Notre Dame spotted Duke an early lead on Monday and was never able to fully recover. The Irish feel behind early and trailed by 12 at the half before making several second half runs. They were never able to get closer than 62-63 before eventually falling 74-84 to drop their third game in a row and fourth in five games.
The Irish continued their downward trend in free throw shooting. After leading the nation in free throw shooting earlier this year, Notre Dame has struggled at the line in ACC play. Monday night they connected on just 19 of 28 attempts.
