior point guard Dara Mabrey, sophomore guard Anaya Peoples (averaging a double-double following shoulder surgery last January), junior guard Abby Prohaska (sat out last season with pulmonary embolism) and 6-2 freshman Maddy Westbeld, who Ivey says is the most physically and mentally prepared freshman she's seen at Notre Dame along with Skylar Diggins and Arike Ogunbowale, the top two scorers ever at the program.
