Winning a college basketball game is tough enough — but the Notre Dame Fighting Irish continually make it harder for themselves in season one of the Micah Shrewsberry era. Notre Dame just dropped a tough game to NC State at home in a contest that only saw the Irish trail for about 1 second during the entire game. Giving up offensive rebounds was a major reason for that late collapse, and it’s hard to see a real answer to that issue this season.
Still... things could feel a lot better of Notre Dame can get the job done at home against the Duke Blue Devils.
