The Notre Dame Men’s Basketball team is ready to make a significant jump in the ACC conference this season.<\/p>\n
One of the big upsides for the Irish is returning scoring talent.<\/p>\n
For the second straight year, Head Coach Micah Shrewsberry will have a returning roster with the highest scoring by percentage of any ACC school at nearly 55 %. <\/p>\n
One of those players responsible for the Irish scoring is starting guard Markus Burton, who is averaging nearly 21-points per game.<\/p>\n
The Irish also bring in freshman guard Jalen Haralson from La Lumiere, who is the highest-rated prospect who averaged nearly 16-points per game for the Lakers.<\/p>\n
With many returning players and some new faces for the Irish.<\/p>\n
Head Coach Micah Shrewsberry says this team is ready to take the next step.<\/p>\n
We have talked about our mentality as a team. We have to be tougher; we need to win games down the stretch. We were 6 – 7 in games where they were 6 points or less, we got to win those games down the stretch, and that starts with your mentality. A lot of those we had double digit leads. So, let’s be tougher mentality and physically this year” says Shrewsberry. <\/p>\n
The Fighting Irish will host Depaul University in an exhibition game this Friday at 6:00 PM ET.<\/p>\n
Then the Irish will open the season on Monday, November 3rd against LIU Brooklyn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Notre Dame Men’s Basketball team is ready to make a significant jump in the ACC conference this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[40182,402,16182,134127,126810,30497,26219,398,400,401,8393,26270,99],"class_list":["post-244928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-basketball","tag-acc","tag-basketball","tag-fighting-irish","tag-jalen-haralson","tag-markus-burton","tag-mens-basketball","tag-micah-shrewsberry","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-basketball","tag-ncaabasketball","tag-notre-dame","tag-scoring","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
