Sunday’s BIG EAST basball series finale between Notre Dame and Pittsburgh has been moved up to a 11:00 a.m. EDT start, due to weather concerns later in the day. Notre Dame will send senior lefthander Tom Thornton to the mound while looking for the series sweep (6-1, 4-3 in the first two games), with Pittsburgh expected to start sophomore righthander Kyle Landis.
