Today is the day that Rutgers men’s basketball takes on Notre Dame in the First Four round of the NCAA Tournament! The two No. 11 seeds will play at 9:10 p.m. ET in Dayton, Ohio and the game will air live on truTV.
To gain a better understanding of the Irish, who finished in second place in the ACC this season, I was fortunate to speak with Patrick Sullivan, who is an editor for SB Nation’s Notre Dame site, One Foot Down. He gave great insight on the roster, trends with this team, keys to the Irish clicking compared to why they struggle, the vibe of the fan base ahead of this old school Big East matchup and much more.
