North Dakota men’s basketball put up a valiant effort but ultimately fell to Notre Dame with a 75-58 loss in a non-conference game. Despite trailing by just seven points at halftime, the Hawks couldn’t catch up to Notre Dame’s strong second-half performance, resulting in a 2-2 overall record for North Dakota and a 4-0 undefeated streak for the Fighting Irish.
The game started strong for North Dakota, with key plays from players like Eli King and Mier Panoam. The Hawks kept it close in the first half, even pulling within three points before the break. However, Notre Dame came out strong in the second half, going on a 13-3 run early on and maintaining their lead throughout the remainder of the game.
North Dakota is now gearing up for a busy week leading into Thanksgiving, with a game against Loyola Marymount in the Cancun Challenge. This will mark the first time in the Hawks’ DI era that they have played in all four continental United States time zones before December.
Despite the loss, there were some notable performances from North Dakota players, including Treysen Eaglestaff leading the team with 13 points and Dariyus Woodson and Mier Panoam each scoring 11 points. The Hawks showed strengths in three-point shooting, assists, and rebounding, but ultimately couldn’t overcome the strong offensive performance from Notre Dame’s Markus Burton.
