The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have had a brutal NCAA transfer portal window and that fact was called out clearly.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Hannah Hidalgo scored 31 points with eight rebounds, seven steals and six assists, Cassandre Prosper added 17 points and 14 rebounds as Notre Dame blew out No. 22 North Carolina 73-50 on Sunday.

With a full week to prepare for the Fighting Irish after a home loss to Stanford, the Tar Heels were competitive in the first half but fell apart in the second. Notre Dame outscored Carolina 22-5 in the third quarter to turn a 33-27 lead into a 55-32 lead and went on to win 73-50. It was UNC’s lowest scoring output of the season.

Notre Dame is still looking for its first transfer portal commitment, and it could be WR Mylan Graham, who got expert picks to land in South Bend.
