@#23 Lafayette 82, George Washington 68
The largest crowd ever to watch a basketball game at the Kirby Center enjoys the raising of our 2025 NCAA championship banner and the awarding of the Leopards' national championship rings.
Micah Rodriguez takes a night off from his professional club to receive his ring, and graduates
Jeffrey Hampton and
Kurt Ritchie are on hand, too.
They watch a solid performance by this year's Leopards.
Charles Allen dominates in his first collegiate start: 24 points (5-12 from three), 10 rebounds, 5 assists.
Carter Todd, also making his first career start, gives us a double double-double: 18 points, 10 rebounds.
Kamari Stone passes out 7 assists.
Duncan Sims contributes 15 points and 3 rebounds in 15 minutes, and
Bret Bryant adds 7 points and 8 rebounds in 24 minutes. It's a very satisfying performance to open the new season.
Record: 1-0.

The visitors make over half their shots, which is concerning, but we score even more productively than they do and claim another W.
Charles Allen shines again, with 26 points and 9 boards.
Kenton Lashley becomes the third Leopard to post a double-double: 21 points, 10 rebounds.
Bret Bryant posts 13 points and 6 rebounds in reserve duty, and
Duncan Sims records 4 steals.
Record: 2-0.

Behind 22 points from

The Tribe probably feel like they deserve a win, but a
Kenton Lashley bucket with 20 seconds remaining snatches it from their hands. Lashley converted a fantastic pass from
Kamari Stone, one of his 5 assists on the night.
Lashley finishes with 22 points.
Carter Todd (18 pts/8 reb) and
Charles Allen (17 pts/8 reb) are productive, and Bret Bryant collects 12 rebounds in 19 minutes.
Record: 4-0.

Graham Sims probably never thought a visit from Lafayette would fill Notre Dame's Joyce Center to capacity and be televised nationally.

Player of Game: SG Kenton Lashley (LFYTE)
The Leopards fire off 41 threes, which is more than one per minute. That's a LOT of long-range gunning. One of those threes, made by
Kenton Lashley, brings the visitors within a point, 79-78, with under a minute to play.
Lashley finishes with an assertive 35 points, but the top-ranked Fighting Irish keep the other Leopards under wraps. Still, there's no shame losing to the #1 team in the country by three points in their gym.
You might remember
Jamal Jeter's name. He's the five-star player who qualified late and whom we recruited briefly before he signed with Notre Dame. He's thriving in South Bend, and I'm glad to see it.
Record: 4-1.

We have no problem with the Blue Hens in our second straight road game.
With each passing game, I'm more delighted that
Kenton Lashley decided to return to College Hill for his redshirt senior season. Tonight, he scores 24 points and grabs 7 rebounds.
Charles Allen (15 pts) and
Carter Todd (13 pts, 9 reb) continue to play well, and
Carl McGriff (9 rebounds) makes his presence felt.
Bret Bryant makes a strong case for more playing time, with 7 points and 7 rebounds in only 16 minutes of action.
The victory is the
400th of
Graham Sims' career. His record stands at 400-92, and he's one of three coaches to reach the 400 mark.
Kenneth Burroughs of Southern California and
Douglas Gillum of Kansas are the others.
Record: 5-1.
