Mike Brey’s Notre Dame Fighting Irish carry plenty of confidence with them into every game.
It’s even more pronounced when Notre Dame faces Duke -- and with good reason.
Heading into Saturday night’s ACC tournament championship game (9 p.m, ESPN/WRAL), Notre Dame owns a 5-2 record against Duke over the last four seasons. That includes Irish wins over the Blue Devils in the last two ACC tournaments.
Even though the Blue Devils beat the Irish 84-74 at South Bend, Indiana, on Jan. 30 this season, Notre Dame harbors no fear.
