We have just over a month of 2020 to go, and it seems like we’ve seen it all. Talk to anyone on the street, and chances are they want 2021 to get here quickly. It didn’t seem possible for things to get any weirder. Then, Mike Brey tweeted this:
This is not a drill!@NDmbb looking for an opponent Dec. 4/5.
And we will travel… (safely of course)
Reach out and let’s hoop.

You read that right: Brey has taken to social media to try and round out Notre Dame’s 2020-21 schedule. To the surprise of no one, people started replying and quote tweeting with some very creative ideas. Not only did users call for teams at every level of college basketball to accept the invitation, but a few went as far as inviting the Irish to their own private, not-regulation courts. After all, how often do you get to play pickup basketball with a Division I power conference team?
As of now, no official announcement on this would-be opponent has been made. Meanwhile, the Irish begin their season Saturday at No. 13 Michigan State. Their first home game will be Wednesday against Western Michigan.
