Irish rally late to steal victory from Wisconsin

Notre Dame is back in the Elite Eight for the second straight year thanks to arguably the second-most impressive comeback of March Madness, storming back to beat Wisconsin with an 8-0 run in the final 19 seconds to win 61-56.

No, the late Irish run can't compare to Texas A&M's comeback against Northern Iowa -- the biggest last-minute comeback in college basketball history, but it is just as important given the stage. Notre Dame didn't play great, but hung around throughout the game and the Badgers' three late turnovers (17 turnovers for the game) helped make up for a less-than-stellar showing from the Irish.
