Point guard Demetrius Jackson is Notre Dame’s leading scorer, averaging 15.5 points per game, but is not the type to take over a game. He drives the ball and is physical but isn’t much of a perimeter threat, shooting only 32% from three-point range. But averages 4.8 assists per game and runs the nation’s 10th most efficient offense. Guard Steve Vasturia also can score (11.8 points per game) and distribute (3.1 assists).
