picked anywhere from second to fifth
in their inaugural ACC season.
After a two-game exhibition season,
Notre Dame opened with two games
in three days against Miami (Ohio)
and Stetson. The Irish face three stiff
challenges against Big Ten foes away
from home: Iowa (Dec. 3), Indiana
(Dec. 14) and Ohio State (Dec. 21). Two
weeks after facing the Buckeyes, the
Irish welcome No. 4 Duke to Purcell
Pavilion for their conference opener. In
March, Notre Dame will pack up and
head to Greensboro, N.C., for the ACC
Tournament.
Here's a look at Notre Dame's complete schedule and what we've chosen
as clear-cut gimmies (Must Haves),
toss-ups (Bubble Games) and matchups that require an Irish upset (Steals).
Records from the 2012-13 season are in
parentheses.
Must Haves
For Notre Dame to reach the 20-win
plateau for the eighth straight season,
it first must win these games.
