Notre Dame defeated Wake Forest today 85-62 with help from an unfamiliar starter A.J. Burgett. Now if you have been following the Irish for a while now, you know who Burgett is, but we haven’t seen much from the senior this season. In fact before today he only had 11 points on the season.
Seeming almost out of the blue that Burgett would get this start today, a string of events lead to possibly finding a golden line up. Freshman guard Rex Pflueger tweaked his ankle, keeping him limited during the last two practices. Mike Brey has obviously been working with different players throwing them into the line up to see what clicks best.
