Cooley, Beachem earn shot at NBA rosters

Observer Sports Staff | Friday, August 18, 2017

It has been rough going for former Irish players trying to make the NBA this summer. Notre Dame graduated only two players from the 2016-2017 roster — former captains V.J. Beachem and Steve Vasturia — and both have attempted to make their ways onto NBA rosters. Beachem, who averaged 14.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per

Colson, Farrell lead Irish to finals of ACC tournament

Marek Mazurek | Friday, May 19, 2017

Notre Dame gets no respect. If you regularly follow Notre Dame basketball, that’s a self-evident fact, and this year was no different. The media picked the Irish to finish sixth in the ACC despite coming off back-to-back Elite Eight appearances — the only team in the country able to say that. But if you follow

West Virginia rides early advantage to victory over Notre Dame

Alex Carson | Saturday, March 18, 2017

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Before four minutes had elapsed in Saturday’s second-round matchup with No. 4 seed West Virginia, Irish head coach Mike Brey had to take a timeout; the Mountaineers had jumped out to a 10-0 lead on No. 5 seed Notre Dame. At times the rest of the way, the Irish (26-10, 12-6 ACC) made

Mazurek: Notre Dame needs to look ahead, not back, to become elite

Marek Mazurek | Saturday, March 18, 2017

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Let’s make 2015 the year one of the new era of Notre Dame basketball. That 2015 Irish squad, in just its second year in the ACC, won the conference tournament and took maybe the best college basketball team of all time to the full 40 minutes in the Elite Eight. Since then, the basketball

V.J. Beachem, Steve Vasturia look to get back on track against Mountaineers

Marek Mazurek | Friday, March 17, 2017

BUFFALO, N.Y. — One day after its 60-58 victory over Princeton, Notre Dame is back to business. Now that the glow of winning has dissipated, one thing is clear: The Irish will have to play a lot better offensively to beat West Virginia on Saturday. The Irish (26-9, 12-6 ACC) scored well below their season

Carson: Don’t worry about the details; Notre Dame is still alive

Alex Carson | Thursday, March 16, 2017

BUFFALO, N.Y. — That certainly wasn’t pretty. But hey, it’s March. We’re all familiar with the “survive and advance” cliche and, in many cases, its use is a little annoying. With this Notre Dame squad, though, it’s probably pretty apt. Of course, any coach would’ve preferred a nice, comfortable 15-point win to the 60-58 one

Irish earn a No. 5 seed, face Princeton on Thursday in NCAA tournament

Marek Mazurek | Tuesday, March 14, 2017

The Irish are Buffalo bound. Notre Dame (25-9, 12-6 ACC) found out its tournament fate Sunday evening when the NCAA selection committee awarded the Irish the No. 5 seed in the West region. The Irish play their first game at 12:15 p.m. Thursday against Princeton, the region’s No. 12 seed, in Buffalo, New York. The Tigers

Irish look to enter NCAA tournament with ‘an edge’

Marek Mazurek | Tuesday, March 14, 2017

When it comes to the NCAA tournament, seeding only means so much. Often, a hungrier team can pull off an upset if the higher seed doesn’t play with fire. As a No. 5 seed, Notre Dame hopes to stave off No. 12 seed Princeton’s upset attempt while potentially pulling off an upset of its own

Irish head to comfort of Barclays Center for ACC tournament

Marek Mazurek | Thursday, March 9, 2017

Ho hum. Another season, another top-four finish in the ACC for Notre Dame. Though they lost to Louisville to close out the regular season, the Irish (23-8, 12-6 ACC) finished in double-bye territory for the third year in a row, clinching the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament. But Irish head coach Mike Brey

Irish fall at Louisville, will be No. 3 seed in ACC tournament

Alex Carson | Saturday, March 4, 2017

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Irish head coach Mike Brey loves to talk about getting three stops in a row — he calls them “kills.” And with his No. 19 Notre Dame squad trailing No. 8 Louisville 64-58 with 1:58 to play, it looked as if the Irish would need one to keep their ACC regular season title aspirations alive.
