No. 3 Notre Dame suffered a second consecutive loss on Thursday as it fell at home to No. 24 Florida State, 86-81. This is the first time the Fighting Irish have lost back-to-back ACC games since 2021.

The loss drops Notre Dame into a first-place tie with NC State in the ACC standings and all but guarantees the Irish will be the No. 2 seed in next week’s ACC Tournament. The Wolfpack holds the tiebreaker with the Irish after last Sunday’s head-to-head win.

Ta’Niya Latson scored 23 points, Makayla Timpson scored 22 and No. 24 Florida State handed No. 3 Notre Dame its second straight loss, 86-81 on Thursday night. It was Florida State's second win over Notre Dame in 15 meetings between the teams and its first in South Bend.
