The regular season is forever in the rearview mirror with March Madness here and the NCAA Women's Tournament bracket officially official

Notre Dame head coach Niele Ivey spoke to the media Sunday night after the Fighting Irish earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. This is everything she said. On her initial thoughts on Notre Dame getting a No.

But the Notre Dame women's basketball team has a tradition, too, and that involves the players and coaches painting their nails green for the NCAA Tournament. It's a tradition that dates back to 1997, the year the Irish made their first Final Four. It began during that run and has been ongoing with the Irish ever since.
