Hannah Hidalgo isn’t just the leading scorer for the No. 2 seed Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The 5’6 guard is one of the very best freshmen in the country, and she’s turning into one of the biggest stars of March Madness, too.
Hidalgo entered the Sweet 16 averaging 22.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game this year. The Irish need her on the court as much as possible. But during the second quarter of Notre Dame’s regional semifinal matchup against No.
