Arike Ogunbowale was on Sunday night the star as she propelled Notre Dame to deliver the 2018 National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball title with a 61-58 victory over Mississippi State.
Schaefer learned a lot from last year's loss in the title game.
This hero stuff is getting routine for Arike Ogunbowale.
Notre Dame won the women's basketball NCAA Tournament on Sunday when Arike Ogunbowale came through again with a winning shot, this time against Mississippi State.
Ogunbowale's victor came after a wild sequence with the score tied; both teams got steals with less than 20 seconds to play. It's always been my philosophy up four, down four, as a head coach, it's my job to get them home inside of four minutes. "I had to learn to just take it a little easier, let some of the other guys do their thing, they're great players and I was just trying to do too much myself". McCowan was forced to commit her fifth foul of the game at midcourt to prevent a Fighting Irish fast break, which queued the set play off of which Ogunbowale got the ball one last time. It fell to SC previous year after ending UConn's 111-game winning streak.
For a moment in the first half, the Irish seemed frustrated by Mississippi State (37-2, 16-0 SEC). "We have so many former players there, 25 from all different years".
Just like their regular-season meeting, Notre Dame started out hot.

There had been a slew of questions Saturday, the day after Notre Dame and Mississippi State had advanced to the national title game in an instant-classic of a Final Four, as to how the two programs planned to top their thrilling semifinal bouts.
"It's all about the mindset", she said.
This might be one of the most improbable NCAA runs by McGraw's team, despite being a No. 1 seed. The resiliency the Irish had shown all season while dealing with four season-ending knee injuries was there. We never even talked about where we could be or what we should be thinking. And we just kept fighting.
Both teams struggled offensively in the first quarter. It didn't matter in the end as Notre Dame found a way to rally, just as they had done all season.
For the Mississippi State women, it was simply not meant to be.
"There's nothing you can say to a college kid after experiencing this two years in a row that's going to make them feel any better about, you know", Geno Auriemma said. "We've got to try to keep her off".
The Mississauagas had a great entertaining game on Friday when they beat Grand Rapids and if you get a second to check it out, you should. Tremendous competition, athletes pushing themselves dealing with mistakes and overcoming them and drawing us into the pure essence of the games.
