DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Notre Dame and Oklahoma have gone overtime to develop an NCAA tournament rivalry.
The second-seeded Fighting Irish (28-7) play the Sooners (23-11) in a Dayton regional semifinal on Saturday. It’ll be the third time in the last four years that they’ve played in the tournament. The two previous games went overtime.
Notre Dame won their second-round matchup 79-75 in 2008. Last year, they met in a regional semifinal in Kansas City and Oklahoma beat the second-seeded Fighting Irish in overtime 77-72.
Both teams like to push the pace and take quick shots, so it’s likely to be another back-and-forth game in Dayton.
