The Irish walk into Littlejohn with the second-best offense in the ACC. Mike Brey is known around coaching circles for giving his players a lot of freedom to make decisions on offense and he has four players averaging 11.8 ppg or more to show for it. They are filled to the brim with good outside shooters and have one of the best players in the country that no one talks about in John Mooney. Defensively, Notre Dame varies it up quite a bit with full-court pressure, half-court zone and man to man. Their guards are talented and can score in bunches especially when the game tempo is fast which brings me to my first key to the game.
