Irish women blow out Iowa, turn attention to UConn

 

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Anyone following women's college basketball knows what lies ahead on Sunday - the rivalry matchup between number one Notre Dame and number two UConn.

But as everyone anticipates that meeting, the Irish were focused solely on Thursday's game against Iowa, another tough opponent itself.

Despite facing its third-ranked opponent in a row, Notre Dame turned in one of its most impressive performances of the young season by blowing past the 14th-ranked Hawkeyes 105-71.
