No. 3-seed Notre Dame women's basketball advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 for the fourth straight year Sunday afternoon with a 76-55 victory over No. 6-seed Michigan at Purcell Pavilion.
The Irish (28-5) will now advance to the Birmingham Regional 3 to play no. 2-seed TCU (33-3), an 85-70 victor over 7-seed Louisville on Sunday. The game will be played Saturday at 1 p.m. p.m. (ABC).
The Irish and the Horned Frogs already have some history this season. TCU handed Notre Dame its first loss of the season, a 76-68 decision back on Nov. 29 in the Cayman Islands Classic just after Thanksgiving.
