While the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team plays its home games within the state of Indiana, the team is probably thankful that no more in-state rivals are on the 2017-18 regular season schedule. That’s because the team’s only game last week mirrored the previous week’s situation, whereby a winnable game against a Hoosier-based opponent went by the boards.
Likely the most frustrating aspect of these past two losses is that the Irish might still be residing within the Top 10 due to the fact that their only other loss was on the road against second-ranked Michigan State.
