Notre Dame Hoops Defeats Caldwell in Final Tune-Up Game

The Notre Dame men's basketball team took care of business in their second of two preseason exhibitions, defeating Caldwell University by 29 points.

The Notre Dame men's basketball team struggled early once again before coasting to an 81-56 victory over Division II's Caldwell University (NJ). For the second straight exhibition game, the Irish starters looked sluggish to start the game, allowing the Cougars to jump out to an 8-2 lead after some easy buckets. However, early moves to the bench paid off for Mike Brey, and the Irish quickly rattled off a 15-2 run to take control of the game.
