Skylar Diggins By The Numbers 1 Diggins was not only the program's first two-time consensus All-American, but she also is the first basketball player at the school, male or female, to receive All-America notice all four years, including Associated Press honorable mention as a freshman. She became the school's first two-time consensus All-American in basketball since Adrian Dantley in 1975-76 and 1976-77. 3 Selection of Diggins by the Tulsa Shock in the April 17 WNBA Draft, behind Brittney Griner (Phoenix) and Elena Delle Donne (Chicago). That ties 2008-12 center Devereaux Peters as Notre Dame's highest draft pick. 4-48 Notre Dame's all-time record against Tennessee (0-20) and Connecticut (4‑28) the year Diggins enrolled in 2009. It finished 10-2 against the duo in the last 12 games, 7-2 against UConn and 3-0 versus the Volunteers. 32 Game, season or career records at Notre Dame held by Diggins. She ranks among the top five on an astounding 105 of the program's game, season or career charts, including school records for career points (2,357), steals (381), games started (144) and double-figure scoring games (121), just to name a few. She also is second in assists (745). 130-20 Notre Dame's record (.866 winning percentage) during Diggins' four-year stay with the Fighting Irish. The Irish finished 29-6 (2010), 31-8 (2011), 35-4 (2012) and 35-2 (2013), advancing to the Final Four each of the last three years after doing it twice during the first 20 years of the NCAA Tournament. Diggins led the Irish to three consecutive Final Four appearances, including two national championship game berths, and a 130-20 record (.867 winning percentage) in the last four years. photo by joe raymond
