Notre Dame Set to Clash with Syracuse Orange at JMA Wireless Dome

As the Notre Dame Fighting Irish prepare to face off against the Syracuse Orange at the JMA Wireless Dome, fans are anticipating a game that could be heavily influenced by recent trends and performances. The Fighting Irish have shown a mix of results in their past few outings, displaying both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their most recent game against Virginia Tech, Notre Dame emerged victorious with a score of 74-66. Their offense was efficient, shooting 49 percent from the field and an impressive 76 percent from the free-throw line. They also demonstrated strong ball movement with more assists than turnovers, which resulted in an assist-turnover ratio of 2.0.

However, consistency has been a challenge for Notre Dame as evidenced by their performance against Duke where they fell short with only 53 points compared to Duke's 71. In that matchup, their field goal percentage dropped to just 34 percent and they struggled beyond the arc hitting only 26 percent of three-point attempts.

The team's resilience was tested once again when they faced Pittsburgh Panthers; despite losing with a scoreline of 60-70, there were positive takeaways including an impressive free throw percentage of 88 percent and maintaining competitive defensive efforts throughout the game.

As we look ahead to the upcoming clash at Syracuse's home court on February 24th at JMA Wireless Dome – known for its energetic atmosphere – it will be crucial for Notre Dame to capitalize on their strengths while addressing inconsistencies in shooting accuracy and ball handling under pressure.
