The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team defeated the Howard Bisonthis afternoon, winning by a final score of 71-68 at Burr Gymnasium.
Nate Laszewski had a huge day for the Irish down low, leading the Irish in minutes played (36), rebounds (13), and assists (2), as well as sharing the team lead in points (17).
Dane Goodwin was another key force on offense, posting 17 points to tie Laszewski for the team-high on the day, with Blake Wesley chipping in from the backcourt as well (13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals). Notre Dame was efficient in a game that Howard continuously threatened to take the lead in (and for a brief stretch did lead), shooting 52% from the field on the afternoon.
