Notre Dame vs. Syracuse Game Highlights | 2023-24 ACC Men’s Basketball

And Malik Brown to jump Center Kevin ji from Notre Dame and it’s the orange with a basketball First shows up here this afternoon on Jim beheim day keev J over the left shoulder and he’s got the Irish on the board first you don’t expect a guy of his size

To control the game defensively the way he does Davis Deo lines up the three and buries it they’re used to it yeah Fighting Irish spent quite a bit of time here in the building last night getting acclimated mince gets the orange on the board the fans inside the JMA Wireless

Dome now take a seat it’s been a whirlwind 10 11 months since he got the job and it’s not going to slow down for a while it won I asked him earlier did he have a chance to enjoy it yet he says he hadn’t and I don’t know if he will

Cuz soon as the season ends he’s got to get right out the recruiting Bell hits his first shot of the afternoon this is a Syracuse team looking for its 18th win of the Year 17 and 10 overall mince try to complete the steel has the ball dumps it off

Starling and can the can the orange rebound Burton bounces it inside and a powerful Slam by Carrie boo JJ Starling he kicked [Applause] it Bell that’s not his game but somehow manages to get it in and Buddy is with the Detroit Pistons he was just resigned

To a two-way contract he spent all of this season with their g-league affiliate Judah M count the basket in one this is just part of what noted aim has to do better but what Syracuse does defensively they’re active with their hands Jud to Min as we mentioned in it

The fact that this team is still very much together they endured a seven game losing streak earlier in the year nice move to the bucket by Malik Brown for his first two points but you know when a team doesn’t win it can easily fracture but that clearly has not happened with

This Notre Dame team it has not but the one thing that they did doing that stretch that they’re not doing now is communicating they were talking communicating a lot right now the noise is bothering they seem to be a little bit distracted with everything that’s going on

And a lot of dribbling here with the basketball they’re not moving their bodies in the ball Roker nonetheless able to put it in shb just driving around taking on his sites and stuff that they enjoy seeing he says he’s a big college football fan so he enjoyed

That as well and Drew the mix picking up where he left off catching a lot back which is something not many of us could do maybe you no no no JJ staring who has been better at hunting his [Applause] shot Copeland give it off we have seen

That combo time and time again this year Copeland to Brown they got to help him in the post if he gets posted up but he’s got to stay aggressive don’t worry about turnover just play in Justin Taylor back into the game for Syracuse here’s mince off the drive from

Copeland Starling from the left wing left it short Fighting Irish to a really nice job on the glass they don’t have a dominant rebounder but they’ve got a number of guys including Batman Jr kesn who average between four and six rebounds kesn another local from right

There in South Bend has his first two points you won’t find any easier than that for kesn coming in known for more of a perimeter player but taking a strong to the basket there Taylor off the nice feed from Brown Starling the finger War and the

Foul he will be at the free throw line when we come back go way back we also saw his lovely wife and so Malik Brown able to take a seat at least for a moment and without Malik Brown in there the Syracuse defense allows an easy bucket

Inside to Kev A J there car didn’t drop that he didn’t drop below and that’s his responsibility it’s got to instantly drop Syracuse one of the adjustments they make in that zone is if it’s a shoot at the center will step up if it’s not they’ll Drop Syracuse outside of Judah m the guards are pretty big and S of there just overpower kesn Here Comes Burton as Randolph said likely the fastest in the league with a basketball instead it’s another Irish turnover mince at the other end the Irish has taking care of the

Basketball and they hurt themselves by turning it over another basket off the turnover ball movement leads to a starling layup Brown fights for it goes to the left hand and coming out of that timeout can the Fighting Irish close the half strong and get themselves back into it not if

Malik Brown has anything to say about it as yet to score for Notre Dame that also a problem they need to get him going Starling for the iris what player would it be he said it to be DAV Riv okay and that’s wasn’t an indictment on Burton it

Was just a general conversation yeah I find that interesting that he pick David Rivers I assume that means more that he loved David as opposed to what his team needs Davis there you go able to get right to the cup yeah well the most points allowed in a half this season by

Notre Dame was against Marette when they put up 52 beautiful spin move and finished by Marcus Burton try to get the match up they want Burton attacks the defender goes down and Burton lays it in he’s starting to heat up now the final 15 seconds of the

Half Burton has to be careful here he has to two seconds one rer beats to buzzer and bouns in a three still active playing defense and Roper just walks into one I think he called glass he 20 minutes in the score T I think it’s [Applause]

Good Taylor goes back door again and for the third time here this afternoon on a feed from Malik Brown times when your Defender is over playing for that dribble hand off his head turns your back door and he has not gotten a double figure since all the way back in the non-conference against

Niagara started off the year really well double figures in first a couple of games this year and bar sitting in the paint sitting at the free throw line so that midr shot they’re going to concede that Bren Shrewsberry his first three points he shooting so well from behind

