We’re through the second period (roughly 8-10 games) of the Notre Dame’s basketball season.
The first period analysis laid out a picture of the Irish men’s and women’s squads off to strong starts, with the women seeming to be on slightly more solid footing. Through the December-early January stretch of games, though, the two parts of Notre Dame’s basketball program are trending in markedly different directions.
The men have logged a total of 18 games and are 50% (9-9). We last left them in the first period of play at 6-2 overall. The squad has had a particularly rough go off it with a lot of their losses coming via conference play and back-to-back losses against Marquette and Georgia in mid-December.
