On Saturday, No. 8 Notre Dame earned a share of the Big East regular season basketball title after surviving a determined rally from UConn. Despite Kemba Walker’s 34 points, the Huskies fell at home, 70-67.

The Irish managed to recover in the final minutes, however. Down three points with the game clock in single digits, UConn had a chance to send the game to overtime, but were unable to get a shot in the air before the buzzer. Walker had a spectacular day in a losing effort, scoring 34 points and going a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line.
