Saint Mary’s @ Notre Dame
Current Records: Saint Mary’s 5-0; Notre Dame 2-0
What to Know
The Saint Mary’s Gaels will take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at 11:30 p.m. ET on Monday at Michelob Ultra Arena.
The Gaels netted a 73-64 win over the Bellarmine Knights last Wednesday. Saint Mary’s’ forward Matthias Tass was one of the most active players for the squad, picking up 25 points along with six boards.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame beat the High Point Panthers 70-61 last week. Notre Dame got double-digit scores from four players: forward Paul Atkinson (19), guard Dane Goodwin (12), forward Nate Laszewski (10), and guard Cormac Ryan (10).
Barring any buzzer beaters, Saint Mary’s is expected to win a tight contest. Those burned by picking them against the spread last Wednesday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
Their wins bumped Saint Mary’s to 5-0 and Notre Dame to 2-0. We’ll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when the Gaels and the Fighting Irish clash.
