SOUTH BEND – Fighting Irish Wire is on site to cover both Notre Dame basketball games this weekend. However, we are far from the only people who are enthusiastic about the next two days. [autotag]Demetrius Jackson[/autotag] was one of the Irish’s best players during their back-to-back Elite Eight trips in 2015 and 2016, and he hasn’t lost one iota of school spirit. If you don’t believe that, check out this tweet from the man himself:
Supporting @NDmbb today & @ndwbb tomorrow. Gotta love hoops! Let’s get two dubs #GoIrish ☘️
— Demetrius Jackson (@D_Jay11) February 4, 2023
And both programs are grateful for his support:
we love to see it 👏 always appreciate you!

Jackson is acting as a cheerleader for the Irish during an important weekend. A win over Wake Forest would give the men consecutive wins for the first time since they started the season 5-0. Meanwhile, the women beating Duke would break a first-place tie between the programs and put the Irish in the driver’s seat in the ACC. This is the time to follow Jackson’s example and show just as much enthusiasm for both teams.
