Bench clearing brawl in the 4th quarter. These officials are terrible. They have allowed Cardosa camping in the kane and no three second calls. Allowing LSU's big players get beat around underneath. I am not an LSU fan and especially their coach, but they are getting the bad end of the calls. Referees allowed this to get out of hand i think this is first time i have ever seen anything like this in womens basketball. Definitely not good for the game.

Here is the latest ESPN Bracketology, updated Saturday morning: The Irish projected as a No. 4 seed.

Live Stats: LINK

As Irish Runt pointed out, Notre Dame is up to No. 3 in the latest ESPN Bracketology projection for the NCAA Tournament.

A four-run ninth-inning rally wasn’t enough to fend off a third straight loss Sunday for the Notre Dame baseball team in its ACC opening series at Virginia Tech.

The host Hokies (11-3, 3-0 ACC) battered Irish pitching again, scoring in double digits in all three games, including an 11-8 win Sunday for a sweep.

Right fielder Eddie Michletti Jr. launched two of Virginia Tech’s four home runs against the Irish (9-5, 0-3). Notre Dame collected 13 hits, including solo home runs from outfielder David Glancy and catcher Joe Spence.

Shortstop Jack Penney and first baseman Connor Hincks each went 3-for-5, with Penney scoring three runs and Hincks driving in two and hitting a double.

Starter Matt Bedford took the loss. He lasted 2 ⅓ innings, giving up four earned runs on three hits, two walks and three hit batsmen with one strikeout.

The Irish have a Tuesday/Wednesday Spring Break series at Radford (4 p.m. EDT both days) before resuming ACC play Friday night at Florida State against former Irish coach Link Jarrett in the first game of a three-game series.

VIRGINIA TECH 11, NOTRE DAME 8: Box Score

I understand that Antonelli played for NC State back in the day. But as the color analyst during ESPN's telecast of the ACC championship game, she could at least pretend to be impartial. But she is openly rooting for NC State to beat Notre Dame ... During the 1st half, she constantly commented on what NC State needed to do better, and hardly mentioned ND. That being said, I'm proud of how the ND women are competing with only 6 players available to play ... ☘️ 🏀☘️

Lots of talk about the offensive line, but hardly any talk on this young guy. He's seems like the closest thing ND has to Ronnie Stanley. I know he has had a hard time putting on weight, but is that the only problem. I personally would love to see him come into his own and start on the left side allowing Jagusah to move inside to guard where he and Billy Schrauth can be the best combo. of maulers ND has seen inside in quite a while. You guys see him at all during practice today? Did he look more the part now or does he still look more like a long TE?

The end of Notre Dame’s 2023-24 hockey season on Saturday night was a bit of a rerun of the night before.

Fourth-seeded Michigan rallied with two late goals to overtake 5 seed ND, this time 4-3, to win the best-of-three Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal series, two games to none. Both games were played at Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor, Mich.

The Wolverines (20-13-3) advance to the single-elimination tourney semifinals next Saturday against top-seeded Michigan State, which had a bye into the semis. Third seed Minnesota will play the winner of Sunday’s quarterfinal matchup between No. 2 Wisconsin and No. 7 Ohio State in the other semi. Their series is tied 1-1.

The Irish finish 15-19-2, ending on a five-game losing streak and losing eight of their last nine games.

The same players who scored goals in ND’s 5-4 come-from-ahead loss on Friday rose to the occasion again. This time Drew Bavaro, Landon Slaggert and Patrick Moynihan scored a goal apiece, with Slaggert being credited with an assist and Moynihan two assists.
Michigan outshot the Irish, 36-28. Ryan Bischel recorded 31 saves for Notre Dame.

TJ Hughes scored the first two Wolverines goals. After the Irish took a 3-2 lead in the second period on Moynihan’s goal, Duke Dylan tied the game, and Gavin Brindley scored the game-winner in the final period.

With potential match up vs USC if both make it to sweet 16…if it plays out this way it’s probably the most favorable bracket for the ladies.

Hopefully they can pull of another one today with an even shorter rotation.

The one glaring red light intermittently flashing during Notre Dame’s 9-2 run through its pre-conference schedule was inconsistent starting pitching.

Something that the Irish were able to largely camouflage with impressive power at the plate and defensive prowess in the field, ranking second nationally in home runs per game and sixth in fielding percentage coming into its ACC-opening series at Virginia Tech this weekend.

With an 11-3 romp past the Irish on Friday followed by a 10-5 victory on Saturday, the Hokies (10-3, 2-0 ACC) have exploited ND’s slow start on the mound in the first two games of conference play.

Game 3 is set for Sunday at 2 p.m.

On Saturday the Irish pitching staff surrendered four home runs, three wild pitches and two hit batsmen along with 11 hits. Virginia Tech chased ND starter Toby McDonough after 2 ⅔ innings, after he gave up five runs (four earned) on four hits and a walk with two strikeouts.

Notre Dame (9-4, 0-2) rallied after trailing 6-0 after five innings, plating two runs in the sixth, two more in the seventh and one in the top of the eighth to cut the deficit to one run before the Hokies finally answered with four runs in the bottom of the frame.

Left fielder David Glancy hit his fifth home run of the year and drove in two, and third baseman Simon Baumgradt hit his fourth, a solo shot, to lead the Irish offense. DH Brady Gumpf doubled in two at-bats, giving him a team-leading five on the season. He drove in two runs as well.

Shortstop Jack Penney and first baseman Connor Hincks each went 2-for-5 with a run scored.

The ACC flexed its strength heading into conference-opening weekend with all 14 teams sporting winning records and the league going a collective 127-31 (.804).

After the Irish finish the series with Virginia Tech, they’ll play a two-game midweek non-conference series with Radford, then face former Notre Dame coach Link Jarrett and his 12-0 Florida State Seminoles in a three-game weekend series in Tallahassee.

VIRGINIA TECH 10, NOTRE DAME 5: Box Score

On Saturday, Notre Dame men's basketball (12-18, 7-12 ACC) will play its regular-season finale on the road at Virginia Tech (17-13, 9-10 ACC).

The Irish defeated the Hokies 74-66 in their first matchup last month where ND held Virginia Tech to 27 points in the second half. In that victory, freshman point guard Markus Burton had six steals including a crucial one against Sean Pedulla in the second half. He also added 16 points and eight assists.

Burton, who averages a team-high 17 points per game, is expected to continue his role as ND’s primary scorer with help from freshman guard Braeden Shrewsberry, Micah’s son, and sophomore forward Tae Davis. The Seton Hall transfer has scored in double figures in five of Notre Dame’s last six games and is also averaging 5.5 rebounds in that span. Shrewsberry is shooting 37% from the 3-point line.

As a team, ND is shooting 40% from the field, 31% from the 3-point line and 33% from the the free-throw line. In Tuesday’s 33-point loss to North Carolina, the Irish were held to 51 points, their lowest point total since December’s home loss against The Citadel.

Notre Dame is holding its opponents to 66.1 points per game, which is close to nine points less than Virginia Tech's team average of 74.7 points per contest. The Hokies are led by Pedulla, guard Hunter Cattoor and center Lynn Kidd, who average 13 or more points a game. Cattoor scored 18 points in the first matchup. Pedulla's 4.6 assists per game rank second in the ACC.
