Notre Dame Men’s Basketball Preview and Game Thread: Irish VS Lipscomb

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are off to a 3-0 start and Nate Laszewski is running hot. The senior forward is averaging 20 points and 10.7 rebounds a game. The great news is that he certainly doesn’t have to do it alone as Trey Wertz and Dane Goodwin are also getting it done as scorers.

Mike Brey continues to go with a 6 man rotation and along with Wrtz, Goodwin, and Laszewki — fellow senior Cormac Ryan has given big productive minutes for the Irish. The freshman duo of J.J. Starling and Ven-Allen Lubin have proved themselves to be fresh additions to the team as another scorer for the former and a physical presence for the latter.
