The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team put up a pathetic performance against the #9 Duke Blue Devils at Purcell Pavilion this evening, losing by a final score of 57 to 43 in a game where they only managed 14 points in the first half due to Duke’s stifling defensive effort.
The Irish were led on the evening by Paul Atkinson Jr., who scored 14 points and snagged 9 rebounds on the game. In terms of guys who really played decently, that’s about it. Dane Goodwin scored 0 points while going 0-for-7 from the field, and Blake Wesley shot 3-for-15 en route to scoring just 6 points.
