While we still don’t know Notre Dame’s complete 2022-23 schedule, we now know of at least two December games. That’s thanks to this tidbit from Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune:
How about a @NDmbb scheduling tidbit?
Notre Dame has added a neutral-site game against Georgia, set for Dec. 18 (Sunday) in Atlanta. Will be part of a doubleheader at State Farm Arena.
Irish will stay in ATL for an ACC game vs. Georgia Tech on Dec. 21.

As this game is being held the weekend before Christmas, it appears to be this year’s replacement for the Crossroads Classic, the annual Indiana college basketball showcase that was held for the final time last season after the Irish opted out of it. The good news is the Irish still will have the luxury of playing in an NBA arena at the same time of year.
The Irish and Bulldogs previously have met three times. They most recently faced each other during the 2011 CBE Classic in Kansas City, Missouri. After having lost twice to the Irish, the Bulldogs got on the board in the all-time series with a 61-57 win.
