Notre Dame Basketball's 'Season of Hell' Adds Injury to Coach vs No. 1 Duke

  • On Feb. 24, 2026, No. 1 Duke routed Notre Dame in South Bend, 100-56, their worst home loss since 1898.
  • Notre Dame's depleted roster, hit by injuries to starters, contributed to the result as freshman Jalen Haralson missed his third straight game and Markus Burton is out for the season, while big man Kebba Njie also remains sidelined.
  • Cameron Boozer dominated early, powering Duke's blowout with 20 first-half points and nine rebounds on 10 of 12 shooting, while Darren Harris scored 16 and Patrick Ngongba II and Caleb Foster added 13 points each.
  • The result moved Duke to 26-2, 14-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play, while Notre Dame fell to 12-16, 3-12, and will host N.C. State on Saturday.
  • As the AP No. 1 team, Duke kept rolling after a big Saturday win, and Notre Dame head coach Micah Shrewsberry wore a boot after an apparent ankle injury.
