FORT WAYNE – Records: No. 20 Notre Dame 2-0, Saint Joseph’s 1-0
When: 9:30 p.m. today
Where: Barclays Center, Brooklyn
TV: TruTV
Radio: 1450 AM
Notre Dame leaders: Jack Cooley (17.5), Scott Martin (12.5), Eric Atkins (4.5)
Saint Joseph’s leaders: Langston Galloway (20 points), Galloway and Halil Kanacevic (2 assists), Ronald Roberts (12 rebounds)
Key matchup: Notre Dame guard Pat Connaughton will likely need to be the primary defensive stopper against Galloway, but it will take a team effort to slow down the Saint Joseph’s junior guard.
The skinny: This is the first of two games in the championship round of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. The Irish will play either Florida State or BYU on Saturday. … Notre Dame defeated Saint Joseph’s in the teams’ only other meeting, winning 68-65 in the 1992 Sugar Bowl Tournament. … Irish reserve center Garrick Sherman had career highs in points (22) and rebounds (9) in Notre Dame’s 84-57 home win over Monmouth on Monday.
