There can be something freeing in sports about letting go of expectations. A season that began with fairly high hopes for the Irish men's basketball reached the point of no return a while ago. Probably even sooner than when legendary head coach Mike Brey announced 2022-23 will be his final season on Jan. 19. The failure of the season and of most of the last six years was weighing down the entire program.

For the Notre Dame women’s golf team, the 2021-22 season was one of transition. With a young roster, the Irish struggled to keep up with the top teams in an extremely competitive ACC.

After coming in fifth during the 2022 ACC Championship, the Notre Dame men’s golf team is back for their spring season. Despite their success throughout the regular season, the Irish had a disappointing end, and this year they are back hungry for more.
In some ways, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are in similar spots. Both teams, after years of suffering, are looking for their second Super Bowl in their last five years. Both have a superstar player with the last name Kelce. They are led by a do-it-all quarterback with gobs of talent and playoff experience. There is a healthy mix of players who have been to the Super Bowl before and those about to taste a stage like no other not just in football, but in all of sports, for the first time.
The Irish track and field team was back in action this weekend at the PNC Lenny Lyles Indoor Invitational in Louisville, Kentucky. The Irish had a strong showing, finishing with 23 top-ten finishes and four event titles.
