Notre Dame has seven players who will earn degrees when they graduate in May. No program in college basketball has more players who are about to graduate. They all will be honored for senior day at Purcell Pavilion after they enter the building as Notre Dame players for the final time. Once the pageantry concludes, they will try and help their team defeat Pittsburgh in a crucial game.
It’s been a while since the Irish celebrated a senior day with a lot at stake, but that’s exactly what’s happening. A win not only would give the program a record 15 conference victories, but it also would clinch the second seed in the upcoming ACC Tournament. A loss would mean having to wait for the outcome of the game between Duke and North Carolina, Mike Krzyzewski’s last at Cameron Indoor Stadium. A Tar Heels win after an Irish loss would give the Irish the third seed, but no worse than that.
