Arike Ogunbowale, are you serious?
Notre Dame won the NCAA women's championship on Sunday night, defeating Mississippi State 61-58 thanks to Ogunbowale's buzzer-beating 3-pointer.
The Fighting Irish came back from double digits in both of their Final Four games and are the first women's national champion to ever do so. Mississippi State was 37-1 coming into the game.
Ogunbowale scored 18 points for Notre Dame. Jessica Shepard led the way with 19, while Marina Mabrey chipped in 10.
The Fighting Irish were the runners-up four of the last seven years; Ogunbowale pushed them over the hump. It's the second national title in program history, and a dramatic one at that.
