Fighting Irish know how to shut it down
Notre Dame’s 44-point margin of victory over St. Bonaventure matches the largest ever in a Sweet 16 contest, a 91-47 win over Purdue in the Midwest Regional semifinal on March 22, 1990.
It was the fewest points Notre Dame has ever allowed in an NCAA Tournament game.
Notre Dame has participated in three previous regional finals, including last year, and this is the first time in school history that the Fighting Irish have made back-to-back Elite Eights.
