Scheduling a game with Le Moyne
[edit]Although a December non-conference game against Le Moyne, a team in the second year of a four-year transition to Division I status, may not appear notable at first glance, it finally fulfills a wish expressed by Notre Dame athletic director Moose Krause nearly 70 years earlier. The NCAA had not yet created separate divisions in 1955, but the Associated Press classified basketball teams as either major programs or small colleges, and Le Moyne was in the small college group. However, the Dolphins played a 19-game schedule during the 1954–55 season, finishing 11–8, and more than half of Le Moyne's games were against major programs. The Dolphins were 5–5 in matchups with major programs, including a win over no. 20 Western Kentucky State.[8] Krause was the keynote speaker at an event at Le Moyne after the season, and he said that he hoped a basketball game between Notre Dame and Le Moyne could be arranged in the not too distant future.[9] In the first-ever meeting between the programs, the Fighting Irish went on a 16–2 run over a span of 4:27 to extend their three-point lead to 34–17. The Dolphins were unable to close the gap, and Notre Dame cruised to a 91–62 victory. Tae Davis scored 24 points to lead the Irish and added six rebounds.[10]
