Tonight the Fighting Irish Men’s Basketball team hosted the Marist Red Foxes at Purcell Pavilion. The Fighting Irish (4/7) and Red Foxes (7-2) had only met twice before tonight’s meeting, with the last meeting back on December 22nd, 2004 (which Notre Dame won by a score of 88-73). Marist came to Notre Dame on a five-game win streak which included wins over Bucknell, Iona, Manhattan, Dartmouth, and Maryland Easter Shore. How did the Irish fare against the Red Foxes tonight? Lets have a look!
