Down nine-points at halftime, Notre Dame relied on two freshman to help make the comeback. Starting forward Jalen Haralson scored 20-points on the night with the biggest two sending the game into overtime and guard Cole Certa came off the bend to also score 20 shooting 6-of-12 from three.

His status is unknown at the moment, but it didn’t look good as he had to be helped off the court by the training staff. Braeden Shrewsberry and Carson Towt both scored in double-figures, with the big man grabbing 9 rebounds.
