Notre Dame finished with 24 assists.
Irish freshman Zach Auguste saw the first action of his collegiate career and was a factor in the low post. He finished with four points, three rebounds and two blocks in nine minutes.
“He is very active; there's a lot to work with,” Brey said. “He's going to be important for us long haul.”
Fellow freshman Austin Burgett, who had been a candidate to sit out the season and preserve a year of eligibility, scored two points with a rebound in the final two minutes. Sitting out no longer is an option. And that's OK.
“He said, “I want to do it. I want to get in there,” Brey said. “Then we said, 'Great. No debate here.' So he's part of it.”
