A couple of things to bring to your attention over the past week or so....
Murray Earns JBC Invite
Firstly, congrats to Grand River's Jamal Murray, who was selected to participate in the 2013 Jordan Brand Classic International Game to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, next week. Certainly an impressive add to his already heavy resumé!
Achonwa, Irish, Fall in National Semifinal
Junior forward Natalie Achonwa and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish saw their 30-game win streak come to an end on Sunday evening against a fellow #1 seed, the UConn Huskies (83-65), in one of the two "Final Four" semifinals that were played in New Orleans.
Achonwa contributed 10 points and 6 rebounds in the loss; for the season she nearly averaged a double-double (13.8 PPG, 9.5 RPG), along with 2.3 APG and 1.1 SPG. She started all 37 of Notre Dame's games, playing an average of 27.1 minutes per contest.
