The Notre Dame Fighting Irish played a mostly close game against the Virginia Cavaliers in ACC play, but were unable to overtake a 4 point deficit with less than 3 minutes in the game, to finally lose 66-57.
The #23 ranked Cavs got beat up by Gonzaga in the previous game, but in what was their conference opener, they remained a giant thorn in Notre Dame’s side. Nate Laszewki led all scorers with 28 points on the night, and Juwan Durham added 19 of his own — but there was little to no help from the other payers surrounding the big men.
