Someone is going to exit this Players Era Tourney at the Grand Garden with an 0-3 record and we suspect that will be the Fighting Irish. Who, despite the NIL rewards of this Players Era tourney, might be wondering if it was worth the trip after top scorer Markus Burton injured a knee on Tuesday in the OT loss to Rutgers. With Burton on the self until further notice, the Domers displayed some scrap when hanging within earshot of Houston on Wednesday. but make no mistake, Micah Shrewsberry's team is on short rations offensively at the moment, going eight minutes in the second half without a field goal vs. the Cougs, when Notre Dame didn't get a single point from its bench. The injury news is better for the Bluejays, who got deadeye G Steven Ashworth back to active duty on Wednesday in the narrow loss to A&M. Back to near full strength, it should be edge Creighton at the Grand Garden. Play Creighton (at MGM Grand Garden, Las Vegas)
