The Notre Dame Fighting Irish met the Oklahoma Sooners, in their first ever meeting tonight, at Madison Square Garden in the Jimmy V Classic. Both teams took the court with matching 6-1 records, amped and ready to perform for the crowd at the iconic “Garden.”
First Half
It was a roller coaster of a first half. The Sooners came out strong, starting the half with five unanswered points, before the Irish got their first points on the board. It didn’t take the Irish long to turn on the gas, though, and at the halfway point in the first half, the Irish were within three points of the Sooners.
