It had been 36 years since the Notre Dame Fighting Irish last beat the Virginia Cavaliers in men’s basketball, with “had been” being the operative words in that clause, as ND beat Virginia handily in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals last night, 71-58.

So with the Irish finally getting that monkey off their back on Thursday night, what did we learn?
