Notre Dame and St. John’s should never play when there’s no sitting pope. Because with no one to make sure they’re behaving, all hell broke loose last night.

As Irish senior Jack Cooley was getting his send-off from the South Bend crowd, the Red Storm’s Sir’Dominic Pointer got into an altercation with Cameron Biedschied. Things escalated and Pointer landed a punch to Biedschied’s face.

The sinners were both sent off for the night and Pointer can probably expect some more severe punishment.
