Notre Dame guard Olivia Miles excited for comeback from injury, momentum of women's basketball

Notre Dame guard Olivia Miles is ready to remind people of who she is on the basketball court.

It’s been a year and a half since audiences last saw Miles, one of college basketball’s most electrifying talents, suit up for the Fighting Irish. In Feb. 2023, in a road contest vs. Louisville, Miles sustained a season-ending knee injury while diving for a loose ball just as Notre Dame was on the heels of what projected to be a deep ACC and NCAA tournament run. It was a devastating interruption to the star-powered beginnings of Miles’ collegiate career – one in which she had solidified herself as one of the best in college basketball.

“I don’t think that I have to prove myself again, but definitely remind people and wake people up,” said Miles, whose injury kept her sidelined all of last season. “I think they really have no idea what’s coming.”

Miles has missed being on the floor with her teammates and has craved the feeling of satisfaction that comes with winning a close game or the disappointment that follows a hard-fought loss.
