Notre Dame Men’s Basketball: What did the last three games tell us about the Irish’s tournament hopes?

After beating NC State 69-57 on Saturday the Notre Dame men’s basketball team had played a total of five games in eleven days. Two of those games came against the other top two teams in the ACC standings. Those games were back to back and required the Irish to travel down to Miami the day after facing Duke (the number one team in the ACC). They came out .500 in those two games, which after the showing against Duke most of us would’ve taken. Notre Dame now sits at second in the ACC behind only Duke, who is now ranked #7 (but will drop after last night’s loss) in the nation per this week’s AP Top 25.
