Hidalgo is cold 🥶
Glad that Citron returned but they still lack depth and lost again in the 4th quarter because of this lack of depth. Only 6 players scored for the Irish. Any word on Olivia Miles return this year? Cassandra Prosper is another big loss for the Irish as well. This could have been a great season but it looks like the Irish will be just barely good enough to make the NCAA tournament in March.
