SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Even as Fort Wayne made a run Tuesday night, No. 23 Notre Dame stayed calm.
The Fighting Irish saw a 27-point lead in the second half whittled down to nine with under 3 minutes left, but they hit their free throws down the stretch to close out an 87-72 win over the Mastodons.
Bonzie Colson had his sixth straight double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds, and Steve Vasturia scored 21 points for the Fighting Irish (9-0).
