Notre Dame 84, Georgetown 61: Irish pass first test with flying colors

If you watched Notre Dame’s previous game, you might be forgiven if you didn’t notice Matt Allocco played. His disappearing act was likely partially due to nursing an injury. But this afternoon, he absolutely owned the first half and was the team’s unquestioned MVP. Allocco poured in 15 points on 4-of-5 from three during the first 20 minutes, tacking on three assists for good measure. His only “mistake” was missing a free throw, but even that turned out well after the Irish corralled the offensive rebound and kicked it out to Allocco to drill a three. The man could seemingly do no wrong, and his performance was the story of the day.
