Should have painted their nails green. It's been a long tradition in Women's Basketball (longer than the Alma Mater being sung after Football games, which started in 2005 under Charlie Weis, compared to 1998 for Women's Basketball nail painting). It's the tradition of one of the ND teams, after all.

BTW, Weis did it as a salute to the ND students. There's usually a large group of ND students in the stands at Men's Basketball as well. The same generally can't be said for the Women's Basketball games.



Here here! I'm all for them painting their nails too! *

and sway at FB and MBB games. The WBB team gathers at mid-court after each home game, waves, and throws t-shirts. That is good enough for me as an alum and season-ticket holder.

Muffet usually gives a wave to the band and gives them special recognition after winning an ACC title, a NCAA regional, or the NCAA championship game.
