Notre Dame (31-3), who has battled through multiple injuries to earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, advanced to the Sweet 16 with a 98-72 victory over Villanova. ArikeOgunbowale leads the Fighting Irish with 20.6 points per game.
 
The teams are meeting for the first time in the NCAA Tournament since the 2011 National Championship game, a 76-70 Texas A&M victory. Tyra White hit a 3-pointer with 1:06 to play, beating the shot clock buzzer and giving the Aggies a 5-point lead that would prove insurmountable.
 
The winner of this game faces the winner of No. 2 seed Oregon and No. 11 seed Central Michigan in the Spokane Regional Final, which takes place Monday, March 26 at 8 p.m. CT.
