Notre Dame star Hannah Hidalgo joins lists with Fever's Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell

It's no secret that Notre Dame women's basketball has one of the best players in women's college basketball, and budding March Madness star.

But ESPN helped put into context how great Hannah Hidalgo is as her second season continued with the Irish's 76-55 win over Michigan. Hidalgo scored 21 points (8 of 14) with three assists, two steals, one rebound and a block in 36 minutes.

She joined an exclusive list with Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark as the only players in the last 25 seasons with at least 1,500 points and 300 assists in their first two seasons. The tale of the tape:

Hannah Hidalgo	Caitlin Clark
Points	1,536	1,662
Assists	308	471
Games	66	62

Then Hidalgo appeared on another graphic with Clark, her Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell and USC star JuJu Watkins. They are the four players with the most games scoring at least 20 points since 1999-2000.

20-point games	Scoring average through 2 seasons
Kelsey Mitchell, Ohio State	55	25.5
JuJu Watkins, USC	54	26.0
Hannah Hidalgo, Notre Dame	51	23.3
Caitlin Clark, Iowa	50	26.8

Hidalgo and Watkins each have another year of college basketball before they are eligible to declare for the WNBA draft. The Fever likely won't be in position to draft either barring a trade, especially after an offseason which included Mitchell's return and several win-now acquisitions, such as Sophie Cunningham, DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard and others.
