Kobe Bryant gives a(nother) Mamba shoutout to Arike Ogunbawale

Arike Ogunbowale's 3-pointer as time expired Sunday lifted Notre Dame past Mississippi State to the NCAA women's basketball title, 61-58, and left many virtually speechless — including the NCAA Women's Basketball's Twitter feed, which responded with an appropriate, singular: "WOW".

Former NBA superstar Kobe Bryant didn't tweet "same" but could've in a shoutout to Ogunbowale's "Mamba Mentality":

The buzzer-beater — .01 showed on the clock after Obunbowale's shot fell through — came after a Twitter exchange between Ogunbowale and Bryant, who was in attendance at the Women’s Final Four in Columbus, Ohio.

Notre Dame advanced to the championship by downing unbeaten UConn on Friday when, yes, Ogunbowale hit a game-winner in the last seconds, leading Bryant to give her a shoutout. And when she responded, "Wow, my life complete" to Bryant's praise, he offered her a challenge that her work wasn't done.

You know the rest now.
