Playing without forwards JR Inman and Adrian Hill, without their point guard Anthony Farmer (he bruised his shoulder in practice earlier this week) and losing Byron Joynes at the half, the Scarlet Knights really didn’t have much of a chance. The Fighting Irish took advantage of the Knights’ weakened condition as they forced the ball inside early and often. Notre Dame took their first lead at 5-4 and never looked back.
While Marquis Webb managed to step up his scoring (14 points) and Quincy Douby had a game high 27 points, they were no match for the hot handed Irish. Notre Dame shot 58.9% from the floor (33-56) and 47.6% from three-point range (10-21). Ouch!
