This past Saturday was a semi-pleasant surprise for a lot of us, as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s hoops team played toe-to-toe with the #3 Virginia Cavaliers IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, just barely ending up on the losing side of things, 60-54. T.J. Gibbs had another good game with a team-leading 17 points.
Since Saturday, the Irish (13-12, 3-9 ACC) have had a quick turnaround to get ready to play the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at home this evening, but luckily the Deacs are one of the only ACC teams who has looked decidedly worse than the Irish this season.
