The Notre Dame men’s tennis team continued its winning start last weekend, besting both Vanderbilt and Oklahoma to qualify for a spot at the ITA Indoor Nationals. By winning both matches, the No. 17 Irish (3-0) grabbed the top spot in the four-team tournament and remained undefeated on the season. “I thought our guys did a

On Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, Notre Dame suffered a close loss against Oklahoma in the Jimmy V Classic. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Irish (6-2), their last win coming on Nov. 27 over Illinois. In the first half, both teams got off to a rather sloppy start in the

Don’t get me wrong — Trae Young is tremendously fun to watch. The freshman phenom has taken Oklahoma and the college basketball world by storm, lighting up the scoreboard with incredible numbers. The diminutive point guard has limitless range and incredible vision, already recording three 40-plus point outings and leading Oklahoma — who finished last

Notre Dame traveled to Florida State’s Seminole Golf Club for a 12-team tournament, and their total score of 916 strokes — 52 over par — left them in last, far behind the top-finishing Seminoles, who shot 27 under par.

Editor’s Note: This week, the Sports Authority columnists answer the question, “In which competition is it most difficult to win a championship?” The prospect of winning a championship in any sport at any level is a daunting one. Particularly in team sports that participate in leagues, so many factors beyond individual ability are counted towards

As a North Carolina fan, last night left me understandably unfulfilled. The No. 1-seeded Tar Heels had been playing some of the best basketball we’ve seen this year in the NCAA, including commanding wins over Notre Dame and Syracuse. The Tar Heels had the best front court in college basketball and one of the greatest

For the third straight season, No. 1 seed Notre Dame will have a home-court advantage as it seeks yet another Final Four berth. As the top seed in the NCAA tournament’s Lexington, Kentucky, region, the Irish will host the first and second rounds of the tourney this weekend at Purcell Pavilion, seeking its seventh straight

If everything goes according to plan this weekend, the College Football Playoff’s Selection Committee will have about as easy of a job as it ever will. Clemson will remain No. 1 with a win, while No. 2 Alabama, No. 3 Oklahoma and the winner of the Big Ten Championship Game between No. 4 Iowa and
