SOUTH BEND, Ind. - It's been a season full of growing pains for a young Notre Dame men's basketball roster, and those growing pains continued into conference play as the Irish dropped their second ACC matchup in a row.

After falling to a top-ten Virginia Tech squad on the road, the Irish came back to Purcell Pavilion to host Syracuse but once again struggled to find the winning plays down the stretch. The Irish fell 72-62.

Hear from head coach Mike Brey on the loss, and also on the future of captain Rex Pflueger, who will return for another season after rehabbing his knee injury.
