Irish Close Out Non-Conference Slate At No. 4 Tennessee
Notre Dame will close out both the 2006 calendar year and the non-conference portion of its schedule on Saturday when it takes on No. 4 Tennessee at 2 p.m. (ET) from Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville. It’s the second of three games in a six-day span for the Irish, as well as the second of four road games in the next six for Notre Dame.
The Irish returned from the Christmas break in a big way on Thursday, leading right from the opening tip in a 94-55 rout of Prairie View A&M at the Joyce Center. Notre Dame used a 26-5 early in the first half to push its lead well past 20 points, with the final margin being its largest in nearly four years. For the most part, the Irish looked sharp at both ends with a .516 field goal percentage while forcing 28 PVAMU turnovers (including a season-high 18 steals).
Freshman guard Ashley Barlow led five Notre Dame players in double figures, tossing in a career-high 21 points to go along with a game-best nine rebounds. Junior center Melissa D’Amico turned in another efficient outing, adding 17 points in 18 minutes of court time.
