There was only one season in which the trio of [autotag]Rex Pflueger[/autotag], [autotag]John Mooney[/autotag] and [autotag]Matt Ryan[/autotag] played together at Notre Dame. That was the 2016-17 season, the last time the Irish made the NCAA Tournament before this past year. However, that was enough to make all of them good friends because Pflueger tweeted out this photo:

It appears the three were at Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics. The photos had to have been taken the day before these were posted because that series wasn’t in action the night of the tweet. Plus, you can see that the tweet was sent from California, so the conclusion is easy to come to.
It’s nice to see the strong brotherhood that college basketball provides on display. It always seemingly comes together after players have left their respective programs. No one at FTX Arena probably recognized them, but that’s probably how they wanted it. After all, it’s nice to watch basketball with your friends and not be bothered.
