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

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

Eight days after their worst game of the season, a 34-point loss to Duke, Notre Dame delivered their best performance in conference play this year, scoring 48 points in the first half en route to an 87-71 throttling of the Miami Hurricanes. The win lifted the Irish back to .500 in the ACC, improving to

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

“That counted as one loss?” Irish head coach Mike Brey quipped in his post game press conference. Brey attempted to keep the mood light after his team was dominated by Duke (22-3, 12-2 ACC) from start to finish, falling 94-60. “Wow, they were great. They were fabulous,” he said. The Irish (15-10, 6-8 ACC) were

Notre Dame (15-9, 6-7 ACC) lost in overtime Tuesday, falling 50-49 on the road to Virginia (16-7, 8-5 ACC). The Irish squandered chances late, having a chance to win in regulation, missing two free throws in overtime and a chance to win at the buzzer. The Irish were led offensively by sophomore guard Prentiss Hubb

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 (14-8, 5-6 ACC) are looking to continue their positive momentum on a tough road trip, traveling first to Clemson, South Carolina, to take on the Tigers (11-11, 5-7 ACC) on Sunday.

The Irish (14-8, 5-6 ACC) won their third consecutive game Wednesday night, defeating the visiting Pittsburgh Panthers (14-9, 5-7 ACC) 80-72. This was an important win as the Irish race to finish the season with the best possible record. Competing in one of the toughest conferences in the country, every win counts in order to

Notre Dame will look to finish off a three-game homestand undefeated Wednesday night as the Irish take on former Big East foe Pittsburgh. The 66th matchup between the Panthers (14-8, 5-6 ACC) and Notre Dame (13-8, 4-6 ACC), who currently sit 10th and 11th in the ACC standings, respectively, is practically a must-win for both teams
