With all the excitement of the Notre Dame football team’s 9-0 start, the month of November and the beginning to the college basketball season both definitely snuck up on us this year.
However, whether we are ready or not for Mike Brey and the boys to once again take to the hardwood, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team will officially begin its season tonight against the Illinois-Chicago Flames in the first game of the Gotham Classic.
The Flames went 20-16 overall in 2017-2018 (first 20-win season since 2004), finishing 3rd in the Horizon League with a 12-6 conference record.
