21. Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Previous Ranking: 16

Record: 17-6 (6-4 ACC)

The Irish are starting to tumble down the rankings after losing their third straight game. Things don’t get any easier when the team travels to Chapel Hill for a throwdown with UNC.

V.J. Beachem has done his best to keep Notre Dame in games through the losing streak. The senior scored 23 against Georgia Tech and 20 against Duke. The problem has partially come from a small slump from wing and third-leading scorer Steve Vasturia. The wing has scored just 12 points over the past two games and needs to regain his production if this team wants to make a deep run through the ACC.
