Here are all of the highlights from Notre Dame’s latest victory!
Great win for the Irish. You can see, though, how not having a long bench can affect the Irish when facing a good team. NC has a large bench to pull from so they were starting to wear down ND. Another minute or two and the result may have been different.
Earlier in the game, the Irish were leading relatively comfortably.
