The Blue Devils will come to South Bend Jan. 28, with the Irish making the return visit Feb. 7. Syracuse — a 2013- 14 ACC entrant along with Pittsburgh and Notre Dame — visits South Bend Feb. 24. Notre Dame's Jan. 5 trip to North Carolina will be televised at 7 p.m. on either ESPN or ESPN2 as part of the network's "Big Monday" package. The Irish concluded the 2013-14 regular season in Chapel Hill, N.C., with a 63- 61 "Big Monday" loss to the Tar Heels March 3. The Irish open ACC play Dec. 13 at home against Florida State before briefly continuing their non-confer- ence slate. Notre Dame hosts Georgia Tech Jan. 3 to resume ACC play. Four of the first six conference games are at Purcell Pavilion. Unlike last season, when the Irish endured a three-game road trip during ACC play, there is not a stretch with more than two consecutive games away from home in 2014-15. The final regular-season road game will rekindle a Big East rivalry at Louisville March 4. The Cardinals join the conference one year after the Irish made the transition. Of the last 13 matchups between the programs, seven have required at least one over- time. The most notable of the recent clas- sics between Notre Dame and Louis- ville came at Purcell Pavilion on Feb. 9, 2013, when the Irish prevailed 104-101 in five overtimes. Notre Dame will play home-and- home matchups with Duke, Clemson, Boston College and Georgia Tech.
