— Top seed Notre Dame was just too big and strong for tournament newcomer Bethune-Cookman. Arike Ogunowale scored 23 points and Jessica Shepard had a double-double in the Fighting Irish’s 92-50 rout of the 16th-seeded Lady Wildcats on Saturday in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. “Their starting five’s size is about the size of our men’s starting five,” Lady Wildcats coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis said. The Lady Wildcats finished shooting 26.7 per cent (16 of 60). BIG PICTUREBethune-Cookman: The Lady Wildcats never led but were down just 9-7 with 5:36 left in the first quarter when they went cold.
