The ACC lost the ACC/Big Ten Challenge earlier this season, but it earned some bragging rights between the two conferences in dramatic fashion in the 2022 NCAA men's basketball tournament.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish stunned the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 89-87 in double-overtime in Wednesday's First Four game in Dayton, Ohio. Paul Atkinson Jr., Cormac Ryan and Nate Laszewski led the way for the victors in the matchup of No. 11 seeds in the West Region.
Atkinson's putback in the final two seconds of the second overtime decided it, and Notre Dame will now look to keep rolling against Alabama in the round of 64.
