SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Orange's upcoming ESPN2 Big Monday matchup with No. 1 Notre Dame, scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25 inside the Carrier Dome, is receiving hype as one of the best games remaining this Division I women's college basketball season.
The meeting between the Atlantic Coast Conference foes is billed as a battle between two of the best teams in the country. Syracuse (15-4, 4-2 ACC) currently ranks in the top 15 in both the Associated Press (No. 13) and USA Today Coaches (No. 14) polls, while Notre Dame (18-1, 6-0 ACC) maintains the top spot (No. 1) for the third consecutive week.
The matchup also features two of the nation's best guards in the Orange's Tiana Managakahia and Notre Dame's Arike Ogunbowale. Managakahia is Syracuse's leading scorer and distributor, averaging 16.1 points per game and 7.9 assists per game. Ogunbowale, meanwhile, is a reigning All-American and is averaging a team-high 21.5 points per game this season.
Syracuse vs. Notre Dame is one of 15 games included in the list. Other prominent matchups are: Notre Dame vs. Tennessee (Jan. 24), UConn vs. Louisville (Jan. 31), South Carolina vs. Kentucky (Jan. 31), Baylor vs. Texas (Feb. 4), Oregon vs Stanford (Feb. 10), Tennessee vs. Mississippi State (Feb. 10), South Carolina vs. UConn (Feb. 11), Oregon State vs. Oregon (Feb. 15 and Feb. 18), Maryland vs. Iowa (Feb. 17), Notre Dame vs. NC State (Feb. 18), South Carolina vs. Tennessee (Feb. 24), NC State vs. Louisville (Feb. 28), Mississippi State vs. South Carolina (March 3).
The Orange knocked off two top-25 opponents inside the Dome one season ago, defeating then-No. 11 Florida State and then-No. 17 Duke. Syracuse lost last year's only meeting with then-No. 2 Fighting Irish by a score of 87-72 in South Bend, Ind.Â
Be a part of history as Syracuse aims to break its women's basketball attendance record, 11,021, previously set on Feb. 19, 2017 against Notre Dame. Tickets are available online.Â
