It never felt like Notre Dame men’s basketball was far from breaking through. Amid each of their countless last-second losses by a razor-thin margin, they always seemed to be just one big win away from regaining the mojo that sparked the previous year’s NCAA Tournament run. But that moment never really came. And after a

It’s been over a month since the final game of his Notre Dame coaching career. But Mike Brey has hardly been out of the spotlight since his time in South Bend came to a close. At one point during the offseason — a much longer one than the Irish were hoping for after making their

Early Monday afternoon, Notre Dame forward Ven-Allen Lubin announced his entry into the transfer portal. The news broke via Joe Tipton, National Recruiting Expert at On3. Lubin also tweeted the news on his own account. “To the University of Notre Dame, thank you for this season of growth and thank you for being a supportive

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. For one magical night, the Irish delivered an inspired performance to send off Mike Brey and the six graduate students who have meant so much to this program

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

Despite a valiant effort by the team, Notre Dame men’s basketball fell to Duke 68-64 in an away matchup in Durham, North Carolina. After a strong drive into traffic, star freshman guard J.J. Starling was able to cut Duke’s lead to just one point with just 36 seconds left to go in the game. This

On Wednesday night, Notre Dame men’s basketball had perhaps their most disappointing game of the season. Playing against Georgia Tech in Atlanta, the Irish had a chance to knock off the Yellow Jackets for the second time this season and win their first road game of the year. The game went back and forth all

The last time Notre Dame took on Georgia Tech, the mood in South Bend was hopeful. The Irish had emerged with a come-from-behind, 73-72 overtime victory at Purcell Pavilion. It seemed, after five straight losses to open conference play, they were primed to turn the season around. It was hard to believe that a team

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
