The Notre Dame men’s basketball team will hold a one-hour practice session that will be open to the public from 10:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. (ET) on Friday evening at Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center.

The doors will remain open all evening prior to the practice as a result of Notre Dame’s volleyball game against DePaul at 7:30 p.m., at Purcell Pavilion. Fans are encouraged to attend both events. The start time of the practice could begin after 10:00 p.m., but not earlier, and will be dependent on the length of the volleyball match. Irish players will be available for an informal autograph session following the open practice.

If you can’t attend the open practice, follow the live blog on UND.com. Fans can ask questions to gain insight into how the Irish are looking during their first day of official practice for the 2010-11 campaign.
