The Success of Notre Dame Basketball...


I believe this graphic will surprise a lot of people...

Here's what I find interesting --- there is not a single team on this list -- that is ranked ahead of Notre Dame Football in all-time wins.  It just goes to show how hard it is to have enduring success in both sports.

  1. Michigan:  962
  2. NOTRE DAME:  929*
  3. Ohio State:  924
