Mikayla may not be quite the generational player that Sarah is (and a lot of Vandy fans might well disagree)
but she is a unique talent and talk of shutting her down is silly.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Nobody needs to tell Notre Dame guard Hannah Hidalgo that Vanderbilt guard Mikayla Blakes leads the nation in scoring. She has her own thoughts on how hard Blakes is to defend.

...Hidalgo referenced Caitlin Clark when asked what makes Blakes so effective as a scorer.


"The way she's able to put the ball in the hoop, it's like Caitlin-type of level," Hidalgo said Thursday during a news conference previewing the game. "She can score on all three levels, whether that's getting all the way to the basket, her midrange, or her three. Of course, that's always tough to guard."
