NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament primer: Upsets, dark horses and title picks

Aidan Thomas | Wednesday, March 8, 2023

The NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament is generally less prone to upsets than the men’s tournament. But as the depth and talent in the field increase the parity of the event, upsets are beginning to happen with more frequency. Just last year, four teams sitting on the 11 and 12-seed lines won their opening game. Two

Joseph Tunney | Tuesday, September 6, 2022

What we saw in week 1 of college football

Matthew Crow | Tuesday, September 6, 2022

After a far-too-long offseason (and a smattering of Week 0 matchups), college football is back, and with its triumphant return came everything we have come to know and love about the sport. A wild opening weekend featured upsets, dominating performances, nail-biting finishes, and several teams finding bizarre ways to win. Here are five of the

Thoughts on the Iowa Caucus

Blake Ziegler | Wednesday, February 12, 2020

You know what really irks me? When people call the United States a democracy. Sure, our nation may have some democratic elements, but our government is not a democracy. Our government is not a majority-wins-all system where the minority is ignored. In fact, the Founders actually feared this democratic form of government. James Madison laments

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
