Mississippi State women's basketball score vs. Notre Dame: Live updates from March Madness
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Could a Cinderella be developing with Mississippi State women's basketball? An 11-seeded MSU squad selected among the last four teams in the 2023 NCAA Tournament is a win away from cracking the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2019.
However, to get to the second weekend, a difficult test awaits. Mississippi State faces 3-seed and host Notre Dame on Sunday in what is sure to be a hostile environment inside Purcell Pavilion.
MSU took down fellow 11-seed Illinois in the First Four on Wednesday before upsetting 6-seed Creighton on Friday. After going one-and-done in the SEC tournament, Mississippi State has become one of the biggest surprises in March Madness.
Notre Dame is looking for its 19th Sweet 16 since 1997, but to get there the Irish will have to win without their best player. Sophomore guard Olivia Miles is out for the remainder of the season because of a knee injury. She averages 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game.
