Hidalgo hogs ESPN worship, but Louisville gets the win

Another big Atlantic Coast Challenge in string of them. Another high-scoring phenom coming to town.

The University of Louisville women’s basketball team needing to bounce back from a disappointing loss at North Carolina State. They would have their hands full.

Hannah Hidalgo of Notre Dame averaging 25 points per game, setting all kinds of Irish records, guiding the visitors to the No. 12 spot in the Associated Press’ national rankings. Hidalgo getting all of the pre-game billing from ESPN, lavish praise from the broadcasters, the ultimate kiss-butt treatment from sideline celebrity Holly Rowe. This was going to be Hidalgo’s night, Louisville just needed to accommodate the latest flash in the pan.
