Notre Dame used a dramatic 8-0 run in the final minute of regulation last night to knock out 7th seeded Wisconsin and advance to its second Elite 8 in as many years after not dancing that far into the NCAA Tournament since 1979 before last season. With Notre Dame’s 61-55 victory, the Irish now advance for a rubber match with North Carolina with a trip to the Final 4 on the line Sunday night. Here are all the highlights.

A great run that I wasn’t expecting for this year’s team. Ashame it had to end at the Elite 8, though they hung tough with NC for most of the game. Two Elite 8’s in two years though, maybe that will help recruiting and perhaps they can build off that.
