• Hidalgo is coming off her fifth 30-plus point game of the season. She had 30 points and 7 steals in Notre Dame’s 73-66 loss to Louisville. She only had 1 rebound and 1 assists, though, which is unusual. She usually fills up the entire state sheet, averaging 25.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 5.1 steals per game.
• Florida State also has three other players averaging double-digits in the scoring column this season. The Seminoles score 81.0 points per game, which is second in the ACC behind only Notre Dame’s 82.3.
• Florida State is dead last, though, in scoring defense in the ACC, allowing 71.3 points per game. Florida State has allowed an average of 87.4 points in its four losses. Notre Dame should be able to put a big number on the board, but it will come down to the Irish’s defense on the road. We’ve already seen the Irish allow 86 points on the road at Syracuse in their first of four ACC losses this season.
