Of course, they still have to run the table in order to get into the dance, but they’re at least alive. That’s all you can ask for right now!
All you can do is earn the right to play 40 more minutes of basketball!

Now, Notre Dame has a date Wednesday night against UNC. Odds are their season is coming to an end, but at least they have this awesome moment.
