Notre Dame undone by late Virginia run

Joseph Monardo | Saturday, February 22, 2014

What was for most of the night a gritty performance from the Irish turned into a debacle in the final minutes and the most recent chapter in what has been a disappointing season for Notre Dame. Tied with the Irish with just more than 11 minutes to play, host Virginia embarked on a 25-point run

Irish win first road game, defeat Boston College, 73-69

Joseph Monardo | Sunday, February 16, 2014

Irish junior guard/forward Pat Connaughton had spoken about Sunday’s game against Boston College as a sort of homecoming for himself.

Joseph Monardo | Tuesday, February 11, 2014

To travel the world

Joseph Monardo | Monday, February 10, 2014

To “travel the world” is a grand sentiment, one common in the stated desires of teenagers, young adults and aimless middle-aged individuals. The statement is an acknowledgement of one’s own limited experience with foreign cities and cultures. From an individual perspective, the world can at times seem infinite. With the Winter Olympics bringing international diversity

Irish can’t cool Cooney

Joseph Monardo | Monday, February 3, 2014

The Irish were looking to piece together a new winning streak to salvage their season, but the momentum from Saturday’s overtime victory over ACC bottom-feeder Boston College was not enough to propel Notre Dame past the country’s top team. Notre Dame (12-11, 3-7 ACC) threatened to pull off the road upset, but eventually fell to

Joseph Monardo | Friday, January 31, 2014

Monardo: Season has quickly gotten away from Notre Dame (Jan. 28)

Joseph Monardo | Monday, January 27, 2014

At about 9 p.m. on Dec. 21, things were looking pretty good for the Irish. By 9:30 on the same night, however, the outlook was decidedly less rosy. After blowing an eight-point lead in the final minute against then-No. 3 Ohio State in Madison Square Garden, things have only continued to get worse for the

Joseph Monardo | Saturday, January 25, 2014

Notre Dame’s most recent ACC contest followed the script that has become all too familiar on the road for the Irish. Down for most of the game, the Irish threatened to steal the decision in the final minutes before falling short, this time 65-58 to Wake Forest.   Irish graduate student center Garrick Sherman made

Notre Dame looks to even ACC record

Joseph Monardo | Tuesday, January 21, 2014

After securing a much-needed win Sunday and halting a three-game skid, Notre Dame will look to pull its conference record to .500 with a trip to Florida State tonight. The Irish (11-7, 2-3 ACC) defeated Virginia Tech, 70-63, in the Purcell Pavilion their last time out to improve to 2-1 in home-conference contests. Meanwhile, Notre
