Niele Ivey is often praised for her authenticity when it comes to recruiting and relationship-building as Notre Dame women’s basketball head coach.

Exclusive interviews with Ivey, Muffet McGraw and Julie Henderson help show how there’s even more to Ivey, which she allows only her inner circle to see.

It was a noteworthy 108-60 win for No. 13 Notre Dame women’s basketball vs. Detroit Mercy. A 22-0 start, Anaya Hardy’s homecoming away from home and more history for Hannah Hidalgo.

Niele Ivey’s Irish are 3-0 and dominant so far this season.

@KyleMSmedley @HannahHidalgo @SBTsports Hopefully she will do something against teams other than the 2nd grade YWCA girls teams n just padding stats. She does nothing better than Strong, JU JU, or Blakes except get steals against teams that are blind.

The soft-spoken Anaya Hardy was all smiles and even cracked a few jokes after a career-best night vs. Detroit Mercy with her parents in the crowd. Hardy had 21 points and 8 rebounds.

“There’s a lot of confidence in me, and I feel like I have more confidence in myself.” 🏀🎥🗣️

Before every free throw, Hannah Hidalgo grabs hands with a teammate at the top of the key, takes a deep breath, then steps to the line.

Notre Dame women’s basketball’s new all-time free throw leader (566) said that routine started with Sonia Citron a few years ago. 🏀🎥🗣️
