The Notre Dame Fighting Irish basketball team had their last season defined by injuries, and this season is, sadly, heading in the same direction.
Senior guard Rex Pflueger suffered a season ending ACL tear in Notre Dame’s win over the Purdue Boilermakers in the Crossroads Classic.
This is an incredible loss for the Irish on the court, but because Rex is who he is... he’ll be the captain this young team will need off of the court. With Notre Dame’s streaky shooting, defense is what can and will help them win basketball games — and Rex is the best we had.
