Shooting, turnovers plague Notre Dame as season ends with loss to Penn State

Benjamin Padanilam | Tuesday, March 20, 2018

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story was published online March 17. Not even St. Patrick’s Day could bring some luck to the Irish on Saturday. For the last few years of its success, Notre Dame has built its program into one that can shoot from beyond the arc, pass the ball around the

Mazurek: Despite tough season, Irish should hold their heads high

Marek Mazurek | Tuesday, March 20, 2018

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story was published online March 17. It wasn’t supposed to end this way for Notre Dame. Not in the NIT. Not with senior forward Bonzie Colson on the bench with yet another injury to his left foot. And it certainly wasn’t supposed to end on St. Patrick’s Day

Marek Mazurek | Wednesday, March 14, 2018

Tuesday night saw the Irish face a very different challenge than the ones they have in the past few weeks. Last week, Notre Dame had to contend with Duke freshman forward Marvin Bagley III and a 21-point deficit to Virginia Tech in the ACC tournament. The challenge on Tuesday night? Getting over not making the

Irish grind out win over Panthers, set for important matchup with Hokies

Benjamin Padanilam | Wednesday, March 7, 2018

Needing a few wins to situate itself as a bubble team for the NCAA tournament, Notre Dame started its week with a Tuesday afternoon matchup with Pittsburgh, hoping to jumpstart a run in the ACC tournament against a team that went winless in conference play this season. But after a 9:19 stretch of play in

Irish come up just short against Cavaliers

Marek Mazurek | Monday, March 5, 2018

It would have been a huge win for the Irish. Notre Dame has never knocked off a No. 1 team on the road, but a win over top-ranked Virginia would have put the Irish squarely in the NCAA tournament picture. The Irish (18-13, 8-10 ACC) played the Cavaliers (27-3, 17-1) tough, but in the end,
