Notre Dame Basketball: Florida State win proves small ball works

Since the Fighting Irish decided they were going to switch from a tradition lineup to a small man set, they’ve found more success than they have all season. With their win over Florida State, a team they desperately needed to beat, Notre Dame proved that if they’re going to win they need to do it through their guards.

The Irish haven’t decided on a rotation yet. In their first game, they started Austin Torres in hopes of providing a reliable middle man between the front and backcourt. Then, Rex Pflueger got the job, and the Irish snapped a four-game losing streak.
