Notre Dame men's basketball will play its first game of 2024 on Wednesday night as it continues its home slate of games in ACC play.

The Irish (6-7, 1-1 ACC) will host NC State (9-3, 1-0) inside Purcell Pavilion. Notre Dame upset Virginia at home last Saturday and have won two consecutive games. The Wolfpack have won five of their last six with that loss coming at the hands of No. 12 Tennessee, 79-70.

Freshman guard Markus Burton received Rookie of the Week honors in the ACC on Tuesday and leads head coach Micah Shrewsberry's squad at 15.9 points per game. Forward J.R. Konieczny is also averaging double figures with 10.3 points per game.

The Irish are shooting 40% from the field and 28% from the 3-point line. ND has Burton, Konieczny, guards Julian Roper II and Braeden Shrewsberry and forward Carey Booth with at least 40 attempts from the 3-point line so far this season. Roper is shooting the best out of the five from beyond the arc at 36%.

ND is allowing 65.6 points per game, which is nearly 15 points fewer than NC State's team average of 79.8 points per contest. DJ Horne paces the Wolfpack offense with 15 points per game while DJ Burns Jr., Jayden Taylor and Casey Morsell — who have started every game alongside Honre — all average at least 12 points.
