Martinas Geben was a beast on the glass with 10 rebounds, seven of which came on the defensive end of the court. Temple Gibbs was the man spreading the ball around, dishing out five assists in the game.

They are averaging 40 rebounds per game while creating 20.3 assists per night.
On the defensive end of the court, the Fighting Irish are holding their opponents to just 53.7 points a game. They have been averaging an impressive 11.3 steals a night while blocking an average of 5.7 shots a game.
Colorado will be a test to see if they can play tight D against a better program.
Colorado Buffaloes
Colorado was able to build a 25 point lead after the first 20 minutes against UL Monroe, but were out scored 47 to 41 in the second half.
Josh Fortune was able to rack up 14 points in the game after draining each of his 10 shots from the charity stripe.
Derrick White led the team with four assists while Wesley Gordon came down with nine rebounds.
The Buffaloes will need to be able to finish and play an entire game if they want to remain unbeaten against Notre Dame.

Free Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Colorado Buffaloes NCAAB Prediction:
Both of these teams have yet to play any serious competition this season, making it difficult to come up with a comparison.
Watching the Buffaloes allow UL Monroe to make a run in the second half scares me a little when it comes to whether or not they can run the floor with the Irish for a full 40 minutes.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Notre Dame -1.5
I think Notre Dame’s brings a stronger defense on the floor and they have also been shooting a higher percentage from the field. They are averaging double digits in steals per game and I think turnovers will be a factor for Colorado.
