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

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

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

A month ago, Mike Brey said if his team squinted, it could see the bubble. Two weeks ago, Brey said he could see the bubble without squinting. But while Notre Dame could see the bubble, hear the bubble and maybe even smell the bubble, the Irish couldn’t quite grab a spot in the NCAA tournament’s

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

Notre Dame will kick off competition in the first round of the 2018 ACC Championship against Pittsburgh at 2 p.m. at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The 10th-seeded Irish (18-13, 8-10 ACC) will face the 15th-seeded Panthers (8-23, 0-18 ACC) for the second time this season, with the previous contest being a 73-56

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,

The Irish needed Wednesday. It was an emotional Senior Night victory over bottom-dwelling Pittsburgh that featured the Lithuanian national anthem, Bonzie Colson’s sister singing the U.S. national anthem and a triumphant return by Colson to the Notre Dame lineup. But now, the Irish (18-12, 8-9 ACC) need Saturday, where a chance to pick up a

It had Lithuanian flags. It had Bonzie Colson’s sister sing the national anthem. But most importantly, it had an Irish victory. In other words, it was the perfect Senior Night for Notre Dame (18-12, 8-9 ACC), as the Irish sent their seniors off with a 73-56 win over Pittsburgh. “It was surreal,” Irish senior guard
