After trailing throughout the second half, Notre Dame fought back and then held of a tough Virginia Tech team at the JACC.
Despite struggling throughout the night on the defensive end, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (13-5, 4-2) did just enough to knock off the Virginia Tech Hokies 83-81. Notre Dame didn't defend well in transition, and they couldn't stop the pick and roll all game long. Luckily for the Irish, Seth Allen's potential game winning three just rimmed out at the buzzer giving the Irish the narrow win. On the offensive end, however, ND was fantastic, especially in the second half.
