In what has turned into an extremely important game for Indiana, the Hoosiers will be forced to stop Notre Dame’s duo of point guard Demetrius Jackson and big man Zach Auguste.
Jackson leads the Fighting Irish in scoring with 17.8 points per game and averages five assists a game. Auguste averages a double-double, 14.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. He’ll be the toughest test IU freshman Thomas Bryant has faced all season.
“He’s really aggressive on the glass, rolling well, posting up, facing up,” IU coach Tom Crean said. “He’s an aggressive guy and he’s been in a lot of games.
