Looking to snap its conference losing streak, Notre Dame again faltered down the stretch — making only one of its final 10 field-goal attempts — on its way to a 68-61 road loss to Florida State on Monday night in Tallahassee, Florida. The Irish (13-15, 3-12 ACC), limited to a seven-man rotation for the conference

Notre Dame will look to reverse its present course this Sunday against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, who will visit Purcell Pavilion for another ACC showdown. For Irish head coach Mike Brey and the entire program, the 2018-19 campaign can be thought of as one, long, recurring bad dream— right now for Notre Dame (12-11,

The Irish are finally trending in the right direction. Perhaps, one might argue, on multiple levels. And while Notre Dame (12-10, 2-7 ACC) pulled out a 79-73 win over Boston College this past Saturday to finally snap its five-game losing streak and gain back some semblance of respectability this season, the reality is that this

Earning a spot in the starting lineup for the first time this season, Irish junior guard Nikola Djogo decided to register his best performance in a Notre Dame uniform. Djogo poured in a career-high 21 points to spark the Irish on the offensive end of the floor while three other Irish players scored at least

After going through the gauntlet of hosting No. 3 Virginia and No. 2 Duke last weekend, and suffering two resounding defeats in the process, Notre Dame is looking to start with a clean slate as it prepares to hit the road and play Boston College this Saturday. With aspirations for the postseason long behind the

This Saturday, Notre Dame prepares for a tall task when No. 3 Virginia comes to Purcell Pavilion for an afternoon matchup. The Irish could badly use a win as they have lost their last three and five of their last six, the latest defeat coming at the hands of Georgia Tech. This past Tuesday, Notre

On Tuesday night in Chapel Hill, N.C., Notre Dame hung tough with No. 13 North Carolina, but ultimately fell short as the Tar Heels took the game 75-69. The loss marked the first time since 2013 that Notre Dame (11-6, 1-3) has lost three of its opening four conference games. Early on in the night,

Notre Dame will begin its 2018-19 regular-season campaign Tuesday evening inside Purcell Pavilion by facing off against University Illinois-Chicago (UIC) as part of the 2018 Gotham Classic. This will be the first-ever matchup between the Flames and the Irish, and it is the beginning of a seven-consecutive home game stretch for Notre Dame. The Irish

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story was published online March 17. It wasn’t supposed to end this way for Notre Dame. Not in the NIT. Not with senior forward Bonzie Colson on the bench with yet another injury to his left foot. And it certainly wasn’t supposed to end on St. Patrick’s Day

Tuesday night saw the Irish face a very different challenge than the ones they have in the past few weeks. Last week, Notre Dame had to contend with Duke freshman forward Marvin Bagley III and a 21-point deficit to Virginia Tech in the ACC tournament. The challenge on Tuesday night? Getting over not making the
