Micah Shrewsberry’s Outburst After Notre Dame’s Loss to Louisville
Another disappointing defeat for Notre Dame’s basketball team, which was expected to contend for a spot in the NCAA Tournament this season.
Notre Dame’s season has been tough, to say the least, and their 75-60 loss to Louisville on Sunday night marked one of the lowest points of the year.
The defeat was their fourth in the last five games, leaving them with an 11-14 record overall and just 5-9 in the ACC, which is weaker than it has been in years.
Year two under Micah Shrewsberry was supposed to bring improvement, but instead, things seem to be getting worse.
The frustration felt by fans is shared by Shrewsberry himself. After the loss, he went on a two-and-a-half-minute tirade about the state of the program and its future direction.
Nick Shepkowski’s Quick Take:
Just over two weeks ago, Notre Dame entered what appeared to be a favorable stretch of games against ACC bottom-dwellers like Miami, Florida State, Virginia Tech, and Boston College, where a turnaround seemed possible.
However, instead of improving, Notre Dame squandered games late, lost three out of four, and was blown out at home by a suddenly-resurgent Louisville team.
Shrewsberry emphasized remembering the date of this moment, hinting that it could mark a turning point for the program.
It will definitely be a date Notre Dame fans won’t forget, but whether it’s remembered as a turning point or a symbol of Shrewsberry’s tenure remains to be seen.
Whether or not he meant to, Shrewsberry’s dramatic outburst may have added pressure on himself moving forward.
Now, with only six regular-season games remaining in 2024-25, what can Shrewsberry and his team do to set the stage for a potential breakthrough in 2025-26?
