IB Nation Sports Talk: Red Hot Notre Dame Hosting NCAA Basketball Tournament

Irish Breakdown has plenty of Notre Dame football and basketball talk

Today's show starts with March Madness. Sean Stires and Vince DeDario discuss Notre Dame women's basketball getting a No. 2 seed and hosting NCAA Tournament games this weekend. Marquette is one of the three teams that will visit South Bend for this weekend's tourney and they have a lot of Notre Dame connections we talk about. 

There's more to discuss in Rapid Fire as well. See the list of topics below. 

Rapid Fire topics include:

* Fill-in the blank…Jordan Faison’s brother Dylan Faison becoming Notre Dame’s first commitment in the 2026 recruiting class today is BLANK.

* Fill-in the blank…Notre Dame announcing a soccer friendly today between Celtic and Chelsea that will be played on July 27th at Notre Dame Stadium is BLANK.

* What non-college football sporting even would you like to see at Notre Dame Stadium?

* Fill-in the blank...The Chicago Bears trading Justin Fields to Pittsburgh for a 2025 6^th round draft pick...that could turn into a 4^th round pick....is BLANK. 

* After being left out of the men’s NCAA Tournament...St. John’s, Pittsburgh and Oklahoma all declined NIT invitations. Do you Buy or Sell turning down NIT invites?

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that six days after being fired after 17 years Long Beach State head coach Dan Monson led the 49ers to three wins in three days to win the Big West tournament and the automatic NCAA bid that comes with it.

* Trev Alberts recently left Nebraska to become the Athletic Director at Texas A&M. Is it fair or foul that A&M and Nebraska have been paired up in the first round of both the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments?
