Alright, let’s start with the obvious: Notre Dame misses Bonzie Colson. Losers of four straight, the Irish (13-7, 3-4 ACC) have seen themselves fall back to Earth after an improbable 3-0 start in conference play given the laundry list of injuries — Colson, a senior forward, will be sidelined until March, senior guard Matt Farrell missed

No Bonzie Colson. No Matt Farrell. No problem? Well, there were some problems for Notre Dame, but not enough to prevent the Irish (13-3, 3-0 ACC) from picking up a third-straight win to open conference play — this time on the road over Syracuse in a 51-49 contest at the Carrier Dome. “I’ve been at

INDIANAPOLIS — The Irish have taken on one of two appearances in the last couple of games. The first is the team that won the Maui Invitational after beating then-No. 6 Wichita State and then blew out Delaware on the road. The second is the Irish team that dropped two out of three games in

Quiet. That was the nature of the Irish player’s lounge following No. 9 Notre Dame’s 80-77 loss to Ball State on Tuesday. It was the reaction of Irish fans in Purcell Pavilion after the realization of Cardinals junior guard Tayler Persons’ game-winning 3-point shot sunk in. And it was the nature of the Irish scoring

It’s been a weird week-and-a-half for Notre Dame men’s basketball. If you made a movie about it, you’d have to cast Clint Eastwood because there’s been some good, some bad and some ugly. The good was Notre Dame’s comeback win over No. 6 Wichita State to win the Maui Invitational in the days before Thanksgiving.

A slow start for the No. 5 Irish helped No. 2 Michigan State defeat Notre Dame 81-63 for the program’s first loss of the season on Thursday night in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. “My worst fear was [the Spartans] getting off to great starts because when they do that in this buildin, it’s a heck
