I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you’re gearing up for the Gator Bowl game ... but first, Notre Dame Men’s Basketball (7-5) hosts the Jacksonville Dolphins (7-3) at the Purcell Pavilion in South Bend, Indiana. The Fighting Irish and the Dolphins have only met once before in December of 2018, with the Irish winning 100-74. Last season the Irish went 14-1 at home, and this year they are off to a 7-2 start. They need a win tonight to fine tune some issues they’ve been having before ACC play resumes on December 30th at home versus Miami.
