Noie column: A good day for Sonia Citron, but not so good a day for Notre Dame women’s basketball

ABOUT MIAMI: Pertinent to the outcome or not, the Hurricanes arrive from South Florida yet again in conjunction with particularly cold temperatures. The high was a pleasant 34 when they were last here two years ago. However, when they were here on Jan. 19, 2020, it was the lowest high (16 degrees) of an unusually mild winter; when they were here on Jan. 4, 2018, the high was 14; when they were here on Feb. 14, 2016, the high was 14, the lowest high that month; and when they were here on Jan. 23, 2014, the high was 13, the third-lowest high that month. Sunday is forecasted to be colder than any of those last five trips, all Miami losses. … The Canes are paced by Jasmyne Roberts, their lone double-digit scorer at 11.3 points per game. Duke transfer and fellow junior guard Shayeann Day Wilson is next at 9.6 points to go with 3.8 assists, while six others each average 6.3 to 8.0 points. … Miami’s top win is 74-68 at then-No. 21 Mississippi State (now 14-4) six weeks ago, and the Canes lost just 77-72 to now-No. 15 Louisville (14-2) two weeks ago, but they’re also just 1-3 away from home overall. They have two previous opponents in common with Notre Dame, whipping NJIT 87-43 (ND won 104-57) and falling 70-64 at Boston College (the Irish crushed the visiting Eagles 98-48 on Thursday). … Miami’s limiting the opposition to a net EFG of 43.1%, while its offense is at 51.5. The Canes average 13.1 more points, 4.9 more rebounds and 2.9 fewer turnovers than their opponents.

ABOUT NOTRE DAME: The Irish look to build upon their most lopsided league win in nearly five years following the 98-48 dismantling of BC. … Seven-time ACC Rookie of the Week Hannah Hidalgo made a nice start toward an eighth such honor with 27 points, 10 rebounds and four steals against the Eagles with 9-of-15 from the field and 8-of-11 at the line. She’s at 24.1 points per game (third in the nation), 6.9 boards, 5.8 assists and 5.6 steals (best in the nation). … Back from a knee sprain, Sonia Citron’s averaging 18.0 points across the five games she’s played, including ND’s last two. Maddy Westbeld’s adding 14.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game; Anna DeWolfe 10.2 points and 3.5 assists; KK Bransford 8.9 points; Nat Marshall 7.9 points; and Kylee Watson 7.1 points and 1.2 blocks. … All-American guard Olivia Miles (knee) has remained out all season and leading reserve Cass Prosper (lower leg) the last eight games. No updates were provided on either after Thursday’s win. … The Irish are limiting opponents to a net EFG of 41.2%, contrasted to the offense coming in at 52.7. ND’s also at 26.8 more points per game, 11.7 more rebounds and 5.0 fewer turnovers than opponents. … The Irish escaped with a 66-63 win last season at Miami to go up 24-6 in the all-time series. ND’s won six straight at home against the Canes stretching back to a February 2004 victory when both clubs were still in the Big East.

QUOTING: “Miami’s another scrappy, tough team. They play like 10 people, really athletic. It’s definitely what we kind of prepared for for Boston College.” — Niele Ivey, Notre Dame coach.

Ole Miss S Nick Cull’s targeting call reversed vs Miami in Peach Bowl

Ole Miss S Nick Cull’s targeting call reversed vs Miami in Peach Bowl

Mississippi football’s Nick Cull avoided an ejection during the College Football Playoff Fiesta Bowl semifinal on Thursday, Jan. 8.

As Malachi Toney reeled in a catch from Carson Beck at the Miami 49 in the first quarter, he was hit by Cull in a helmet-to-helmet collision. Right away, the officials flagged Cull for targeting, with both Toney and Cull staying down on the field with an injury.

After officials reviewed the play, the call on the field was overturned, as the officials determined that Cull did not launch and the collision seemed to be incidental. Replay assistant Matt Austin concurred with the call on the field.

The play had a major impact on the game as well. If the call had been upheld, Miami would have had the ball at the Ole Miss 34-yard line with a chance to expand its 3-0 lead. However, a few plays later, the Hurricanes were forced to punt from the 49-yard line.

On the first play of the second quarter, Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacey scored on a 73-yard run to give the Rebels a 7-3 lead.

Because he was not called for targeting, Cull was not ejected from the game, which means Ole Miss will have him for the remainder of the game, if he can clear the concussion protocol. He was in the tent following the play.

Cull has 15 total tackles and three pass deflections this season for the Rebels.

Meanwhile, Toney went to the medical tent briefly for the Hurricanes, but returned to the game.

QUOTABLE

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on the forced turnovers: “That is and has to be our identity. We have to play with a recklessness and activity level that exceeds our opponent, and thats not to put down our talent level or anything like that, it’s more about we look different when we’re flying around and making plays and making it tough for the opponent.”
