It was close but no cigar for Howard as they fell 77-74 to the Norfolk State Spartans this past Saturday.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 79-73 to the Virginia Tech Hokies. Despite the loss, the Fighting Irish got a solid performance out of forward Paul Atkinson, who had 19 points along with nine boards.
Howard is now 6-7 while Notre Dame sits at 10-6. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Howard ranks 14th in college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 17.8 on average. But Notre Dame enters the contest with only 10.2 turnovers per game on average, good for 20th best in college basketball. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
