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. The Irish (18-12, 9-10 ACC) fell to the No. 7-ranked Seminoles in a game Notre Dame desperately needed to win to maintain any hope of receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. Senior forward

On Saturday, Feb. 29, the Notre Dame men’s basketball team faced off against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the back half of a five-day road trip. The Irish men were unsuccessful against Wake Forest, losing the game 73-84. This loss concluded a three-game win streak for the Irish. Looking to clinch an NCAA tournament

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

The Notre Dame men’s basketball team got a much-needed 80-72 win against Georgia Tech Saturday to give them their second home win in the ACC season and their first back-to-back conference wins since 2018. Head coach Mike Brey gave the credit to his upperclassmen for leading the way to the victory. “I’m really proud of

The Notre Dame men’s basketball team will look to record back-to-back ACC wins for the first time since Feb. 28, 2018, when they defeated Wake Forest behind a go-ahead three from Matt Farrell and Pittsburgh on senior night amid Bonzie Colson’s return from a broken foot. The Irish (12-8, 3-6 ACC) just recorded a win

It doesn’t appear to matter who Notre Dame plays. No matter the quality of opponent, the Irish (12-8, 3-6 ACC) will play them close. Whether it’s the No. 5 Florida State on the road, or hosting ACC bottom feeder Wake Forest, Notre Dame is bound to find themselves in a tight final few minutes. That
