"Did they squish the beef": Fans react as Olivia Miles, Hannah Hidalgo team up months after TCU transfer

Olivia Miles and Hannah Hidalgo were one of the most dynamic duos in women's college basketball last season with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Together, they led the Fighting Irish to an appearance in the Sweet 16 of March Madness. However, after the season, Miles entered the portal and transferred to TCU, leaving Hidalgo alone at Notre Dame.

Despite the transfer, they could be teammates again soon. On Wednesday, the USA Basketball Instagram account posted a photo of the 2025 Women's AmeriCup team trials group. Both Miles and Hidalgo were included.

With this news coming out, it led to many fans commenting and questioning whether Hannah Hidalgo and Olivia Miles are still on good terms.

"It’s so weird seeing Hannah and Olivia again did they squish the beef??" one fan wrote.

"Why they gotta make Olivia sit right next to Hannah?" one fan commented.

"All this talent in one picture is insane," one fan added.

Many fans were simply excited to see so much talent on Team USA's roster, showing their pleasure in the comments.

"BRING IT HOME LADIES!!!!!! USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA," one fan wrote.

"Proud of you all!!!" one fan commented.

"Great players," one fan added.
