— Coach Muffet McGraw, top-seed Notre Dame and the home fans held their collective breaths when Jackie Young lost hers during Monday’s 91-63 victory over No. 9 Michigan State in a second-round NCAA Chicago Regional game. Arike Ogunbowale led the Irish with 23 points and Jessica Shepard had 19 points and nine rebounds. The 14-0 run was part of a 19-1 spurt over six minutes that sent Notre Dame from a 28-19 lead to a 47-20 advantage. Notre Dame: Because of her two buzzer-beaters in last year’s Final Four, Ogunbowale gets a lot of attention and the Irish frontliners Turner and Shepard are a handful for teams.
