Well folks, it may not have ended like we wanted it to, but it was SO GOOD to be back in Purcell for some ACC basketball yesterday afternoon as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team fell to the Syracuse Orange 72 to 62.
The students were mostly not back yet from Christmas break, but Purcell did get a little raucous anyway throughout, as the Irish, despite the loss, had a number of positive moments to hang our collective Irish leprechaun hat on, showing a lot of resilience as a team. Furthermore, we were all treated to multiple performances by a New York teen playing electric guitar, so it mostly just felt like a rock concert where a spontaneous basketball game broke out.
