Notre Dame women’s basketball has cruised through the ACC slate with an unblemished record. Monday night in primetime, though, the final few weeks of conference play can get a whole lot more interesting if one of the two teams with two losses in league play notches an upset over the Fighting Irish.

This is everything you need to know about Notre Dame hosting Duke tonight.

What to know about Notre Dame

• The Irish have a 17-game winning streak. During that span, they’ve beaten six ranked teams by an average margin of 14.2 points per game. The Irish have not lost since suffering back-to-back defeats to TCU and Utah in the Cayman Islands Classic at the end of November.

• Notre Dame’s guard trio of Hannah Hidalgo, Olivia Miles and Sonia Citron are playing some of the collective best basketball of any three teammates in the nation. Together, they put up just over 55 points per game on average in addition to so many other contributions across the stat sheet, including roughly 17 rebounds and 13 assists per game.

What to know about Duke
