Notre Dame (18-10, 9-8 ACC) looks to continue their late-season push when they travel to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for a matchup with Wake Forest (12-15, 5-12 ACC) on Saturday afternoon. The Irish have been playing well as of late, winning their last three games, two of them on last second shots. Senior guard T.J. Gibbs came up clutch by making a floater at the buzzer to give the Irish the win over Boston College on Wednesday night, but head coach Mike Brey was complimentary of the entire team’s effort.
With a smaller graduating class than last year, Senior Day festivities will likely be brief. Guards Kaitlin Cole and Marta Sniezek will be honored before the game. Cole, a senior hailing from Toledo, Ohio will play her final game in Purcell Pavilion after playing the role of the sixth woman this past season. McGraw commented on Cole’s production.
After winning two games at home last week, the Notre Dame men’s basketball team heads to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, to take on Boston College. The Irish (17-10, 8-8 ACC) were defeated by the Eagles (13-15, 7-10 ACC) at home on Dec. 7 by a score of 73-72, after Notre Dame’s comeback attempt fell short.
