Katie Holmes & Suri Cruise Get in the March Madness Spirit at Notre Dame Basketball Game

Suri Cruise is a budding sports fan!

The 9-year-old gal made a rare appearance on Sunday when she joined mom Katie Holmes for an NCAA March Madness basketball game at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. A source close to Holmes reveals to ET, "She had family in town and went to the games with them."

Mama and daughter looked to be having an enjoyable time as Notre Dame eked out a close one against Stephen F. Austin State University. This is a stretch, but Holmes may have a connection to the Roman Catholic university, as she attended the name-sharing Notre Dame Academy in Toledo, Ohio, growing up!

Of course, it's possible that going to the game was just a when-in-Brooklyn moment for two basketball fans. They even made it on TV, where Holmes looked intensely focused on the game.
