After a couple of games in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament (home games at Purcell Pavilion for those games), the Fighting Irish met the Texas A&M Aggies in Spokane, WA for the regional semifinal. After handling both CSU Northridge and Villanova, the Irish played a tough Aggie team. However, the Irish showed their toughness and resilience to get the victory 90-84. Let’s break down how this went.
First Half
The Irish actually struggled overall against the Aggies in the first half. The Aggies had a hot start on offense. It was close through the first quarter, a pretty back and forth game.
