After closing out a strong 24-6 (13-3 BIG EAST) season, the #3 seed Irish began determined run, beating Louisville 63-53 in the Quarterfinals, DePaul 71-67 in the Semifinals, but finally losing a heartbreaking Final game to Connecticut, 73-64. This was their third meeting with Connecticut this season, however, they were unable to prevail in any matchup.
