Shooting Woes Continue for our Fighting Irish

Mike Brey's Fighting Irish have been struggling scoring the basketball -- over the last seven games -- they have shot less than 40% from the field in all SEVEN.

They can't buy a bucket and they can't buy a win -- seven straight losses...

Notre Dame is now ranked #168 in field goal shooting percentage of the 351 teams in Division I college basketball.

To give you a sense on how poorly we're shooting the basketball these last seven games --- there are only SEVEN teams -- out of the 351 in Division I college basketball shooting less than 40% from the field.
