Lafayette (0-2) was no match for Notre Dame, losing 84-66 Sunday afternoon in South Bend. Notre Dame improves to 1-1 in South Bend against Patriot League teams in 2005 (40-4 overall, home and away).

Most telling stat from the box score: How about Notre Dame's 43-29 advantage on the boards.

Most promising line for Lafayette: Freshman point guard Andrew Brown, the Leopards' only frosh to see more than a minute of action, had a plus one in assist-turnover ratio (5A-4TO) and scored 8 points in 34 minutes.
