Folks, it looks like today, March 12th, is finally the day this Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball season comes to a merciful close.
Your 13-18 (3-15 ACC) Fighting Irish, as the honorable 15th seed (out of 15), will take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, the 10-seed, in the first round of the ACC Tournament.
The Irish, of course, are in this position because of the loss they suffered to the then-last-place Pittsburgh Panthers on Saturday, dropping a close, ugly game 56 to 53 and giving Pitt their first win since mid-January.
