The Farrell family reunion Monday was one of the best things in college basketball - or sports, really - this year. First Lieutenant Bo Farrell surprised his brother and Notre Dame junior point guard Matt, along with their parents, after the Fighting Irish’s game against Colgate.

First he delivered what the family thought was a recorded message from his station in Afghanistan, but then made his way out to the court for a tearful reunion.

On Thursday, Notre Dame released some extended footage of how the moment came to be.
