All-ACC honors galore Tuesday for Notre Dame women’s basketball, starting with coach of the year Niele Ivey. Sophomore guards Olivia Miles and Sonia Citron earned first team all league honors, and forward Maddy Westbeld made the second team. KK Bransford was named to the All-Freshman team. Miles is hoping to be able to play in the ACC Tournament Friday after hurting her knee in Sunday’s regular season finale at Louisville. The Irish are in the ACC Tournament as the top seed, playing Friday afternoon at 2:00 against the winner of Thursday’s NC State-Syracuse game. Sean Stires has the call Friday from Greensboro, North Carolina, on Live 99.9.
It could be an emotional night at Purcell Pavilion this evening, as Mike Brey coaches his final home game for Notre Dame men’s basketball after 23 seasons running the program. The 10-and-19 Irish face league-leading Pittsburgh, with Tony Simeone on the call starting at 6:30 for a 7:00pm tipoff on Sports Radio 960 WSBT. The Irish will close the regular season Saturday at Clemson, and barring a miraculous run, Brey’s career at Notre Dame will end next week in the ACC Tournament.
One of the pillars of Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup champion teams is now gone. The Blackhawks Tuesday traded 34 year old Patrick Kane to the New York Rangers for draft picks, and he is expected to take the ice with Rangers tomorrow. Kane helped the Blackhawks to three Stanley Cups during his tenure in Chicago.
On the ice, the Blackhawks lost last night at Arizona, 4-to-1. The Detroit Redwings lost at Ottawa, 6-to-1.
In the NBA: the Chicago Bulls fell at Toronto last night, 104-to-98. In Dallas, the Indiana Pacers edged the Mavericks 124-122.
