With leading by 2 points after the first quarter in Friday’s Sweet 16 matchup, Fighting Irish star freshman guard was forced to exit the game for more than four minutes. It wasn’t due to injury or foul trouble. Rather, it was to remove her nose ring. Hidalgo began the second quarter on the bench with her head back as trainers worked to carefully remove the nose stud.
Ivey said she was told jewelry was a point of emphasis for officials during the Sweet 16. Hidalgo’s nose ring removal caught the attention of women’s basketball coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin, who . “My players have been playing with nose rings all season,” McPhee-McCuin said. She also stated players who Ole Miss played against during the season also wore nose rings.
