In their last outing on December 21st against the Broncos, Notre Dame displayed a level of play that can only be described as superior. They put up a staggering 84 points, dwarfing their opponents' 47. Their offensive prowess was matched by an equally impressive defensive effort, with 6 blocks and 11 steals contributing to a robust defense that left little room for the Broncos' offense.


The statistics from this game alone paint a clear picture: ND's field goal percentage stood at an efficient 45 percent while they dominated in rebounds with a total of 55 – indicating both scoring efficiency and control over the board. Moreover, their assists-to-turnover ratio was an outstanding 1.62, showcasing their ability to maintain possession and create scoring opportunities.


Against Purdue Boilermakers on December 17th, ND once again proved why they are ranked number 14 nationally. They won convincingly with a scoreline of 76-39. Their fast-break points were through the roof at 26 – signaling that when it comes to transition play, ND is lethal.


The Lafayette Leopards also fell victim to ND's relentless attack on December 7th as they were outscored by more than double – ND notching up an incredible score of 96 points against Lafayette's modest tally of just under half that amount (42). This game highlighted Notre Dame’s ability to score in paint with ease; accumulating an impressive total of 52 points from such plays.


While it is important not just focus solely on one side’s capabilities - it must be noted that NC State Wolfpack will come into this game looking for redemption after previous losses - however given recent form; it seems unlikely they will find much reprieve against this formidable Notre Dame side.


Fans should mark their calendars for February15th when these two teams clash at Purcell Pavilion in South Bend, IN. The scheduled tip-off is set for just before prime time at around six o'clock local time (6:00 PM EST). For those who cannot make it in person but wish not miss out on what promises be another stellar performance by Fighting Irish; tune into your local sports network or stream online where available.
