Despite both schools being better known for their football prowess. both Notre Dame and Ohio State have accomplished quite a bit on the basketball court.
The two have combined to make 65 NCAA Tournaments (Notre Dame 36, Ohio State 29) while 21 times has one of them appeared in the Elite 8 (Ohio State 14, Notre Dame 7).
The two have also combined for 11 Final Four appearances with Notre Dame getting there in 1978 while Ohio State has been there 10 times, most recently in 2012.
So maybe Ohio State has done more on the biggest stage of college basketball than Notre Dame, but that will only bring more excitement to the 2020 ACC/Big Ten Challenge as Notre Dame is set to host the Buckeyes in early December according to Jon Rothstein.
