After a long offseason, and four COVID-19 tests leading up to the game, including one mere hours before tipoff, the Notre Dame men’s basketball team was simply “thrilled to get the game in,” according to head coach Mike Brey. The Irish (0-1) already had to find a way to replace the production and leadership of

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

The last four years of Notre Dame men’s basketball have been marked by more changes, adversity and growth than most programs experience in a decade. Entering on the heels of back-to-back Elite Eight appearances for the first time since March Madness expanded to 64 teams, this senior class felt first-hand the heartbreak of injury, the

The Notre Dame men’s basketball team collapsed at home Wednesday night in a game they controlled virtually from the outset.

When Boston College (13-16, 7-11 ACC) visited Notre Dame (18-10, 9-8 ACC) in December, the Eagles rode a hot shooting performance to a large first-half lead, and then, despite struggling to score against the Irish zone defense, just barely held on for a one-point victory. When Notre Dame visited Chestnut Hill on Wednesday night, the

Notre Dame (16-10, 7-8 ACC) will wrap up its two-game homestand with a matchup against Miami (14-12, 6-10 ACC) Sunday. Coming off a draining four-game stretch after which head coach Mike Brey said his team was “exhausted,” the Irish begin a slightly easier portion of their schedule. The team defeated Clemson and North Carolina, but

The Irish secured a much-needed win Monday night in wild fashion against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Trailing most of the second half and facing a double-digit deficit with under eight minutes to go, the Irish (16-10, 7-8 ACC) found a way to rally late and pull off a stunning last second victory. The Irish

Averaging 5.2 points per game, and having never averaged more than 8.1 per game, to suggest that Notre Dame graduate student guard Rex Pflueger is a mainstay in the Irish lineup for his offensive prowess would be laughable. Pflueger plays a gritty brand of basketball and leads the Notre Dame defense, which, although inconsistent, has
