TAMPA, Fla. — The storybook ending wasn't to be.
As it had so many times in the past two years, and the last week alone, Notre Dame fought back from a significant deficit against Baylor in the national championship game.
But unlike all those, the 17-point comeback ended in a heartbreaking 82-81 loss to the Lady Bears, leaving the Irish in a stunned locker room with tears in their eyes.
Arike Ogunbowale led that comeback effort with 31 points, but fouled in the final seconds with a chance to send the game to overtime, her first free throw rattled out. That was the last time the Irish saw the ball.
