This year’s MarchMadness is a family affair for Niele and Jaden Ivey 👏
Niele has been watching Jaden throughout the NCAA tournament thus far in between the Fighting Irish’s games in the women’s bracket. After Notre Dame’s win on Monday, she admitted that she was more worried during her son’s latest game than she was during her team’s own second round matchup.
“It’s so special. But I was so excited last night. First of all, my stress is as a mom. Today I was relaxed. Last night I was stressed,” Niele Ivey said postgame. “I was just so happy that he’s living out his dreams, I’m living out my dreams, and to watch him help his team get to the Sweet 16 was just so special for me. It was hard not being there, but he knows that I have a job to do, as well. I had a FaceTime with him earlier just before the game, so we’re there for each other in spirit.
After the results of the last two days, the Iveys and their respective teams will turn their focus to the end of the week. Jaden’s Purdue squad will square off against No. 15 Saint Peter’s on Friday, while Niele and the Fighting Irish will face a tough test against No. 1 NC State on Saturday.
