Senior guard Cormac Ryan sparks Fighting Irish with seven 3-pointers, career-high 29 points
Notre Dame senior guard Cormac Ryan said the team’s double-overtime First Four victory over Rutgers not two days earlier was like a dream.
“To be able to grit it out — people were saying double overtime, long flight , legs are going to be tired. We were gunning and we were ready to go. And it just feels special. It feels special for us. And it’s our time.”Notre Dame , seeded 11th in the West Regional, advanced to a second-round game Sunday against third-seeded Texas Tech , which defeated No. 14 Montana State 97-62 in Friday’s opening game.
Said Ryan: “I was just letting it fly. And when you have it rolling, you have it rolling. So picked a good night for it, I guess.” A trainer attended to him before Quinerly was helped from the floor. He wore a knee brace and was on crutches while sidelined the remainder of the game. It wasn’t nearly enough to stop Notre Dame, which, despite using only seven players, showed no signs of fatigue from Wednesday night/Thursday morning’s win over Rutgers.
