Now, they've actually β teams don't hit them that much.
Like, teams are only hitting 33% of three-point field goals against them, but Notre Dame lets you shoot a lot of them.
That may be a little bit of luck for Notre Dame, maybe a little bit that they've gotten good at closing out when guys are taking those threes.

It's just really difficult to get offensive rebounds against them.
And that's at least something they can hang their hat on from a defensive standpoint.
