Breakdown:

The Fighting Irish are lead by Jerian Grant, a junior guard that averages 13.4 PPG and 5.7 APG. Down low, Senior Jack Cooley controls the paint with 13 PPG and 10.4 RPG, also adding 41 blocks on the year. This Fighting Irish team is 5thin the country in assists per game, so look for the ball to be spread out on offense. On defense, the Irish pressure shooters into forcing shots they don’t want to take and are known to be physical down low, especially in conference games. Look for mostly man defense to be played against Louisville.
