In their last outing, Notre Dame showcased a robust defense coupled with an efficient offense. They emerged victorious over the Louisville Cardinals with a score of 77-68. This win was underpinned by their impressive field goal percentage of 41 percent and an even more remarkable free throw percentage of 80 percent. Their ability to convert from the line could prove pivotal in tight situations.


The Fighting Irish also demonstrated a keen sense for capitalizing on turnovers, scoring 22 points off their opponent's mistakes. With an assist-to-turnover ratio of 0.73, they've shown that they can maintain possession and create scoring opportunities effectively.


Rebounding has been another strong suit for Notre Dame; although they pulled down fewer rebounds than Louisville at 35 compared to Louisville's 42, they made them count by securing nine second-chance points.


As we look towards this matchup, it will be crucial for Notre Dame to maintain these statistical trends against Virginia Tech Hokies' formidable lineup. The venue itself may play a role in this contest; Greensboro Coliseum has been known for its energetic atmosphere which could influence both teams' performances.


Fans can catch all the action on March 9th at 5:00 PM UTC on ACC Network TV or attend live at Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina if they want to witness whether Notre Dame can continue their winning ways and advance further into glory.
