00:05 Anything with Nate Dostoevsky setting screens works.
00:10 Back to Starling, knocking it down.
00:14 JJ Starling, the McDonald's All-American, his stroke is looking good.
00:18 Great job by Trey.
00:21 JJ Starling back in the game for Notre Dame.
00:23 Trying to go off the bounce with the left, you see the quickness.
00:26 Starling had two threes in the first half,
00:29 missed his first bucket in the second.
00:32 Just turning the corner, nice finish with the right hand.
00:38 Catch and shoot, three from the corner, missed by Covington.
00:42 Leaking out, good one.
00:47 A minute 23, Starling.
00:50 Still daring him to shoot, going under on that screen.
00:53 And he answers.
00:54 Drills another one.
00:59 So look, you see, they're going to set those late screens.
01:01 Leshevsky altering it a little bit.
01:03 He's got a big guy on him.
01:05 Nelson not wanting to come out and pressure the shot.
01:11 Big time jump shot right there, Bob.
01:13 With one on the shot clock.
01:15 Yep.
01:19 Goodwin sees the lane, kicks off to Starling.
01:22 Taking it inside, drives in and gets the roll.
01:25 He can play like a senior.
01:26 Yeah, he's a highly touted freshman.
01:29 He came in.
01:32 Ertz kicks off to Goodwin.
01:35 Starling.
01:38 Oh, my.
01:39 Inside the freshman.
01:41 For the two, what a great pickup.
01:43 The program's highest ever recruit,
01:45 and that was Steele again.
01:51 2013, we see one time on the go
01:53 and next time on the D, just aware.
01:56 This kid has such a bright future.
01:58 But it's been Ws across the board
02:00 for the undefeated Irish.
02:03 Here's Starling.
02:05 Nice crossover.
02:06 What skills that Starling has for the bucket.
02:10 Four minutes.
02:16 Starling off the glass.
02:19 He's in double figures.
02:20 They're going to be just fine.
02:22 They've had a long stretch here.
02:24 Wipe all this away.
02:26 Put this game in the rear view.
02:27 Nothing to learn from it.
02:29 It's a great shooter's gym,
02:31 and if you are scuffling a guy like Gerard,
02:34 it can really get you going.
02:36 Talk about getting going.
02:37 Goodwin out of the corner.
02:39 Hot from outside the arc, playing inside out against --
02:46 Shot clocked down to four.
02:48 On the drive by Starling and a tough angle.
02:50 It's a first two at the rim for Notre Dame.
02:52 You reverse the ball,
02:53 the more you have a chance to attack a closeout.
02:56 Look at that take.
02:58 The thing that Notre Dame does so well is find the open man.
03:07 Beautiful finish inside from Starling.
03:10 Back and set it up.
03:11 Good decision by the freshman guard.
03:15 Starling, beautiful dish inside.
03:17 Ben Allen Lubin takes care of it from there.
03:20 Starling steps back. Got it.
03:29 And that played here, Demetrius Jackson.
03:32 Nine years ago, Mike Bray's got another good one.
03:35 Knocking it down.
03:37 Irish really good from the free-throw line,
03:39 but they've only attempted ten free-throws in a game.
03:43 Starling puts it on the floor.
03:44 There you go. Spins that one.
03:46 Yep.
03:48 He's been quiet in this second half.
03:53 Starling, rhythm three, and he drills it.
03:56 JJ Starling.
03:58 Take away. The zone has been the more effective defense today.
04:08 Starling, coast to coast.
04:11 Jacksonville is on a seven-nothing run here.
04:15 Lubin dumps it inside.
04:18 Leshefsky, and he scores it.
04:22 Six boards as well for Peyton.
04:25 Here's Ryan for three.
04:27 See, there you go.
04:30 The Irish, an efficient offensive team coming in at eight and six,
04:33 but Owen three in the lead.
04:35 Under five on the timer for Starling,
04:36 who fires and hits the first basket tonight.
04:39 That kid can play.
04:41 Post-entry, I see what you did there, huh?
04:42 You like that, see? You're catching on.
04:46 Starling, step back.
04:48 Oh, yeah.
