I don’t believe what I just saw! Arike Ogunbowale for Notre Dame became a legend this weekend as she nailed not one, but two crazy game-winners en route to a National Championship. The shot to win it Sunday is one of the most absurd game winners you will ever see, much less in a situation with such high stakes.

As previously mentioned, she played hero on Friday as well when she stunned to juggernaut UCONN Huskies in overtime.

She was unreal in the second half all weekend, as evidenced by this insane stat:

I don’t care if this is men’s or women’s basketball. Arike Ogunbowale just hit two of the most clutch shots in basketball history on the same weekend. Congrats to Ogunbowale and Notre Dame on winning their second title in school history, the first since 2001.
