SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) --- Jalen Haralson scored 20 points, Carson Towt had 19
points and 15 rebounds and Notre Dame pulled away late to beat Idaho 80-65
despite playing without leading scorer Markus Burton on Wednesday night.
Burton, who leads the Fighting Irish at 18.5 ppg, was to have had surgery
Wednesday on his left ankle after suffering an injury in Notre Dame's previous
game, an 87-85 overtime win over TCU. He is expected to be out "for the
foreseeable future," according to the school.
Haralson was 8-of-16 shooting and Towt was 9 of 12 in collecting his third
double-double this season. Cole Certa had a trio of 3-pointers and 15 points
and Braeden Shrewsberry made four 3s and scored 14. The Irish (8-3) shot 52%
and made 9 of 14 from the arc in winning their third straight game and
improving to 6-0 at home.
Biko Johnson made three 3s and scored 19 points and Jackson Rasmussen added 16
points though the pair combined for only eight second-half points for Idaho
(6-4). Brody Rowbury added 11 points. The Vandals shot 40% and made 10 of 24
3-pointers.
Tied 33-all at halftime, Notre Dame never trailed in the second half, going up
61-51 with nine minutes to go after Certa scored the first seven points in an
11-2 run. The Vandals got back within four with six minutes left on a Johnson
3-pointer but that was their final field goal. Shrewsberry and Certa hit
3-pointers in a game-ending 12-1 run.