04:50 Even though North Carolina's not the rebounding team
04:52 that they were last year,
04:54 you know, with Baycott in there, they're still formidable.
04:58 And Zona inside, taking advantage of his playing time.
05:03 Good defense by RJ Davis to stay in front of Trey Wurtz.
05:06 He's got a great defensive game.
05:08 Starling got pushed. Yeah, he did, and that's going to count.
05:11 The foul on Huff Johnson.
05:13 You see a lot of this with guys driving the arm bar,
05:16 but he reacted to it without throwing his head back.
05:20 Oftentimes when you throw your head back,
05:22 the officials are going to say, you know, that was a --
05:24 We'll see how well it works, but it's been practiced today.
05:28 In for Starling.
05:29 Cross midcourt, gets a shot up there, and hits it.
05:33 [Buzzer]
05:35 He drained it.
05:37 Dave goes to the locker room up by one.
05:39 It's almost like having special teams practice.
05:42 When you're at Notre Dame Shoot-A-Round,
05:45 you see them work on these plays at the end.
05:48 Georgia Tech right back at it.
05:50 They've cut the lead to one.
05:53 Hammond.
05:56 Starling in the lane, and a drive, and count it.
06:00 Instead of settling for the three,
06:03 which would have been a good shot,
06:04 he attacks the basket, finishes.
06:08 [Whistle blows]
06:11 Here's Starling. First at speed.
06:13 Jams it down. JJ Starling.
06:18 Take another look.
06:19 I'm not sure what they're calling,
06:20 but JJ Starling showing off the hops.
06:24 My goodness. Elbow in the rim,
06:26 and that is a big-time move by the freshman for Notre Dame.
06:31 [Music]
06:38 You know, you're going to go through cold spells like this.
06:41 Knocked down 15 of them against the Syracuse 2-3 zone.
06:45 Starling on the drive pass green.
06:47 Now it's just a two-point game,
06:49 and ten made threes in the game for the Irish.
06:53 After the slow start in the second half,
06:55 Hammond up ahead. This is Ryan.
06:58 Feeds it to Leschewski. He'll let the defender go.
07:00 Ryan from the corner.
07:03 Eleventh BC turnover, ten for Notre Dame,
07:06 so about equal there.
07:09 Starling spinning and scoring on the baseline.
07:13 Smith wants it, gets it. Deep three.
07:16 Too much on it.
07:17 Starling splits the double team, lays it off the window,
07:24 and in. Twenty seconds left in regulation.
07:28 Starling, hard to the hole through contact.
07:32 Makes it a four-point game.
07:34 Mike Bray uses his final timeout.
07:37 Against the Rattlers, he had 19 rebounds.
07:40 Sidney Curry, 19 boards against Florida A&M.
07:43 Tell you what, JJ Starling's feeling it this afternoon.
07:46 Little more of a 1-3-1 look right now with Hammond at the top,
07:49 and there's the steal by Starling.
07:51 Get up, young fella.
07:53 [Cheering]
07:57 Irish trying to stay within striking distance,
07:59 getting late in this one.
08:02 Thrilled by a point at halftime.
08:05 Thrilled by 13 now.
08:08 Packed with great shooting, solid offense.
08:12 Two teams really desperate for a win.
08:14 Putting it mildly. Starling has another bucket.
08:18 [Cheering]
08:21 Leschewski gives it up.
08:24 Starling and the foul.
08:27 Wow. Mike Young can't believe it.
08:29 Gets to his left hand.
08:32 Penetrate and kick.
08:34 He's just a big, strong guard, able to finish.
08:39 44-33.
08:41 Hookup by 11. Here's Starling down the bar.
08:44 What a move.
08:46 Now he'll drive on Lubin.
08:47 Spin to the basket.
08:48 It's blocked by Van Alen Lubin.
08:53 90 seconds to play in Cameron.
08:55 Starling for three.
08:56 He's got it, and it's a two-point game.
09:00 The fighting end of the Fighting Irish tonight.
09:04 25 made.
09:05 Off the resume and give them a better chance.
09:09 Goodwin fighting inside for the second chance.
09:12 Starling, what a pretty basket that was for the freshman.
