For the second time in three days, a USF basketball team is opening Big East play against an elite national team -- on Tuesday night, USF's women's team takes its 11-2 record up against No. 2 Notre Dame, which is fresh off an upset at then-No. 1 Connecticut on Saturday.

To preview the game, Tuesday's Times has a feature on senior guards Andrea and Andrell Smith, who have been inseparable in basketball and in life and lead a strong core of eight seniors on this year's Bulls team. Here's the full story, complete with a great photo from the Times' Daniel Wallace.
