Preview: No. 3 UConn women’s basketball vs. No. 7 Notre Dame | 3 p.m. ET, ABC

On Sunday, UConn women’s basketball will head to South Bend, Indiana to take on the No. 7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish for the first time since Dec. 2018 when then-freshman Christyn Williams went off for 28 points in an 89-71 victory. Now, not a single Husky has played at Purcell Pavilion — though freshman Ayanna Patterson has spent plenty of time there as a fan growing up.

How to watch

Date: Sunday, Dec. 4

Time: 3 p.m. ET

Location: Purcell Pavilion, South Bend, IN

TV: ABC

Stream: WatchESPN App

Radio: UConn Sports Network (97.9 ESPN and affiliates)

Player to watch: Olivia Miles

Miles is among the best point guards in the country, adding 6.7 assists per game to go along with her 15 points and seven rebounds. The matchup between her and Nika Muhl should be fascinating.

While Miles’ facilitation of the offense is elite, her ability to read a defense also makes her a high-level scorer. She’s lethal in transition and scores 1.48 points per play at the rim this season despite being only 5-foot-10.
