Notre Dame men's basketball (1-0) is set to continue its regular season Saturday against Western Carolina (1-0). Tip off is at 2 p.m. ET.
The Irish defeated Niagara, 70-63, on Monday in head Coach Micah Shrewsberry’s debut. Western Carolina also won its season opener, defeating Dalton State 106-65 on Tuesday.
In Monday’s win, Notre Dame was led by freshman guard Markus Burton. The former Mishawaka (Ind.) Penn standout scored 29 points, breaking the single-game point total record for a freshman previously held by LaPhonso Ellis with 27.
Burton was joined in the starting lineup by Julian Roper, Braeden Shrewsberry, Tae Davis and Matt Zona.
Sophomore forward Kebba Njie, who started in Notre Dame’s exhibition against Hanover, missed Monday’s game with a hand injury. He is considered day-to-day and is questionable to play on Saturday.
Bill Bilinski is in the building for our postgame story. I’ll bring updates to this thread throughout the game.
