It’ll be just a quick recap from me today, as I half-watched while putting in some extra hours for the business factory.
This game never quite got out of hand, but the Irish had the game firmly in control the whole way, despite some shaky outside shooting. In the first half, it was quickly established that Notre Dame could penetrate the lane at will, while North Dakota often resigned itself to shooting threes, which Micah Shrewsberry clearly understood was not a team strength. The Fighting Hawks went 4-16 in the first half from deep, while Notre Dame only attempted six due to being in attack mode most of the half.
