Notre Dame is off to a 1-0 start after putting down Niagara in the season opener. It was almost surreal to watch the Irish under Micah Shrewsberry for the first time after decades of Mike Brey. Add to the many new names on the Irish roster and we’re all trying to get a feel for what may come this year.
One of the new things is freshman Markus Burton who set a Notre Dame freshman record for points scored in a game at 29 — topping LaPhonso Ellis’s 28 during his freshman season in South Bend.
