Notre Dame men’s basketball team added something else to be thankful for this Thanksgiving – a Maui Invitational Championship. The Irish knocked off #6 Wichita State despite barely leading throughout the game and after trailing by as many as 16. The Irish led early at 4-2 but did not hold another lead until there were 2.3 seconds left on the clock and that’s all that matters. Notre Dame won 67-66 thanks to an exhilarating final minute of action.
After Bonzie Colson missed a three pointer that would have tied it with just over 30 seconds remaining, things looked bleak for the Irish.
