The excitement surrounding the Notre Dame women’s basketball program this summer was like a bug stuck in retired coaching legend Muffet McGraw’s ear.
With Olivia Miles coming back from injury, there have been questions on how Miles and Hannah Hidalgo would work together. Rumors swirled about players potentially transferring out. “Negative” was the word McGraw used to explain how people were talking about Notre Dame.
But McGraw knew the outsiders were fallacious. Because when she looked on paper on the team fifth-year coach Niele Ivey fielded, McGraw saw the potential that this group would do something special.
“I believed they were going to be really good,” McGraw told The Post when reached by phone Friday. “My thought was, we’re a Final 4 team.”
