Notre Dame Overcomes Cold Shooting to Beat Stanford in ACC Opener

STANFORD, Calif. – A night of dismal shooting defined the ACC opener between Notre Dame and Stanford, with the Fighting Irish ultimately prevailing 47-40 on Tuesday. Jalen Haralson led Notre Dame (10-4) with 13 points, though he struggled from the field, going 5-of-14, and committed eight turnovers. Carson Towt contributed with 10 rebounds and eight points.

Stanford (11-3) also struggled offensively. Chisom Okpara paced the Cardinal with 13 points on equally inefficient 3-of-13 shooting. Oskar Giltay grabbed 11 rebounds and recorded three steals. Freshman standout Ebuka Okorie, who entered the game averaging nearly 23 points, had a particularly rough night, finishing with just seven points on 3-of-14 shooting, including 0-for-6 from beyond the arc.

The game was marred by poor shooting overall, with both teams combining to shoot a meager 28% from the field and 15% from three-point range. Stanford fared even worse, hitting just 23% of their shots from the floor and 13% from three. Stanford missed their last nine shots.

Notre Dame managed to overcome an early 8-0 Stanford run with a 10-0 run of their own, taking a 22-17 lead into halftime. A 10-0 run in the second half sealed the deal for the Irish, holding the Cardinal to just five points in the first eight minutes.

Looking ahead, Stanford will host No. 16 Louisville on Friday, while Notre Dame continues its West Coast swing with a game against Cal on Friday.
