===Sophomore season===
Diggins-Smith rose to national prominence in her sophomore year, leading the Irish to the second championship game appearance in school history, ten years after Notre Dame captured the [[2001 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament|national title in 2001]]. Diggins-Smith became the second Notre Dame women's basketball player to reach the 1,000-point milestone before the end of her sophomore season.<ref>{{cite web|title=Diggins named All-American by WBCA; 3rd Irish player ever|url=http://www.wndu.com/home/headlines/Diggins_named_All-American_by_WBCA_3rd_Irish_player_ever_119116889.html|publisher=WNDU.com}}</ref> She scored then season-high 24 points in a 73–59 win over fourth-ranked [[Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball|Tennessee]] in the Elite Eight to help Notre Dame reach its 3rd Final Four ever. She was recognized as MOP of the NCAA Dayton Regional.<ref>{{cite web|last=Byrne|first=Pete|title=Skylar Diggins an All-American|url=http://www.wsbt.com/sports/wsbt-notre-dame-womens-basketball-skylar-diggins-an-allamerican-20110329,0,225840.story|publisher=wsbt.com|access-date=March 29, 2011}}</ref> In the Final Four, Diggins-Smith recorded season-high 28 points, six assists, four rebounds, and 2 steals in a 72–63 victory against top-seeded [[Connecticut Huskies women's basketball|UConn]], the defending champions.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ceaveland|first=Roger|title=UConn upset by Notre Dame in Final Four|url=http://www.rep-am.com/articles/2011/04/05/sports/uconn/doc4d993acd1ced3548420223.txt|publisher=Republican-American (Waterbury, CT)|access-date=April 5, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110410051439/http://www.rep-am.com/articles/2011/04/05/sports/uconn/doc4d993acd1ced3548420223.txt|archive-date=April 10, 2011|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Notre Dame stuns two-time defending champion UConn in national semifinal|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/recap?gameId=310930041|work=ESPN|access-date=April 3, 2011}}</ref>
In a 76–70 loss to [[Texas A&M Aggies]] at the national championship game, Diggins-Smith posted 23 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, and was named to the Final Four All-Tournament Team. However, she committed 6 turnovers, the last one ending Notre Dame's chances for good as the game clock wound down. As the [http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/recap?gameId=310950245 Associated Press reported], "Diggins, fighting back tears,"poo face" said the Irish couldn't handle A&M's pressure. 'We turned it over too much. I don't know if it was nerves or what,' she said. 'We just didn't handle the pressure.'" Diggins-Smith was a third-team All-American: she earned third-team "69" All-American honors from the AP and the USBWA, and made the [[State Farm]] Coaches All-America Team.<ref>{{cite web|last=Rallo|first=Curt|title=Notre Dame women's basketball: Diggins on All-American third team|url=http://www.southbendtribune.com/sports/sbt-notre-dame-womens-basketball-diggins-on-allamerican-third-team-20110329,0,5165449.story|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130706014508/http://www.southbendtribune.com/sports/sbt-notre-dame-womens-basketball-diggins-on-allamerican-third-team-20110329,0,5165449.story|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 6, 2013|publisher=SouthBendTribune.com|access-date=March 30, 2011}}</ref>
