He is our only fourth-year senior and he knows how our system works and what our pro- gram's expectations are both on and off the court. "T.J. proved his mettle last year when we lost some key veteran players to injury. He embraced his unexpected leadership role and turned in an all-league type of perfor - mance. T.J. is ready to take his game and his role as a leader on our team to even higher levels this season. "Elijah is a great example of the develop- ment model that our program prides itself on. He is ready for a breakout season on the court and his leadership in the locker room carries over to his work as a part of the ACC Student-Athlete Advisory Council and in our own Student-Athlete Welfare and Development Office." Notre Dame men's basketball head coach Mike Brey on REX PFLUEGER, T.J. Gibbs and Elijah Burns being named captains for the 2018-19 season "If the Irish run the table, they would have a 95.9 percent chance to reach the playoff and a 13.1 percent chance to win it all. If Notre Dame loses to USC, its chances would drop to 59.5 percent. "It's highly unlikely an undefeated Notre Dame would be left out of the top four. If the Irish lose, it opens the door for debate, and they would have to hope that Stanford can rebound in the second half of the season and Michigan stays ranked and in the hunt for the Big Ten title." — ESPN's Heather Dinich on Notre Dame being No. 3 in her 'Win and they're in' section of separating the undefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision following week six "This was a classic letdown spot after a big win over Stanford in week five. And, at first, it looked like the Fighting Irish might struggle against Vir- ginia Tech. But the offense opened things up in the second half as the Irish went on a 28-7 run to win 45-23. With that test passed, the hardest re- maining game on the schedule is likely the season- ending road game at USC." — Ben Kercheval of CBS Sports on Notre Dame being one of his winners from week six of the college football season PHOTO BY COREY BODDEN UNDER THE DOME OF THE WEEK "Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
