The University of Notre Dame earned the 2022 Men’s Capital One Cup in 2021-22, edging the University of Texas 78-73 in the final standings released this summer. It marks the second time the Irish have claimed the Cup title on the men’s side and Notre Dame becomes just the fourth school to claim multiple titles in the competition’s history.
So proud of the work our student-athletes have put in to come out on top.
This is an amazing honor for them, our coaches, our staff and the University.
Two men’s trophies in nine years is a great feat – only four schools have won two total titles!#BeIrish https://t.co/1GdZDbcp31
