Irish fall in first round of ACC Tournament to Virginia Tech

Matthew Crow | Wednesday, March 8, 2023

It was always a long shot that Notre Dame men’s basketball would go on a miracle run to win five games in five days and claim the ACC championship. But for much of their first-round matchup with Virginia Tech on Tuesday night, it looked like the Irish might extend their season and the tenure of

Irish fall flat in regular season finale

Liam Coolican | Monday, March 6, 2023

Mathematically, Saturday night’s regular-season finale at Clemson meant nothing for Notre Dame men’s basketball. The Irish were already locked into the 14th seed of the ACC Tournament and a first-round matchup with 11th-seeded Virginia Tech. Emotionally, however, it meant a whole lot more.  Coming off an electrifying upset victory over Pittsburgh in head coach Mike

Irish take No. 7 Virginia to the wire, fall 57-55

Tyler Reidy | Monday, February 20, 2023

There are no moral victories in college basketball, but there is something to be said for what Notre Dame men’s basketball has been doing away from Purcell Pavilion. The Irish have visited 19-plus win teams in three of their last four road games. They lost 85-82 to No. 23 NC State on Jan. 24, fell

Irish seek first road win against Yellow Jackets

Liam Coolican | Wednesday, February 8, 2023

The last time Notre Dame took on Georgia Tech, the mood in South Bend was hopeful. The Irish had emerged with a come-from-behind, 73-72 overtime victory at Purcell Pavilion. It seemed, after five straight losses to open conference play, they were primed to turn the season around.  It was hard to believe that a team

Irish fall in second half against Wake Forest, drop to 2-10 in ACC

Nicolas Morles | Monday, February 6, 2023

Entering this matchup against Wake Forest, Notre Dame hoped to make last week’s game against Louisville a building point that could flip momentum for the team rather than an outlier for the season. In the first part of the game, that appeared to be the case. With under 10 minutes to go in the half,

Irish to take on Eagles after thirteen-point loss to Seminoles

Tyler Reidy | Thursday, January 19, 2023

Notre Dame men’s basketball (9-10, 1-7) returns to action on Saturday for another ACC battle with Boston College (8-11, 2-6). Both teams are looking to escape the league’s basement after poor starts in conference play. The Eagles check in on a four-game losing streak after playing their most difficult stretch of the season. After beating

Notre Dame falls to Ohio State, prepares for turnaround matchup at Kentucky

Liam Coolican and Nate Moller | Friday, December 11, 2020

Ohio State Junior guard Prentiss Hubb did just about all he could, but Notre Dame (1-2) fell to No. 22 Ohio State (4-0) 90-85 Tuesday night. The Irish led for the majority of the contest, building a lead as large as 11 points, but the Buckeyes mounted a furious second half comeback, taking the lead

All hands on deck: Brey talks challenging schedule, player growth in opening presser

Hayden Adams | Wednesday, November 11, 2020

College basketball season is inching closer and closer. Head men’s coach Mike Brey’s presence on the weekly Brian Kelly press conference Zoom link (following head football coach Kelly and hockey head coach Jeff Jackson) was evidence that’s it just about time for the Irish to make the short trek across the street from Rolf’s Athletic

Adams: A born-again faith in Mike Brey’s program

Hayden Adams | Friday, August 14, 2020

What is there to say that hasn’t already been said about the Notre Dame men’s basketball team over the last three years? After back-to-back runs to the Elite Eight, a second-round NCAA tournament exit against West Virginia and a Maui Invitational victory that catapulted the Irish to No. 5 in the AP Poll, it was

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.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

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.
