5 Notre Dame basketball players in history to reach a triple- double in a game, with freshman guard Marina Mabrey the most recent against Valparaiso Nov. 23 with 18 points, 12 steals and 10 assists. Other women to achieve the feat were Skylar Dig- gins (2009-13) twice and Mary Gavin (1984-88) and Sara Liebscher (1987-91) once apiece. The lone men's player to record the feat was freshman guard Chris Thomas in his Irish debut versus New Hampshire on Nov. 16, 2001. 6 NFL games former Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen (2007-09) has appeared in the last five years after playing in 13 as a Carolina Panthers rookie in 2010. Clausen, who set the single-season pass efficiency record at Notre Dame as a junior in 2009, was waived by the Chicago Bears Nov. 23 but then picked up by Baltimore. 17.9 Average possession length in seconds for the Notre Dame men's basketball team in its first three games of the season, quicker than 2015 (18.4 seconds) and 2014 (19.0 seconds), per Kenpom.com.

His streak of starts (when eligible) tied the most ever by an Irish cornerback set from 1980-83 by Stacey Toran. The last Notre Dame cornerback to start every game three years in a row was Allen Rossum from 1995-97 (36 total starts). All-American Luther Bradley did the same from 1975-77 (35 total starts). 1,029 Rushing yards by senior running back C.J. Prosise, who was listed doubtful for the Nov. 28 game at Stanford because of an ankle injury.
