The NC State Wolfpack took on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in one of the most highly anticipated women's basketball games to this point of the season. The Fighting Irish entered Sunday night's showdown with an undefeated 15-0 record in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
Looking to steal a game from the conference's top team, NC State mustered a double-overtime victory over the top-ranked Irish. The Wolfpack defeated Notre Dame 104-95, with a crucial play down the stretch of the second overtime period.
After a contested rebound from Zoe Brooks, James came up with the ball on a fast break, putting the ball behind her back to evade Olivia Miles for an open layup.
The play went viral on social media and garnered attention from WNBA All-Star and new Seattle Storm guard Erica Wheeler. She posted the clip on her Instagram story, tagging Aziaha James in her caption.

"Nah yo! What you on! @lefty_2021 😂 this OD 😳 in overtime tho!?"
James finished with 20 points, five rebounds and two assists in the victory, but the Wolfpack was led by a heroic effort from Zoe Brooks. She scored 33 points on 9-of-20 shooting, with 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal.
