That nose stud was just minding its business, but the refs weren't having it.
We never thought we would be typing this sentence, but freshman sensation Hannah Hidalgo had to stop mid-game to have her nose stud removed during the women’s NCAA tournament.
During the season, Hannah Hidalgo has been picking pockets and dropping buckets with a small stud in her left nostril. It’s barely noticeable to the naked eye and hasn’t slowed her down or caused any issues. She even played with it in previous games during March Madness while concealing it with a Band-Aid.
However, officials in Friday’s Oregon State-Notre Dame Sweet 16 matchup alerted the Irish that they had to remove it per the NCAA women’s basketball rules handbook. The rule surrounding player equipment states that head decorations, headwear, helmets and jewelry are illegal. Hidalgo missed four minutes and ten seconds of the second quarter before rejoining the team.

Here’s how social media reacted (Warning: NSFW language):
They’re damn near doing surgery to take out Hannah Hidalgo’s diamond nose ring (which she has worn all season) out before she can check back in pic.twitter.com/09ysKJ8N2J
Hannah Hidalgo just missed 5 minutes of game time in 2Q because referees made her go and take out a nose ring. She’s had it in all season. This is absolute BS
The nose ring rule being enforced in the last few games of the entire season is pretty on par with how inconsistent these refs have been all year long.
