- There’s only one way to describe Notre Dame’s first three weeks: “shoot."
There’s only one way to describe the start of the season. From a big road win to a huge upset, to a 59-point win. Sophomore Jeremiyah Love sums it up with one word.
“Shoot” Love said.
Pretty simple response when asked just about anything in the post-game after the win over Purdue.
“I mean, shoot last week we didn't play to our standard and shoot, we just got to play to play to our standard. And this week, we did. So, shoot,” Love added.
From 14 total points to against NIU, to 66 points in a blowout win over the Boilermakers.
“Just don't underestimate your opponent,” Love said.
“Shoot, if your opponent is like, projected to be like, not better than you. I mean, that should give you more motivation to just dominate them even more,” the Sophomore mentioned.
