NIT Semifinals: Notre Dame Fighting Irish Face Penn State Nittany Lions for Ticket to Finals

The NIT will have its final two teams standing by the end of the night and one of those teams will be either the Notre Dame Fighting Irish or the Penn State Nittany Lions as the two teams square off in New York’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday evening.

Notre Dame started the season with high expectations and were ranked in the Top 10 for some time but a seven game slide midway through the season derailed their hopes and then late season losses to Connecticut and Villanova sealed their fate. The Irish, led by second-team All America Luke Harangody, have played all three of their NIT games at home, knocking off UAB, New Mexico and Kentucky to reach the semis.

Penn State was snubbed by the NCAA tournament despite picking up wins over Michigan State, Purdue (twice) and Illinois and the Nittany Lions almost proved the committee right in their first round match-up in the NIT when they needed overtime to beat George Mason. They have since knocked off Rhode Island and Florida to reach the semis and will now face their biggest challenge in Notre Dame.

Tip off for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Penn State Nittany Lions is set for 9:00 p.m. ET.
