Is the Grove open in December?
On Thursday we learned that Niele Ivey and her Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team will face the Ole Miss Rebels in the ACC/SEC Challenge.
One question… can we tailgate at The Grove in December?
From the ND press release:
Irish Draw Ole Miss For 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge
GREENSBORO, N.C. — The third iteration of the ACC/SEC Challenge is set for 2025, and Notre Dame will head to Ole Miss for the Dec. 4 clash.
Like the Irish, Ole Miss is coming off of a Sweet 16 appearance last year and their second in three years. Head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin is set for her eighth year in Oxford, and Ole Miss has three returning players, including SEC All-Freshman guard Sira Thienou. The rebels also pulled in a collection of high-level transfers, including two-time All-Big 10 guard Cotie McMahon.
Notre Dame hosted Ole Miss in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, defeating the Rebels 71-56. Hannah Hidalgo played a complete game with 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. It is the only time the two schools have met on the basketball court.
