Notre Dame Basketball Quick Recap: Irish take down #10 Kentucky 66-62

With 11 seconds left in the game, Blake Wesley knocked in a jump shot to put the Irish up 64-62. Paul Atkinson pulled down a rebound from a missed Wildcat shot, passed it over to Wesley — and then Blake found an open Dane Goodwin running towards the bucket to dunk it home as time ran out to make it a 66-62 final.