The three-point line coming into in this today in the three-game win streak he was 16 to 24 from behind him wow you want to get him going and shooting as many as you can including seven of 11 the last time out against Louis here he is spotting up

Wide open he can heat up in a hurry they really really played better and better every game Burton for three he’s got it the Irish continue we have great fans and that’s part of what makes a good basketball program if you don’t have great fans you can’t have a good

Program mince commits the foul and Burton continues to heat up he’s got a chance for three I’ve seen Notre Dame a few times as I said this young guard here is going to be really really good these next couple plays are big so if you were back on that bench where you

Spent so much time Brown can’t finish the lob what would you be telling the guys right now well Adrien did just what he should do there he ran a great play and they missed the layup where crd is in the dome getting little ansy where does

Coaching your boys rank on your list of accomplishments it was great it was fun coach them they’re great kids it was fun really fun 280 in defense so it wasn’t fun but it was great having them [Applause] here the Irish get a good look Boo has it rattle out Davis on the offensive

Glass he missed it but another opportunity for Notre Dame is cashed in it’s back to an 11-point game there’s one thing that the that the orange don’t do very well and that is rebound and that’s the strength of this Irish team yeah we’re not we look out

There there’s four guards and a forward when you look at our team and you know we’ve had some we battled some but we’ve had some bad games rebounding the ball Burton gets to the basket able to score over Bell and this is the problem with Chris Bell he’s a great offensive player

He’s got to step up there and get in front and mince to Brown steps through the double team and lays it in Lee Brown is just so underrated think about after the game two or three missed layups and all of a sudden they’re right back in the game wow Marcus Burton with

A highlight reel move to the basket Irish back within 11 I know alre is upset with that because the game plan was to Corral him you can’t allow him come at you with his speed and transition and not have more bodies around the basketball well he’s been one

Of the most impressive freshman in the leag he is Bell puts it up and the worst of anybody have every they just did everything I think that team was top five in the offensive efficiency and defensive join us here for the last few minutes on Jim beheim de a he’s amazing

I’m glad he took the time to come hang out with us wow Burton up to 21 points in counting number zero in white mince banking at home working on Logan Imes for two [Applause] more Logan arm’s going to need some help and that’s no indictment no no no

Heck of a player and sure is sh to mention you got to just slide somewhere you can’t allow him to play one-on-one here Shrewsberry boy he’s got a pretty stroke didn’t see much contact there [Applause] but so now Copeland has the ball in his hands scoop pass cut layup ass

Probably known for his defense and he comes in there and just cuts to the rim and just rewarded for his ball his body movement Shrewsberry doesn’t matter if you contest him if he’s lined up and his shot ready he can make that shot six from distance same for Bella on the

Other side but Notre Dame is right in this got to get back if you’re orange you don’t want to leave Marcus Burton here one-on-one Bell recovers to block the shot it goes out of bounds the Irish now are confident J with an easy layup in that zone back in at the next stoppage

Bell it’s another assist from the paint by Brown he held the NCAA single game assist record and the all-time career assist record both since broken B continuing to impose his will ball in his hands and now they’re the aggressor attacking the paint Burton with another chance at an n

One t penetrates and lays it in Kyle cuff known for his defense SOA I can score it a little bit too when I get an opportunity there Burton again all the way to the basket they found something in that middle ball screen there just getting down H Little Resistance there

And the orange are going to have to switch that or figure out another way to Coral the ball Jud let’s see if Burton has an answer against his team defensively even in their seven game losing streak no one scored more than 73 JJ Starling on the

Move teams as a professional as you went from place to place you’ve got to find your way and you can’t just necessarily come in and take over Booth slams it down Copeland probing spinning twice puts it up and in big guards for the orange even mitz slay’s bigger than his size but

He’s still a 64 guard himself and there nothing but eyes out there they’re going to be able to post up T Davis with the huge Hammer just keep Coming Roper and boo defending out front mince penetrates and rattles it [Applause] home and that matched up no one picked up Burton here TR bar boy that was beautiful you can see it coming we’re at the guts of the game now the Irish has to get stops darling no

Yes shrewbury with a hand in his face and again Copeland is 66 long and had his hand right in Grill of the shooter from long range when you shoot it like this and you get this off so quickly I mean that is up and out and from Burton I’m just putting my head

Down and getting to the rim here he goes banking at home 11.5 on the clock when they are rolling they can put points on the board in a hurry so here’s cuff six of 12 on the year now six of 13 the heave is going to come up short and the orange ser

[Applause] five

The Orange got out to a big first-half advantage and survived to the final buzzer to get an 88-85 victory over Notre Dame. Judah Mintz led the way with 21 points on 7 of 14 shooting, and Chris Bell chipped in with 18 points and 4 rebounds for Syracuse. Markus Burton scored 28 points with 3 rebounds and 8 assists for the Irish.
