Fighting Irish conference schedule notes
• Notre Dame seeks to avenge 2021-22 regular season losses to Duke, Boston College, Florida State and Louisville (X2).
• Miami knocked the Irish out of the 2022 ACC Tournament in the semifinal round. The Hurricanes appear at a tricky spot on the upcoming schedule after an eight-day holiday break.
• The Boston College game is on an odd date, too. Notre Dame is tasked with trying to beat a team it lost to last year on New Year’s Day when plenty of South Bend locals will be out of town for the holidays.
• Former Notre Dame forward Sam Brunelle returns to Purcell Pavilion when Notre Dame plays host to the the Virginia Cavaliers on Jan. 22. Brunelle played in 81 games with three starts for the Irish in three seasons. She averaged 10.0 points in 23.8 minutes per game.
• Louisville beat Notre Dame 73-47 on Feb. 13 and 88-64 in the regular season finale on Feb. 27 last season. The Irish are back to being a contender in the ACC, but they will not realize their goal of winning the conference until they can compete consistently with the Cardinals.
• Notre Dame’s biggest 2021-22 victory was over No. 3 NC State at home, but now the Irish have to go to the Wolf Pack’s house to try to back up their big win in enemy territory on Jan. 29.
