We’re one game into basketball season on the men’s side and already things are being affected in a big way.
The 0-1 Fighting Irish saw their game against Tennessee that was scheduled to be played this Saturday canceled due to a COVID-19 outbreak with the Volunteers basketball team. As a result, Mike Brey took to Twitter in search of an opponent on short notice.
As it turns out, he and Notre Dame were able to find one as the Irish will now take on Purdue Fort Wayne on Saturday morning with tip-off scheduled for 11 a.m. ET at Purcell Pavillion.
Notre Dame is 0-1 on the season after losing their opener at Michigan State on Saturday. Brey and the Fighting Irish return to the court this Wednesday when they play host to Western Michigan.
