Wade: Wolfpack Gave It Away Late in Notre Dame OT

NC State led by seven late in regulation but couldn’t finish against Notre Dame’s zone, then fell 96-90 in overtime. Will Wade said the team had good looks but failed to drive and draw fouls, shot poorly (3-for-22 after halftime), and let the game slip away, despite Ven being effective and Haralson exploiting matchup edges. The loss extends a rough stretch (four of five) as the Wolfpack chase an NCAA bid, and Wade took responsibility for not being fully prepared.

Jeremiyah Love clocks 4.36 at 2026 NFL Combine, turning heads

Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love ran an official 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, the second-fastest among running backs and aligning with Jahmyr Gibbs’ 2023 mark. He sat out the vertical and broad jumps but impressed in drills, finishing Indy with a flip to close. Love said 4.3 is good and he would have liked a faster time, but plans to skip Notre Dame’s pro day while supporting teammates. Coming off 1,372 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns as a junior and a third-place finish in the 2025 Heisman voting, his draft destination remains highly speculative.

Love Almost Joined Michigan Before Choosing Notre Dame

Jeremiyah Love revealed on The Rich Eisen Show that he was “very, very close” to selecting Michigan on signing day but stuck with Notre Dame due to a lack of connections there. He went on to become a standout at ND, compiling 1,125 rushing yards and 17 TDs in 2024, setting ND’s single-season TD record in 2025, and later emerging as a 2026 NFL Draft prospect after 1,372 rushing yards and 18 TDs. He also notched a memorable 98-yard TD run vs. Indiana in the playoff run and is preparing for the NFL Scouting Combine.

Notre Dame coach Shrewsberry hobbles off with suspected Achilles after Duke rout

Notre Dame was routed 100-56 by No. 1 Duke as head coach Micah Shrewsberry injured his lower left leg, later reported as an Achilles injury, and left the court in a walking boot with assistance. He returned briefly in the second half but remained seated much of the time. The Irish were also missing their top scorers Markus Burton and Jalen Haralson with ankle injuries, and it’s unclear whether Shrewsberry will coach in the next game versus NC State.

CFP 2026 reshapes access and payouts with Notre Dame guarantee and auto-bids

The College Football Playoff will stay at 12 teams in 2026, but major changes are in place: each Power 4 conference champion and the top Group of 6 champion are guaranteed auto-bids, Notre Dame earns a spot if ranked in the top 12, and revenue is redistributed so the Big Ten and SEC each pull about 29% of the pot while the ACC gets ~17%, the Big 12 ~15%, and the Group of 6 ~9% (per-school figures: >$21M for Big Ten/SEC, ~$13M for ACC, ~$12M for Big 12, ~$1.8M for Group of 6; Oregon State and Washington State life add-ons of about $3.6M each). Notre Dame’s payout would exceed $12M annually plus a $6M bonus when invited. There are no performance bonuses, and the framework follows a 2024 memorandum of understanding, with expansion beyond 12 still a possibility for the future.

Tar Heels ignite from deep as Wilson leads UNC past Notre Dame, 91-69

UNC rode a perimeter eruption to a 91-69 victory over Notre Dame at the Smith Center, led by Caleb Wilson’s 22 points and 7 rebounds as eight Tar Heels hit 3-pointers. Wilson emphasized his work on the outside, while Hubert Davis praised getting the ball inside to generate good looks from beyond the arc. The balanced shooting and post-driven approach helped UNC post one of its best offensive efficiencies this season against a top-100 opponent, signaling potential for a more potent three-point attack.
