The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team defeated the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at home in the first ACC game of the season for the two teams, winning 68 to 59 as Mike Brey tied Digger Phelps for the school record of 393 wins.
The game began slowly for both teams in the first half, as each squad failed to score until the 17:30 mark, when a Ben Lammers jumper opened the floodgates and spurred a flurry of made shots for both sides.
Georgia Tech jumped out to a 17-10 lead, though, on the backs of Lammers, Josh Okogie, and Tadric Jackson, aided by Notre Dame turnovers and missed jump shots.
