the stretch to give Rutgers a chance, but the Scarlet Knights missed three
3-pointers in the final 30 seconds.
Notre Dame (5-2) also got 13 points from Braeden Shrewsberry.

Francis finished with 10 points.
Notre Dame went on a 11-0 run midway through the first half and led by 19
points when Shrewsberry made a 3-pointer with 2:26 left in the frame. Rutgers
scored the final seven points of the half to cut its deficit to 36-24.
Shrewsberry finished the half with 11 points and three 3-pointers, and Burton
added 10 and two 3s.
