Notre Dame announces nonconference schedule for 2022-23 season
Notre Dame is eager to build on the success it had during the 2021-22 season. It won two NCAA Tournament games, and Blake Wesley became the program’s first one-and-done player after being drafted by the San Antonio Spurs. For the 2022-23 season, the Irish are returning most of their players and have another freshman with high expectations in JJ Starling. We now know how their season will start in that they have released their nonconference schedule.
After everything the Irish accomplished last year, opponents will know not to take them lightly. Mike Brey has recaptured his old magic, and that means a team that should continue to get better. All of this means some quality basketball will be played, and that means a product worth the money paid by the fans who come out to see them. After a Nov. 2 exhibition against New Orleans-based NAIA opponent Xavier, here’s who the Irish will face before playing an ACC schedule that promises even more excitement:
