Just another Wow Performance by the ND women. Hildago is like Rocket, worth the price of admission every game. A serious National Champ contender.

Hidalgo's energetic type play is what makes the women a threat to beat anybody. It amazes
me that she plays defense like that without getting into foul trouble. Her offensive game is great too, I don't care if she only goes to the right. She is like a flashing flashlight.
She is the most entertaining ND baller since Austin Carr.
Many many have been superb over the decades (men and women)… but she mesmerizes… while still being a team player.
If the team is healthy at tourney time this will be magical.
Better than Adrian Dantley? No.

Loved AD but Hannah's energy level is unparalleled... all over the court.

Carr was better than Dantley. He was a number 1 pick in NBA draft? Averaged like 35 to 45 points a
game for two years. Dantley may have a accomplished a bit more as a pro but everyone who saw Carr play know he was the best player ND ever had. As a pro Carr was well on his way to rookie of the year when he broke his foot when at the time he was about the 3rd leading scorer in the league. He later scored 44 points I believe, against the Celtics in a playoff game with no 3 point shot. Dantley had no outside shot. Carr had the whole game, great rebounding guard and great shooter from deep,(again no three point shot) beat bigger guards to the rim. Carr thought of much more highly as a teammate and person too.
Dantley was one of the best offensive rebounders ever and was tremendous around the basket but that was the strongest and basically only great part of his game.
Since Carr, Dantley was more entertaining than Hannah is.

Nobody, men or women have been more entertaining than Hildago.
Hildago affects all phases of the game and can dominate even without being the leading scorer.
I take it you never saw Carr nor Dantley.
Nor Ruth Riley nor Arike O.
Yes, saw all of them play. None could control the game and excite the crowd like Hildago.

Dantley and Carr were far superior. Not even close.

I don't know about that, I saw Carr score 46 to beat UCLA in 1971 and then Dantley was part of the
comeback to beat UCLA again in 1974. UCLA had huge winning streaks going both of those times and were coached
by John Wooden. The crowd was "pretty excited" both times. Hidalgo is right after Caitlyn Clark in terms of exciting to watch.
I was at that game. Dad got tickets
I remember the final score of 89-82 and the lanes were painted maroon/red for some reason. I remember making fun of Henry Bibby's name.
I was 8.
Austin Carr, the best. Sixty two points with no three point shot in a NCAA tournament game. Fifty
five the next game.
Great comparison...Arguably the 2 best ND players in history.

they are 3 - 0 against top 3 ranked teams.
the rest of the country is 3 - 41.
there's a message there.
They should make the Final Four.
Once they're at full strength not many teams will have more talent.
