Notre Dame to Play St. John’s at Joyce Center

As you’re probably aware the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to play the St. John’s Red Storm tonight at the Joyce Center on the Notre Dame campus.  For a team full of seniors, this game takes on special meaning, as it’s the last time they’ll compete before the home crowd at the gym that’s been their home for the past four years. Ryan Ayers, Zach Hillesland, Kyle McAlarney and Luke Zeller were the senior captains of the team this year. A special ceremony will honor their achievements. When you check out the pregame page at UND.com, you’ll see that this class has been highly successful, having achieved a record of 81-43 (.653) overall, and 38-29 (.567) in the Big East. They’ve been to the NCAA Tournament three years in a row, and could make it a fourth if they can win the Big East Tournament.

The game tonight should be a good one, and as we’ve mentioned before it’s the last time this season you’ll get to see the men’s basketball team play at home. We expect a big turnout, so you might want to check with StubHub when the Joyce Center sells out. Go Irish!
