While this is my first season covering Notre Dame sports, I have been a Fighting Irish fan all my life. I have also been a fan of overtime basketball. Tuesday night’s game against Louisville allowed me to combine those two of my favorite things. Coming into Tuesday night’s match-up, these teams had played nine overtime games, including the incredible five OT game back in February 2013. Candidly, I was hoping for something similar at the end of Tuesday’s game, which was already shaping up to something special with the announcement, earlier in the day, that Matt Farrell was returning to the Fighting Irish line-up.
