Slowly but surely becoming desperate to get its second ACC win, Notre Dame (10-6, 1-4) will get its next crack when it visits Georgia Tech (8-8, 3-3) on Wednesday. Historically, that will present a challenge as the Yellow Jackets are 10-1 against the Irish at McCamish Pavilion. The good news for the Irish is they have won the past two games in this head-to-head matchup, so they’ll at least have that recent rend working in their favor.
A double-double for John Mooney in this game would be his 11th in a row, and that would tie the school record set by Luke Harangody in the 2008-09 season. It took him 15 games this season to get to 200 rebounds, tying Blake Griffin in his second and final year at Oklahoma (2008-09) for the second-quickest march to that mark for a major conference player. He is the sixth player in all of Division I to reach 200 boards in 15 games. Only Tim Duncan at Wake Forest and Adonal Foyle at Colgate have done it in 14 games, both during the 1996-97 season.
