Elite scorers Blakes and Hidalgo highlight Vanderbilt-Notre Dame matchup
Mikayla Blakes and Hannah Hidalgo are bringing some high-scoring flair to the Sweet 16 matchup between Vanderbilt and Notre Dame. Blakes is the nation's leading scorer at 27.0 points per game for the Commodores. Hidalgo is third with a 25.2-point average for the Fighting Irish. Their March Madness meeting comes in a Fort Worth Regional I semifinal Friday. Blakes and Hidalgo played against each other as New Jersey high school stars in 2023. They were teammates for the United States last summer. Both downplayed the individual matchup as Vanderbilt chases its first Elite Eight berth in 24 years. The Irish last went that far in 2019.
