Analyst says Hidalgo had ‘greatest tournament performance in history’
Hannah Hidalgo’s magical season at Notre Dame, capped by her historic triple‑double named by Kelly Gramlich as the “greatest individual performance.”
The season may be over, but according to one analyst, the play of Hannah Hidalgo this season may never be forgotten. When play‑by‑play voice Kelly Gramlich called Hannah Hidalgo's Sweet 16 triple‑double the “greatest individual performance” in the NCAA tournament, she was documenting a season that rewrote what a single guard can do in March. In that 67‑64 upset over No.
2‑seed Vanderbilt, Hidalgo posted 31-points, 11-rebounds, 10-steals and seven assists, compiling one of the most absurd lines in women’s tournament history. Over the 2025‑26 season, Hidalgo averaged about 25. 3 points, 6.
8 rebounds and 5. 3 assists per game, anchoring Notre Dame’s offense and carrying the Irish to the ACC’s upper tier. Her 199 steals on the season smashed the NCAA single‑season record, while her 26 steals in four tournament games also set a new NCAA Tournament mark.
For her efforts, Hannah won the ACC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the year for a second consecutive time. In the tournament, Hidalgo elevated those numbers: roughly 26. 7 points, 11.
