It didn’t matter that Notre Dame had won just two conference games all season. It didn’t matter that they were facing the top team in the ACC.

Notre Dame’s men’s basketball would like to snap its lengthy losing skid before Mike Brey moves on. However, the team is running out of time to get it done. On Saturday, the streak reached seven games in a 66-58 road loss to Wake Forest. The Irish were competitive for much of the contest, but faded

Entering this matchup against Wake Forest, Notre Dame hoped to make last week’s game against Louisville a building point that could flip momentum for the team rather than an outlier for the season. In the first part of the game, that appeared to be the case. With under 10 minutes to go in the half,

There can be something freeing in sports about letting go of expectations. A season that began with fairly high hopes for the Irish men’s basketball reached the point of no return a while ago. Probably even sooner than when legendary head coach Mike Brey announced 2022-23 will be his final season on Jan. 19. The

On Tuesday night, Notre Dame men’s basketball suffered a narrow road loss against an NC State team that will likely be playing in the NCAA Tournament.

On Tuesday night, Notre Dame men’s basketball traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina, looking to snap a three-game losing streak. For 40 minutes, the Irish battled, fighting back from several big deficits to keep within reach up until the final seconds. Ultimately, it was not enough, as the NC State Wolfpack surged down the stretch to

Notre Dame men’s basketball (9-10, 1-7) returns to action on Saturday for another ACC battle with Boston College (8-11, 2-6). Both teams are looking to escape the league’s basement after poor starts in conference play. The Eagles check in on a four-game losing streak after playing their most difficult stretch of the season.
