NEW YORK — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was on hand to support Notre Dame in the Irish’s thrilling 76-75 victory over Stephen F. Austin on Sunday at Barclays Center.
Christie’s daughter, Sarah, is a team manager and Christie is friends with Irish coach Mike Brey.
“He only shows up for the big games,” Brey cracked when I asked him about it. “He’ll be there in Philly — if Trump will let him.”
Christie has been seen frequently with Donald Trump since dropping his own Presidential bid, with some speculating he’s angling for the Attorney General gig.
Notre Dame (23-11), meantime, advanced to the Sweet 16 where they will play the Xavier-Wisconsin winner on Friday at Wells Fargo Center.
“We’ve been fans for 16 years at Notre Dame and now our daughter’s one of the student-managers for the men’s team so we have even more invested now,” Christie said in the locker room.
