‘Wicked: For Good’ was just alright

I was really looking forward to “Wicked: For Good” in a movie landscape that seems to hover between big yet disappointing blockbusters and independent masterpieces.

It is the power of persuasion and the mechanics of influence that shape what those in the Soviet Union believed for generations, and what we, as members of the Notre Dame community, ultimately believe in as well.

Irish emerge victorious in riveting non-conference matchup with Missouri

After a 1-2 stretch at the Players Era Festival, Notre Dame came into Tuesday’s contest with a 5-3 record. Both of last week’s tournament losses came against AP top-25 teams in Kansas and Houston.
