The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team came up empty this week, yet again losing a pair of competitive games in one of the more miserably monotonous trends we’ve seen in a while. The winless week of action extended their ACC losing streak to 11 games, with only two to play. Let’s put what’s left of our brains to work trying to parse out some patterns from this ongoing meltdown.

Last Week’s Results

L vs. North Carolina Tar Heels, 63-59

L @ Wake Forest Demon Deacons, 66-58

A missed opportunity to put a nail in the coffin of one of the year’s biggest flop teams at home, followed by a ho-hum road defeat where the Irish were in the game throughout, but never really threatened in the second half.
