CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Notre Dame women's basketball coach Niele Ivey said she was grateful for the lift her third-ranked team gave her in Sunday's win at No. 17 North Carolina. That came after an emotional week that included her son suffering a serious leg injury during an NBA game. Ivey is the mother of Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey. He was hurt in a game Wednesday night and needed to have surgery. She said her players "ignited me as a person, and a mother" in the 76-66 road win against the Tar Heels. She says her team "really kept my spirits up."
