It’s been a fairly rough start of the season for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but on Saturday, Micah Shrewsberry’s boys were able to get back to .500 and start off ACC play 1-0. Notre Dame got it done against Syracuse, 69-64 insode Purcell Pavillion in South Bend.
The Syracuse Orange showed strong defensive pressure in the early going that seemed inconsistent with their track record thus far this season. However, Tae Davis was able to get downhill a couple of times for tough buckets and Braeden Shrewsberry converted on a four-point play to give the Irish an early lead.
